What IS a Personal Branding photography session? Personal brand photo sessions start with a consultation to get to know you and your branding goals. Sessions usually include headshots, waist up and or ¾ length standing or seated. Because the session is so customized to suit your brand, the types of images we create will vary from one business to another. We always suggest bringing several change of clothes to offer variety to your session and look.

Who is this session for? Short answer – anyone who is representing their brand. Small business owners, solo and entrepreneurs, creative professionals, public figures, coaches, speakers, real estate agents, C Suite executives, and more!

Why do I need a personal branding session? Strong images give your brand a personality. We live in a visual world, and if people can’t see you they don’t know if they can trust you. With your web presence you have a small window of time to build that key first impression.

What can I expect during the session? You can expect a personalized, customized, and not rushed session experience. You will have time to change wardrobe if you like. Ladies: hair and makeup is always recommended and helps you look and feel your best in front of the camera. We partner with a nearby salon that offers this service in their salon or at our studio. It is our goal to make you feel comfortable throughout the session so we can capture your true personality, and keep it fun too.

What can I do with my images?

Social media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Linked In. Social media posts that include an image receive 120-180% more visibility and engagement.
Your website: Blogs, home page, about me, landing pages, contact me, for example.
Marketing collateral: Business cards, brochures, mailers, or other printed marketing materials.⠀
Press releases, speaking engagements, email signatures, and anywhere you have the opportunity to show people what it would be like to work with you.⠀

Women Portraits in Houston

Houston area professionals are broadening their corporate image from traditional business headshots to casual headshots. Today’s corporate session typically consists of a traditional headshot, a casual headshot and ¾ standing portrait, with a variety of outfits pre-selected. Business leaders are requesting both portrait styles in order to connect with a larger audience. A professional business image for digital marketing is a key element when clients are searching for business services.

People conveying approachable personalities in their profile images are more likely to gain new business. The days of “selfies” and “cut outs” from family photos are a recipe for failure. If your desired audience has put forth the effort of professional portraits, your image should also reflect the same level of polished professionalism. Many executives update their executive portraits regularly and continue to come to us repeatedly for their photography needs.

Houston Marketing Business Portrait

Advertising Business Headshots

Houston marketing business portrait photographer, Michael Carr, recently photographed Terry for his new business website and his new national marketing campaign. On the day of his session, our client brought in a concept layout provided by his web designer for Michael to use as inspiration for the client’s business portrait. The graphic design director wanted the photographer to be able to visualize the direction the client’s new website campaign. After a brief portrait consultation before the session, we agreed on casual business attire combined with an interactive welcoming expression for his portrait. The format for the client’s new marketing collateral and website imagery design lead this final image to be a horizontal headshot portrait on a solid white background. After a few quick previews we all knew we had the portrait image Terry and team had envisioned. The art director loved this image. This new headshot image for this client’s website and marketing campaign is helping to propel his business on a national level.
