What should I wear for a Personal Branding Portrait?

When you sign up for our Personal Branding sessions, a professional wardrobe stylist will assist you with this decision. Our stylists will either meet with you in the comfort of your home, or your appointment can include a personal shopping experience, to help you select five head to toe outfits. Our stylists take into consideration any special needs including brand colors or products that you want to include in your photo session. They also know what styles photograph the best to enhance your individual beauty. Prior to your session, your stylist will send some quick shots to Kim to ensure she can better prepare for capturing you at your best.

We like to ensure any clients that feel they are not photogenic leave our session realizing and believing they take “good pictures.”

How often should I update my Headshot?

We recommend updating your headshot every 1-3 years. We all morph a little and/or our hairstyles change. Clothes come in and out of fashion. It is important to have your headshot be consistent with your current look.

How should I use my images?

In your pre-branding consult, Kim will discuss your image needs as well as make suggestions for other usage opportunities. Many clients love having their photos designed with a “blank space” option so they can add customized text. Images are designed to be multi-use. These portraits are your first impressions and personal brand; therefore, we want to help you get the most from your investment. To assist with your ongoing use, Kim provides a tip sheet after you receive your images.
