How would you determine if a personal branding session is right for you? Are you a professional speaker, a wealth management consultant, a doctor, a lawyer, a personal trainer, a chef, real estate broker or any other business? Are you an Orange County business that needs to update your headshots and marketing material? Almost any business will benefit by having a library of images that helps them tell their brand story online.

Who needs a Personal branding session.

If you own or run a business that could benefit from showing up online on a regular basis, you are the perfect candidate for a personal branding session. When creating an online presence and driving traffic to your business, you need images that help your ideal client get to know you and connect with you on a deeper level.

“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.” Seth Godin

What should personal branding marketing do for you?

Your marketing should be about turning strangers into friends and friends into clients. The best way for you to do this online, is with images of you and your staff and people interacting with your product or service.

Here is a recent branding session that I did with Align Wealth Management company. The objective was to share their new office space and a little personality (Nick is not only the CEO, but he is also a very talented musician who uses his talent to connect with his clients).

A Personal Brand Session Library

Personal Branding Sessions

is not just about creating the perfect headshot. Instead, it is creating an entire library of images that enable clients to get to know you better and to connect with your brand. At it’s best, Personal Branding Photography, can help you connect with your ideal client on a whole different level as they get to know, like and trust you and your business.

Meet Andrea Guevara she helps businesses, brands, writers and creative entrepreneurs attract their people by helping them leverage their irresistible authenticity. Her personality is big, her colors are bold and she is full of positive energy to attract her ideal clients. Long Beach is her home, and it made the ideal background for her personal branding session.

A lot of thought went into making sure Andrea’s personal branding session was authentic to her brand and to her personality. So not only was the location important, but the wardrobe for the session needed to compliment the location and to look great on Andrea. When selecting a wardrobe for a personal branding session, the most important factor is fit. All clothing should fit perfectly, no baggy or oversize clothing as it doesn’t flatter the subject.

Here are just a few of our favorite images from the session. I would love to tell your brand story. Click here to book your session.

Abby’s Makeover and Headshots

One of my greatest joys is showing people how amazing they can look in a photograph, especially women. In fact, I really love working with gals of all ages. From the preteen that is just learning how to wear makeup and do their hair to helping create a fresh new look for Moms, I just really love making people feel beautiful.

Professional Model-type Headshots

Meet my friend Lori. As it goes with most stories, her passion for nutrition (especially for kids) was the result of a scare in her own life. Lori is a beautiful, fit, energetic gal with a wonderful, loving energy. She was working lots of hours and raising her four boys. Out of nowhere, Lori had a stroke. She is not what you would picture in your head as a person at risk for any type of health scare, but it happened. Lori was inspired to change her life, to be there for her family. And Lori knew that the key was good nutrition and that it needed to begin in childhood. So Lori created the website and blog called www.juicebuds.com. There she provides great recipes, life stories that include her four amazing boys and lots of inspiration. She is also now a holistic health coach to help others achieve a healthy lifestyle.

Lori and I got together to do a fun photography session to celebrate her! Here are just a few of my favorite images from the day. View the whole post and her healthy beautiful headshots.

Modeling Headshots Styled Session

In 2016, we decided to do a fun, collaboration styled session with Breathe Autumn Rain jewelry, with makeup by Brittany Norton (brittanynortonartistry) and myself all contributing to a photography session.

We were extremely lucky to get several beautiful girls to volunteer their time to model for us in exchange for providing professional headshots for them. We all consulted together on wardrobe, overall style and also how to best give everyone involved an opportunity to do something a little different and creative. View the entire post and the modeling photos.

I hope you enjoyed this little flashback to some of my favorite model shoots.

Beautiful Molly: Los Angeles Portrait Photography

Another fabulous editorial session starring Molly in Venice Beach and downtown Los Angeles! This gal is up for Ms. California this year (she already holds the title of Ms. Southern California) and we feel like she will have no trouble winning the tiara! Rashae, from Fansea Finds, was so genereous to share her fabulous props and clothing and Laura Foster provided the fabulous makeup and hair styling. I definitely think Molly got the “dream team” treatment. Enjoy!
