Personal Branding & Headshots
Headshots
Headshots are a photograph of your head and a bit of your shoulders, nothing more. This is the quickest way of communicating who you are and to recognize you in a group of other portraits. Headshots are great for social media, business cards and website profiles. The subject is usually looking directly into the camera in a fairly formal pose. The photos are generally shot against a plain white, grey or black background in order to accent the subject rather than the environment.
Personal Branding
Personal branding photography includes headshots and so much more. The photoshoot tends to place more importance on the environment - thus, requiring on-location shoots instead of in-studio. The subject can be looking at the camera, or away, or even engaging with other people or props. Poses tend to be much more casual and relaxed. Personal branding gives you more opportunity to show different sides of your personality and really resonate with your client base.
The Process
Let’s meet in person, via zoom or chat on the phone. This is just the initial getting to know each other and a way for me to find out exactly what your needs are and how I may help you. Once you have booked your session we’ll discuss the look and type of the images you’d like to capture and how you plan on using your images. We’ll discuss wardrobe, styling, what looks great on camera and how you should dress and prepare for your session. We will talk about locations for your shoot as well as packages I offer and what each package includes.
The portrait and headshot sessions will involve meeting at my home-based studio with your wardrobe choices pressed and ready to go (a steamer is available for last minute touch ups). If you are having hair and makeup done, my artist will be ready for you at the studio.
