What an amazing shoot with Cristol for her updated Branding Images! Like most people that come to me for photographs of any kind, they are less than excited. It's just one of those things. We feel awkward, uncomfortable, are almost certain we will dislike every image and in general, it's just not something we're excited about. BUT something that is SO necessary!
When I spoke with Cristol initially, she had the same concerns. She has never liked images of herself and the process was just downright painful. I assured her if she chose to work with me, I would alleviate all that stress for her. I would help her plan her outfits, thru a consultation. I would arrange hair and makeup for her. The look would be all her own and can be as professional or glammed up as YOU would like it to be. She would be guided thru the entire session on how to pose and what would be flattering for her. She would have multiple outfit changes which meant she would be able to showcase so many sides of her personality!
The goal of your branding images is that they show professionalism but also your personality! A prospective client will have a much better time connecting with you thru your images and being a better fit.
She was quite surprised when she came back for her follow up Image Selection that she actually had a hard time narrowing them down. We worked together to find the perfect variety of images, and outfits for her and she finally had images that she was really proud of.
"I really, really love my images. I can assure you it never crossed my mind that I'd think it was difficult to narrow down because I typically don't love my images..." I actually just recommended to a friend today that if she wanted a self-confidence boost, then she needed to get really great headshots taken...."
If you are thinking of a Branding Shoot or just need some updated headshots, get in touch with me. I'm happy to walk you thru the different options!
