What is a branding session?

February 28, 2020
Education  ·  Photography

WOHOOOOOO I’m STOKED you’re here! Branding sessions have so much power for your business.

If you’re creating a website it can look incredible if done right. If done right but done with iPhone photos, it can be ruined instantly (sorry if this applies to yours) but it’s true. A pro image can change the entire vibe of your website and also your social media.Mix in a few iPhone photos with a good edit and some professional images and your clients will take your business in with a new vision, treat you as more qualified in a sense. It’s all in perception.

In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
John Appleseed

So what is a branding session?A branding session is about showing your future client a few very important things:

  • what your business is all about
  • How you can help them with what they need
  • Who you are as a person and why you’re passionate about what you offer

Clients want to know this before you even have your first conversation and done through a branding story with images and video, is such a POWERFUL way of connecting.

Our businesses show only about 10% of what we do to a client.For instance, as a photographer, most of my clients will see the final image and think that thats my business. In a sense, yes, creating art with my camera is what I do however 90% of my business is behind the scenes. The hustle of marketing, the building of my business, connecting with my clients before even meeting them to create a genuine experience for them and to be able to tell their story thats TRUE TO THEM! I can’t tell someones branding story if I don’t know what it is. There’s so much passion, drive and hustle that goes into a business and that is the story of your brand. This hustle and personality behind the brand is what I want to help you share with your clients.

I offer two kinds of branding photography to ensure we capture you and your business correctly. Different packages include different things and we can go over all of that when we chat!

Lifestyle Branding PhotographyThis is all about the behind the scenes of your brand, who you are and capturing your personality in a beautiful location. We can meet at a coffee shop, capture you “working” then got for a walk around town or to a local spot and capture your personality in a variety of different ways.

Studio Branding PhotographyThis is a studio set up located in Abbotsford BC. You will have some headshots and full body images captured in a white backdrop studio set up. Depending on the package you choose, we can then move throughout the studio and capture some lifestyle type photos within the space. Sitting at the desk working away, looking out the window brainstorming your business plans etc.

Whatever type of photography you decide is best for you business, I want you to know that I’m not a stiff, stand still and pose type photographer. Whatever your vibe and ideas you have in mind, I will have you laughing and being genuine in everything we do. If you feel stiff and uncomfortable in your photos YOU WILL LOOK THAT WAY and thats not what we want. Not awkward stiff portraits, just relaxed, chill and FREAKING AMAZING!!

Having a collection of “staple” images that al Having a collection of “staple” images that align with your brand is one of the most powerful tools you can have for your business. It’s a game-changer for your online presence and your peace of mind!

So, what exactly are staple images? Think of them as your visual toolkit—a versatile library of photos that consistently represent your brand’s voice and personality. These aren’t just for your website’s main page; they’re the images you can reach for on a busy day when you need to post to social media, update an email newsletter, or create a quick ad.

The Benefits of Your Visual Toolkit

Having this curated collection of images offers incredible advantages for your brand:

👉🏻Consistency and Professionalism: Staple images ensure your brand’s look and feel are always cohesive and polished. When a client sees the same high-quality visual style on your website, social media, and marketing, it builds trust and makes your brand instantly recognizable. This consistency shows you’re a serious, credible professional.

👉🏻Efficiency and Time-Saving: How many times have you struggled to find the right photo for a post? With a library of on-brand images, that problem disappears. You can quickly pull a photo that fits your message, saving you valuable time and the stress of a last-minute search. This allows you to focus on the content of your post, not the visuals.

👉🏻Brand Authority and Storytelling: These images help you tell your brand’s story without saying a word. A great staple image can convey the quality of your work, the energy of your business, and the unique personality behind it all. This helps you build authority and an emotional connection with your audience, making your brand more memorable.

Pro Tip

Your staple image library should include a mix of professional headshots, dynamic “in-action” shots of you working, and detail shots that highlight the tools of your trade or the vibe of your studio. The more variety you have, the more you can say with your images.

Are there any specific types of staple images you’re looking to create for your brand?
