You are so excited after booking your personal branding photo session. Now what? You might be thinking – What should I wear? Where should I do the photoshoot? What poses should I do?

Check out this blog about what patterns to avoid when choosing your outfits and then this blog for location ideas.

When I work with my clients, we discuss their goals and visions so I can help them plan all the details, including poses and the photos they need.

I always ensure that these five poses are my branding photo sessions because they are versatile and can be customized to fit your unique brand personality.

Classic Headshot

This pose is a must for any entrepreneur or professional. You can use it everywhere – social media profile photos, an upcoming speaking engagement, your About Me page on your website, and more. This pose can be taken standing or sitting in a studio or outdoors.

Act Serious or Silly?

Do I need to look at the camera and smile all the time? Nope! You can look away in deep thought, act silly, or laugh. This fun pose is great for showing your personality.

The Action Shots

Action shots are essential to showcase your work environment, daily activities, and how you work with your clients. Do you work with your clients in person or virtually? Do you have an office space? Are you writing a book? This pose gives a behind-the-scenes look into your professional life, making your brand more relatable and authentic.

The Relaxed Lean

This pose may be simple, but it is powerful! It conveys a relaxed, approachable, and friendly vibe. This pose is great for lifestyle brands or professionals who want to appear more accessible and down-to-earth.

The Movement Shots

Movement can add energy and life to your photos, making them more dynamic and interesting. You can walk, spin, jump, or interact with your surroundings. This pose is great for showcasing your sense of enthusiasm and friendliness.

Of course, there are many different poses we can do during your personal branding photo session. Choosing the right poses for your personal branding photo session is crucial for creating a strong and impactful visual brand while sharing your messaging.
