Not Just Headshots: Branding Photos That Pop! - Courtney Mitchell

Let's Talk Personal Branding Photoshoots

What they are, why they matter, and how to make yours stand out

If you're building a business, a brand, or just trying to level up your online presence—you need more than a cute headshot.

You need personal branding photos.

These are the photos that tell your story, show your personality, and create trust before you even say a word. Whether you're a coach, creative, educator, influencer, or entrepreneur—these images help people see who you are and what you're about.

And here’s the good news: they can actually be fun (not stiff, not awkward, and definitely not boring).

What Is a Personal Branding Photoshoot?

A personal branding shoot is a curated photo session that captures YOU in your element—whether that's working behind the scenes, connecting with clients, or showing off the personality behind the product.

It includes:

Lifestyle portraits
Working or "day in the life" shots
Detail photos of tools, products, or spaces
Fun, on-brand moments that bring your vibe to life

It's not about looking corporate. It's about looking like you on your best day.

Why Personal Branding Photos Matter

Your audience wants to connect with a person, not just a logo. Great branding photos:

Build connection + trust
Make your website and social media scroll-stopping
Create consistency across your platforms
Help you show up with confidence online

Let your face be the brand. People buy from people—especially ones they feel like they know.

What to Expect During Your Shoot

Don't worry, you won't be awkwardly posing in front of a blank wall. We'll plan a shoot that feels like you, looks like your brand, and gives you tons of usable content.

You can expect:

A pre-shoot planning session to talk about your brand, your goals, and your vibe
Help choosing outfits + props that fit your message
Direction every step of the way (no modeling experience needed!)
A mix of portraits, lifestyle, and candid moments that feel natural and fun

Tips to Prep for Your Branding Shoot

Know your brand vibe. Are you clean + minimal or bold + bubbly?
Plan your content needs. Website banners, Instagram reels, product shots—what are you shooting for?
Choose outfits that feel like you. Bonus points for brand colors + textures that pop.
Think props. Bring your laptop, coffee mug, sketchbook—whatever tells your story.
Trust your photographer. I’ve got the direction, the vision, and the hype energy you need.

You Deserve to Be the Face of Your Brand

A personal branding shoot is more than pretty pictures—it’s confidence, connection, and content that works for you.
