Branding Photographer: Brittany Schnell

Branding photoshoots are a fantastic way for businesses to create a ton of creative content in a short amount of time. There’s so much that can be done to show off a business’s products, services, team and history. Most are excited for the updated social profile photos, but branding photography is so much more than that. Here are a few of the ways a branding photoshoot could benefit your business.

1. Social Profile Photo- This one is pretty easy. It’s been months, maybe even a year since your business’s profile photo has been updated. Let’s change that!

2. Website- There’s so many places on your website that branding photos could be used- products, services, meet the team and behind the scenes are just to name a few.

3. Blog Posts- Maybe this falls under the website, but it’s a no brainer!! Show who wrote the blog, where the ‘wrote’ the blog, or what she wrote it with.

4. Blog Graphics- That thumbnail isn’t going to make itself!

5. Pinterest Graphics - Create traffic to your website by using aesthetic layouts and fire photos.

6. Social Media Posts- Another no brainer! Chances are, you have something to say and photos help the message get out there!

7. Facebook, Youtube & Twitter Headers- Don’t be criminal and use a boring stock photo!! Branded images feel natural and look good!

8. Video Graphics- If you create video content for platforms like Youtub, TikTok, IGTV or Facebook TV, you can easily turn images into motion graphics using platforms like photoshop or canva.

9. Business Cards- Including branded images on your business card is one of the easiest ways to personalize them- especially when it is a portrait of you!

10. Networking and Speaking Events- Speakers are often requested to submit a headshot for marketing and branding purposes. You have one chance to make a first impression. What kind of impression are you making?

11. Marketing Material- If you ever need to print marketing material for an event, show or fair'- you will be extremely grateful for the awesome images.

12. Pricing Guide- This is a great place to introduce yourself and your products/services to potential clients.
