How to Choose Your Locations for Your Personal Branding Session
It's time! You're finally planning your personal branding photo session!!!
Now what?!?
There are a few things you need to consider when choosing your locations for your personal branding photo session. Your photos should tell a story - a story of who you are and what you do. It should also show why you do it. Let me help you tell your story through photographs. Here are some ideas to think about while you're think about and planning your session. My Gold package can potentially cover all of these places, depending on the locations and your goals for images.
Your Home
This won't be an ideal choice for everyone, but like most small business owners, a majority of your work is likely done from home. This is where you are checking and answering emails, calling clients back, and organizing your thoughts. Think outside the box here - you don't JUST work at your desk. You're checking emails in bed, scrolling social media and replying to comments on your couch, posting things while you're outside with your kids. Be authentic! We can capture amazing moments of how you authentically run your business that aren't just at a desk.
Some Ideas:
- Front Porch
- Couch
- Backyard
- Kitchen
- Dining Room Table
- Home Office
Your Workplace

Working Out and About
Who doesn't love to work at a local coffee shop or out at a park? As I write this I am at my local public library! It's just reality and how many are working these days. There's just something about being able to people watch while working. You aren't isolated at home, but you are also not fully interacting with others.
Capturing this real side to you helps your potential clients and customers connect with you.
Some Ideas:
- Your favorite coffee shop
- A local park
- Your local library
- A co-working space
- A play cafe where you work and your kids play
