In this post, I share why to invest in a Personal Branding Photoshoot. How overwhelmed do you feel right now? I know you are because this is how I feel. As solo entrepreneurs, we have so much on our plates. My dream is to have someone handle my social media so I can focus on my main strengths: photography and creative direction for clients. In this post, I share why you should invest in a personal branding photoshoot.

You know your business is special; you’ve poured your heart into it, but it’s not showing right now!

Your business should be standing out from the crowd, unfortunately, it’s lost among a lot of other companies. You aim to stand out by selling YOU, for people to buy you and what your brand represents. 

They could as well choose another wedding planner, designer, or florist. Show them that everything from your brand to your offering aligns, and get them to trust you by being authentic. This way, you can offer them the value and help they need to reach their goals.

You’re the whole package; you’re not just a service, an entrepreneur, a creative. You are a personality and a lifestyle, someone who sets aspirations for what your ideal client can aim to feel working with you. 

Your challenge right now is to bring these intentions into your business. How can you attract your ideal client to your website and social media, and keep them engaged with what you do?

These three essential elements will invite your ideal audience to connect and be part of your tribe.

1. Be consistent with your branding; everything has to align with your logo, copy, colours, and images. Consistency will help develop trust, show your expertise and be professional

2. Tell a story, last week I was talking about Seth Godin talking about developing an emotional connection with your audience. The way to do that is by telling your story, the behind-the-scenes, the process, the experience and the most important YOU.

3. Your social media requires a lot of visual content and has to be thought of as part of your brand; you don’t want your brand to be diluted with irrelevant content posted on social media.

You need an array of images that you can use and remix for your social media content, images that are showstoppers but also feature your product, highlighting the experience to create a connection.

When you think about all of this, it makes you cringe as you don’t know how to deal with your visual content, and photography is not a skill you want to focus on right now. You need help. 

What can a (personal) branding photoshoot do for me?

Investing in a personal branding photoshoot will give you time to focus on what you’re good at and provide you with peace of mind that the images created are telling the right message, are unique and working for your brand. 

A branding photoshoot doesn’t stop at your portrait, the idea is to create a visual journey for your brand, from you as the face behind the business to your products, but it’s not only about creating emotions through the experience you’re giving, inviting your ideal audience into your unique world.

The images will be your first point of connection, allowing your audience to decide if they want to read more and connect with you. How does that sound?
