How to Prepare for your Personal Branding Session

Congratulations on taking the step to schedule a personal branding session with me! I’m so looking forward to our time together when we will capture amazing portraits to showcase your unique brand.

Are you wondering what the best way to prepare for a personal branding session? In addition to my general guide on preparing for your headshot session, I have a few tips to share to help you get ready to present your best self to your clients.

How to prepare for your personal branding session

1. Don’t wait to plan your outfits

Start putting together your outfits as soon as your session is booked. This way you'll have plenty of time to shop for a new shirt or accessories if you need to. The right outfit should make you feel confident and comfortable, and also show your personality. Try not to stress about choosing the perfect outfit. Choose what feels natural and have some fun with it!

2. Know your route

Nothing can ruin a good mood like being stressed about getting lost or being late. Calculate your route and how long it will take you to get to my studio by putting the address in your GPS before the date of your session. This will help you to know exactly how much time you need to get here and alleviate any stress.

3. Choose a mantra

Come up with a mantra that you'll say to yourself during your session. Sometimes this is a message you want to share with your clients, or an encouraging phrase that you tell yourself often. This will help you have a positive mindset and focus on all the good that will come out of your session. It can be easy to focus on the fact that you're nervous or don't like being in front of the camera, so repeating a mantra can help train your thoughts in the right direction.

These few simple steps can help prepare you for an amazing personal branding photo session experience. I can’t wait to have some fun together capturing your personality in creative, professional images to use in your marketing.
