Let’s be real: most people are a little self-conscious in front of the camera. It’s just a fact, especially for women, especially for women who aren’t used to being the center of attention.

Here are some posing tips and tricks to use in your next branding photography session.

Normally I wouldn’t even THINK about talking winter holidays until like November 20th.

They’re just not my thing.

But you know what is my thing?

Pictures. Lifting up other businesses. Making business owners’ lives easier. Creating gorgeous images for you to use in your marketing.

This was such a fun branding session because each location was so different that we were able to capture so much of Claire’s personality and what makes her amazing and unique. She wasn’t afraid to laugh at herself or change her outfit in the middle of the desert. We had a blast.

If you haven’t been to one of their programs, I implore you to attend next year’s. Keep an eye on their social media pages and block the date off on your calendar once it’s announced.

The images you get at these sessions will help you update your visual content and refresh your online presence. Whether you’re new to business and just need a few pictures, or you’re ready for a full branding session but want to test the waters, these sessions are perfectly simplified to just show up and get updated images. It’s a couple of hours of content creation, a little networking, and a whole lot of fun.

Branding photography is more than a headshot. It’s more than a portrait. It’s a set of beautifully curated images that speak to your audience by showcasing your brand and humanizing your business.
