What I love about my images is that Elle captured a holistic picture of who I am as a person and what my brand stands for. Even different parts of my personality shined through, giving my audience a more authentic understanding of who I am: thoughtful, sexy, powerful, playful, and at peace.

I truly didn’t know how much my business needed these photos until I saw them. Two years ago, Elle captured my first set of brand photos and I was honestly pretty convinced I didn’t need a refresh - the original ones were still great! But… My business and brand has evolved over the years so it was time I had images to reflect that.I’ve sat in on a lot of stuffy brand strategy sessions over the years - this was better. The brand shoot with Elle gave me clarity, confidence, and a plan.

In addition to beautiful photos, I’m also walking away with some inspired ideas for how to use these images alongside meaningful content and education for my customers. Throughout the session, Elle would paint a picture of how each image could be used, which then sparked my own imagination as well.

FAQ’s

A strong personal brand allows you to connect with your client and build a know, like, and trust factor. Your personal brand is a way for you to, one, promote yourself. I know that when many of us think of self-promotion, we all think of the Kim Kardashians and Paris Hiltons of the world, but in reality, all entrepreneurs, authors, coaches, and thought leaders need to promote themselves on some level. Bottom line is, If people don’t know who you are, how can they do business with you?
A personal brand done right will allow you to position yourself as the guide or expert to help you find your ideal client and solve their problems. Your personal branding also puts you in a position as the go-to professional. They will be singing your praises with glowing Google reviews and share all of their amazing experiences with their friends. We will take a deep dive on this topic and strategy in a future post.

The short answer? ABSOLUTELY! Branding sessions are fantastic for business owners, real estate agents, content creators, business professionals, community leaders, students, etc. The most obvious group to benefit from having a strong personal brand are professionals, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. As a small business, you are the face of your business! A personal branding strategy will help you develop a personal brand that will allow your business to stand out in a saturated market and build authentic connections with your ideal clients.
Business professionals, take the next step in your career.

Most professionals, students and community leaders only need to do a branding session once every couple of years. For content creators, business owners, and specialized business professionals, having updated images of the current you, your space, new offerings, etc should be completed at least once a year. Some companies will try to tell you that quarterly images are necessary....I can't say I agree with this methodology. We do it right by creating a curated experience so there is no reason to do a shoot more than once a year.
-
