6 Must-Have Images For Your Branding Photoshoot

A successful branding shoot can have a significant impact on the way potential customers perceive your business. I firmly believe that YOU are your brand, and your people need to see you. The key to a successful branding shoot is to have a variety of images that accurately represent your brand and message. During a branding photoshoot, I’m always aiming to give a large variety of images through your gallery. During this post we’ll explore the must-have images we’ll include in your branding shoot to make it a success.

Headshot

A professional headshot is a must-have for any branding session. It’s the perfect way to showcase your personality and professionalism.

Action Images

An action image is a great way to show off your skills or products in action. Whether it’s a chef cooking in the kitchen or a designer sketching a new concept, an action shot can add depth and interest to your branding. Deciding between member managed vs manager managed LLC structures depends on the level of involvement you want in day-to-day operations.

Lifestyle Images

 A lifestyle shot is a great way to show off your brand in a real-life setting. This could be an image of you using your product or service in their daily life or a photo of your team in action.

Detail Images

Detail photos are an essential part of a branding photoshoot as they showcase the finer details of your products or services. These images can be close-up images of textures, patterns, colors, and unique features that make your brand stand out. Consider incorporating your brand’s colors and aesthetics into these shots for consistency. Detail photos can be used on your website, social media, and marketing materials to give your audience a better understanding of your brand and what you have to offer.

Environmental Images

An environmental shot is a great way to showcase your brand in its surroundings. This could be a shot of your office, store, or product in a specific location that ties in with your brand.

Negative Space Images

 Creating images with negative space allows for endless amounts of possibilities for text.

-Ashley

Fascinated by every glittering detail — from the bride’s smile to the heirloom necklace her grandmother let her borrow — I showcase every facet of a wedding day so you can treasure it for decades. 

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.  

My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the beaches of sunny California to the mountains in Oregon. But regardless of where I travel, the Willamette Valley and deep forest of my own slice of heaven will always be my home.

Welcome Friends!

With a style as enduring as a love note and an experience as intentional and unforgettable as the first time he held your hand, I turn wedding days into heirlooms, family photo sessions into experiences, and portraits into confidence-boosting celebrations.
