When Should I Hire a Branding Photographer?

When you get a headshot, it is typically framed from the chest up, or a close-up of your face. A headshot is great for your social media profile, resume, or About Me page. But there are occasions when you need more than just a headshot.

That’s where branding photos come in. Your branding photos help to build trust with your prospects and they are a relationship-building tool for your marketing.

Here are just some of the key reasons you’ll want to book a branding session with a personal branding photographer:

1. Re-branding or Updating Your Website: You’re re-launching your revised website and want to introduce yourself and your team. Telling your story is one thing; seeing you in action is even better.
2. Public Relations: You need a photo shoot for a public relations event. From podcasts to magazine spreads, be ready with a variety of storytelling images that resonate with the audience.
3. New Business/Services: You’ve opened a brand new business, or you added new services or products and need photos for your website, brochures, and social media accounts. You’ll get images ready for web and print, so all your marketing needs are covered.
4. Building Your Personal Brand: You’ve realized that updating your personal branding is necessary to elevate the know, like, and trust factors. If you’ve joined new organizations, you’ll have branding photos to help you stand out from the crowd. 
5. Public Speaking: You want to be known as a public speaker, an industry expert. You are ready to get a fresh set of branding images to be featured at a conference or series of events.
6. Growing Team: You’re growing your team and want to highlight the culture of your business and share the vibe of the company to attract comparable new hires.
7. Becoming an Author: You will soon be releasing a book as an author. Activities like book signings, podcasts, and appearances at book clubs all fall under the category of book marketing. To promote your new book, you need more than just one headshot. Plan your photo session in advance of the publication of your book so that you’re prepared to hit the road.
