5 Types of Photos You Can Get at a Brand Mini Session | Norman, Oklahoma Brand Photographer
Hey, I get it. Not everyone is ready for a full brand session. But have you thought about a personal brand mini session instead?
This may be exactly what you need to hit the ground running in the new year and amplify your marketing efforts.
Minis are a quick 20 minute brand session that pack a punch in a short amount of time. With the right planning, we’ll create purposeful images that you need for your business. Here are the 5 types of super useful photos we can create during a personal brand mini session.
Modern Headshots
Every one of my brand sessions includes modern headshots and for good reason! They’re extremely useful and versatile, and you can use these images in so many different areas to market your business. These are lifestyle headshots where you’re looking at the camera but rather than a tradition headshot with a close crop, these include a little more of your environment. They can be you sitting at a desk, in a chair, and even include props like a laptop or other tools of the trade that represent your business.
Tools of the Trade
Close up shots of your tools of the trade make for great content. In a full branding session we’d create beautiful flat lays containing the objects that represent your business but in our mini session, we’ll get some creative up close shots of you holding your tools. Your mini session questionnaire will help us plan for the best ways to utilize your tools of the trade in your photos.
Examples:
Real Estate Agent: Keychain with key
Spiritual Coach: Cards or crystals
Copywriter: Laptop or notebook
Lifestyle Images that Show Your Personality
These images are an absolute MUST! These are the photos that you’re likely going to get the most engagement with especially when paired with a genuine, personal caption. Lifestyle personal brand photos are what is going to help you connect with your audience and make you magnetic to your ideal clients. People buy from brands they can relate to and feel comfortable with.
Working Shots or BTS
Believe it or not, people are interested in how you work and what your process is. In a full personal brand session we really dive into this area of your business and get a good number of behind the scenes brand images and photos of you working. In a brand mini session, with a good plan, we can also get some of these types of photos.
Examples:
Are phone calls a big part of your process?
Do you meditate before big meetings?
Is the majority of your time spent working on a laptop?
Do you journal?
A Product You’re Trying to Promote or One You Recommend
You don’t have to be a product based business to include a product in your brand mini session. Maybe you’re a business coach that recommends certain books to all of your clients, let’s include those. We’re creating for content here so think about what you want to talk about to your audience! Brand mini sessions are also great for product based business that are launching a new product that they need some lifestyle images of. We can structure the mini based on your needs :)
