What Is Personal Brand Photography & Why Is It Important?

Personal Brand Photography is so important in today’s online world.  Instagram, Facebook and  your Website are all platforms for you to connect with your customer and while having photos of the product or service you sell are important, what is equally important are photos of YOU.  Yep, you read that right….you are the face of your company and you need to show it!

Now before you click away shaking your head, hear me out. Today’s marketplace is more competitive than ever but the one thing that you have that makes your company unique is you.  And trust me, your customers want to get to know the person behind the product or service you sell.  I think we can all agree that we prefer to make purchases from those we know, like and trust.  And what better way to create this type of connection than showcasing your personality and style through visual imagery or personal brand photography?

If you’re wondering what types of photos this would entail it is best to think in terms of stories.  What “story” would you tell a potential client about yourself?  For instance, what inspires you, what are your hobbies, what do you like to do when you are not working, what do you like to do with your family, what does it look like behind the scenes of your business?  There are endless possibilities and all of these can set you apart from your competition.

So… I turned a pool ring and a bin of old garlands into a Christmas wreath and honestly, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself right now. 😂 Who knew this pink pool float could transform into a holiday wreath?

You know I love photography, but give me a craft project and I get super excited. This little DIY was easy, budget-friendly, and now my barn is looking sooo festive!

✨ Want the steps? I’m happy to share!

Am I the only one NOT ready for Christmas decor yet? 🍂

I’m still enjoying fall colors, pumpkins, and gold candles. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is next week!

I just want to enjoy this season a bit longer before the twinkle lights take over.

Tell me I’m not alone — are you already decorating for Christmas or savoring fall with me? 🤎

Want to know a secret? I’m a big believer in taking little check-in breaks during my branding shoots. It’s a chance for you to catch your breath, see a few images on the back of the camera, and make sure everything feels on track. I want you to love how you look and feel during your session, so these quick pauses help us tweak anything—from hair to posing to the overall vibe. It keeps things relaxed, fun, and totally you.

Ready to get photos you actually love? Let’s get your session booked!
