Essence of You | Your Personal Brand
Personal branding is more than a headshot
Personal branding images show your brand story, your intention, and your brand story. I work to show your prospective clients who you are, what you do, and what is unique about you and your business.
Personal Branding is an extension of who you are — an important way in which people remember you in business or your personal life or dating.
The more you can define who you are and what you do, with a clear intention or ‘why’, the more authentic and likeable you come across. This is what is so inviting for new prospects to get to know you and contact you to take the next step.
Your most important objective is to create a solid know-LOVE-trust factor with potential clients or partners, as quickly as possible.
The more prospects understand who you are, see you as a genuine human being that understands their needs, and is someone they might even like to know, the more likely they are to work with you over your competitors, and the more money you will earn. The more money you earn, the more good you can do!
Together, we create a brand image with your unique authenticity and openness through photographs that showcase your story.
