BRAND | HEADSHOT

What is the difference between Business Branding and Corporate Headshot?

The amount of time dedicated to planning, duration and styling your session and the intended use of the final images is what differs these two services.

​

Corporate Headshots highlight an individual’s face in a clean and polished manner in a 40 minutes session. They are typically used for:

✓ LinkedIn profiles

✓ Company websites & team pages

✓  Business cards & email signatures

✓ Conference speaker bios

✓ Press releases & corporate materials

​

Key Features of a Corporate Headshot:

  • Focus on the face: Usually a close-up or mid-shot with a neutral background.

  • Professional attire: Business or business-casual clothing is common.

  • Clean & consistent: Often follows company branding guidelines for a uniform look across all employees.

​

Best for: Professionals, executives, and team members needing a polished and credible online presence.

​

Business Branding Photography goes beyond a simple headshot. It tells a visual story about you, your brand, and what you do in a 2 - 3 hour full customized service. It includes a variety of styled images that showcase your personality, values and brand identity. These images are used for:

✓ Website & social media content
✓ Marketing materials & ads
✓ Brand storytelling
✓ Personal branding for entrepreneurs
✓ Speaking engagements & media features

​

Key Features of Business Branding Photography:

  • More than just a headshot and multiple poses: Includes half and full length portraits with different lifestyle profiles.

  • Varied wardrobe: More relaxed and expressive compared to a traditional corporate headshot.

  • Showcases personality: Helps connect with your audience by highlighting your brand’s unique values and style.

​

Best for: Entrepreneurs, small business owners, influencers, and creatives looking to build a strong personal brand.

 

Which One Do You Need?

  • If you're looking for a simple, professional image for corporate use, a corporate headshot is your best choice.

  • If you need a visual brand identity that tells your story and engages your audience, business branding photography is the way to go.

In many cases, having both is beneficial—use headshots for formal needs and branding images to showcase your business authentically. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a small business owner, or a corporate professional, the right photography can shape how potential clients and connections perceive you.

​

​

I hate being in front of the camera, I am not photogenic at all, it makes me so nervous ..

My clients are real people and come from all walks of life - they are moms, dads, grandmas, entrepreneurs, and more. And most real people (me included) do not feel natural in front of the camera. Good news, I am here exactly for that. 

​

With my experience, I will guide you through flattering poses, that highlight your confidence and authentic self. You will leave your session feeling like a million bucks, no matter who you are or what your background is.

​

​

I don't have anything to wear?

Don’t worry, with your booking you receive complimentary wardrobe consultation. We will go through what you can wear and what looks good in photos.
