Today’s blog was fun to put together! I get so many questions about using branding photography to connect with your audience and grow your business so today I’m sharing 5 ways to show your personality in branding photos! Read on for the tips!

Define your brand personality

Gaining clarity and confidence in your brand will always be my top tip for any personal branding educational blog haha! Before you can show off your personality, you should define it! Are you easygoing and laid back? Are you outgoing and fun? Helpful, quirky, sarcastic, spiritual, adventurous, etc? Write down your business personality traits and what your ideal client will relate to and you’re off to a good start!

Show behind the scenes

These are my favorite type of brand photos! Show what your business looks like behind the scenes! How do you get your work done? What would be interesting to share with your audience? Use your caption to draw your audience in, giving insight into your day-to-day tasks.

Use props

Props are one of the best ways to show off your personality! They can be as simple as the tools of your trade (laptop, camera, phone) or fun personal items that you love having in your life! I geeked out over Audrey’s fun props from her branding session! They all represent her desire in helping others meet their goals in fitness, pain management, and stress release!

Choose a location that represents you

Get creative! Where do you get your best work done or just go to relax? Here are some examples from my boss babes: in an office, on the couch, in a coffee shop, shopping for supplies, by the water, etc!
