Last year I made a blog post titled “10 Steps to Planning Your Custom Branding Photography Session” where I reviewed my process step by step, from our first meeting to your finished pictures. Since then, my process has changed a bit so I wanted to update that with a new post that gives you insight into the branding photography process.

This is your guide to getting gorgeous images that help you show up authentically online and draw in the clients you want to work with.

I think my favorite part of the group branding sessions I had this year was the connection I watched happen between the women who attended. They all got to know each other in a way that otherwise wouldn’t have happened, which is a huge deal to me. My goal with these was to give small business owners a chance to get gorgeous pictures at a lower cost than a full session while also providing some connections with other entrepreneurs.

I talk a lot about establishing your brand through branding photography, but what if you already have an established brand and you need to have a photoshoot to create new content?

Incorporate your existing brand into those pictures! Your photographer should have steps to get that information from you, but to give you some ideas on how you can do it here are some helpful tips.

So instead of only offering these full sessions, wouldn’t it be nice to offer something on a smaller scale that doesn’t take as much planning on the clients’ end and is less expensive?

Enter: My group branding sessions.

The premise was this: a set date and location that allowed women to come and go as they pleased and update their “headshots” while also connecting with other local women who are building their businesses and their brands.

It got a lot of interest when I was talking to people, so I ran with it.

And the first one was a HIT.

This is why I’ve started hosting (almost) monthly group branding sessions for women.

These sessions give you a chance as an entrepreneur to get updated branding images for a small fraction of the typical price. But even better, they give you a chance to have some fun with other women who are also building their brand. To connect, to bond, to “network” and share in your journeys.

Leveling up your marketing by investing in professional branding photography is a scary next step in your business. I understand! Spending money can be intimidating, but it’s also necessary to invest in your business to continue growing.

So I’ve created this step-by-step explanation showing you exactly what I do to ensure that your branding session is everything you need it to be. When clients book with me I want them to feel confident that they’re getting quality work from someone they trust.
