You feel like a boss in your business (because you are), but the thought of stepping in front of a camera is quite frankly the last thing you want to do. Like ever.  Girlfriend, I get it.  It feels incredibly vulnerable to pose for pictures.  All kinds of insecurities about your looks and awkwardness come up when you even think about it.  This is why I put a special emphasis on helping you feel prepared, and comfortable during your shoot. I feel that it’s my gift to show camera-shy women that they are great in pictures.

So, What is a branding shoot like?

First off, It's way more fun than most people think

On the day of the photoshoot, I’ll coach you with minute to minute posing, and give you tips so you know exactly what to do in your images. I’m a very hands on photographer and believe in the power of helping you pose. In our consultation before the photoshoot session, I’ll guide you to the perfect location, how to use props, brand style, outfits, jewelry, makeup, hairstyles, and even fingernail polish so you arrive fully prepared for your pictures and don’t have to search on your own.

After our session together, I take what I know about how you’re marketing your business to help you choose the photographs that are going to position you as a leader in your field, help you connect with dedicated, dream customers, and set you up for exponential growth. We are using photography as a marketing tool to connect you with people and save you time. You only get one chance to create that first impression online so let’s make sure it’s a good one.

Your images are a way for you to show anything from your personal style, your morning routine, the process you go through with each client, and an opportunity to show that you’re an authority on your business.  Your photographs not only change the look, but the entire experience your clients have when landing on your website.  It can be such a powerful tool to position business owners and entrepreneurs.

Business owners can also use their images to build relationships and create impact through story.  Content marketing is simple when you receive the images you need. My goal is to make finding the right assets simple and powerful so that people remember you and your business.

    Commercial Use of the Pictures

    Once you order images, you are the owner of a commercial use release. I differ from lots of photographers and photography services. I don’t request use credit for your branding photoshoot unless the image is published outside of your assets. The goal is to create conversions for small business owners, not me. After you order your favorites, I allow you to edit, add light, color, text, or filters to match your branding and marketing. The only restriction is that you cannot give the images or sell them to other businesses. My business owners have used the images they receive on book covers, billboards, on buildings, press releases and their business page.

    Is a personal branding session right for me?

    If you’re a business owner, or side hustler and know it’s time to take things in your business to another level, yes. High quality images communicate value and help real people and potential clients fall in love with you and your business. With this investment, we will make your photography personal to you. So if you’ve been searching for a “brand photographer near me” I would love to chat!

    My hope as the photographer and founder behind Art of Her is to walk you through this experience so that you are comfortable showing up in images. I want women that have been taught to humble and quiet to see that they can have impact when they are ready to share their gift with the world. The gift of who they are, and to also stop being held back by the fear of showing up.
