For her personal brand session, we incorporated her love for plants and floral elements and her beloved brand "mascot", her dog, Yoda, into her brand photography session. Heather is a bright and quirky person so her photos needed to reflect that. We wanted her session to be creative and personal and to show her heart for animals, her love for the environment, and how these things influence her beauty standards and approach to her services.

Your brand photos are not only about you.

Branding photography is a chance for us to communicate with the people we want to be reaching. To speak directly to them.

But you don’t want to speak to everyone. If you’re speaking to everyone, you’re reaching no one.

Maybe you think photos of yourself never turn out well (I have a way of helping you show up beautifully and naturally on camera). Or maybe you’re someone, like Monique here, who as she put it, “has never had proper photos taken”. Let’s embrace your inner goddess and let her shine so you can actually feel good about sending people to your website and really start making those bucks.

How do you make the most of your Austin brand photo shoot? You know you need headshots and new website photos, but you are ready to stand out from the sea of same. You want unique Austin personal brand photography that is a true reflection of your spirit, and communicates your offering but isn’t tired and lame.

How often do I need truly new brand photos anyway? At least once a year.

Branding photography is not a one-and-done deal. As your business evolves, so do you, and so should your personal branding photos.

How do I know it's time to book my brand photography session?

Have you caught yourself wondering “should I start thinking about my own personal brand photos?” Yes? Then you’re likely already in need of planning for your own shoot.

If you’re wondering whether to photograph your personal branding photos on location or in my Austin studio, my typical response is usually…

“Well, it depends.”

The main goal for this Austin Branding Photo Session was to attract a high-end market that trusted Robin with the creative control and direction of their design project while getting the sense that she was artistic and fun. This drove several of our creative and stylistic decisions… we wanted to establish credibility and also create a bit of creative edge.

With the “Human-First” approach, Megan reminds us to prioritize our humanity while running a business, in essence putting our mental health and well-being at the forefront so that we can then in turn be overall better business owners and contributors to the world (including our own, obviously).

This drove the inspiration behind our Austin brand photo session which Megan came all the way from Minnesota for!

That’s why there’s a mix of bed-shots, desk shots, some dirty laundry, and lots of socks, as well as headshots and content photos, of course.
