Branding Photography for Introverts
I’ve noticed recently, that many of the service-based entrepreneurs I work with are introverts. They do their best work one-to-one or behind the scenes. They’re careful listeners and value connection with their clients.
They understand the value of creating a personal brand, however, the thought of continually showing up online, being high energy and kind of “performing” is very draining for them.
So, I want to reassure you that you don’t need to perform or be someone you’re not to show up for your brand.
You just need to be seen in a way that feels like YOU.
INTROVERSION IS A STRENGTH
Because you’re so intune with your clients, you’re able to create meaningful experiences for them.
Personal branding as an introvert requires some thoughtfulness and intention. When done right, your photos will capture who you really are…calm, grounded and thoughtful. The images can help deepen your connection with potential customers and clients.
LOW PRESSURE PHOTO SESSION
Your personal branding experience should be a collaboration. It’s not about being loud and trendy. It’s about determining how we can help you to feel the most comfortable. What space would you be able to settle in and feel safe?
Maybe, it’s a quiet and familiar location
It could mean taking frequent breaks
Allowing extra time to keep the session unrushed and calm
Demonstrations and explanations of movements (no guessing on your part)
You don’t have to be “on”. You just need to show up:). And, if you feel awkward and unsure in front of the camera, that’s very common! That’s why part of my job is to help you feel comfortable enough to forget about the camera, even briefly.
PREPARATION
I want to make sure that all your questions are answered so you don’t worry about “doing it wrong”. We’ll talk about how you want your images to look, what’s important for your client to see in order to feel trust working with you, where you’d be most comfortable being photographed, some simple outfit choices and put together a plan.
Visibility doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
Your brand can naturally hold attention without shouting.
We can capture brand photos that feel calm and grounded, but still have a strong online presence.
When you’re ready, we’ll create a brand photo session that actually feels good. Consider this post your permission to simply show up as you are!
I’m happy to meet you there.
