Read On...
1. Get Comfortable With Your Personal Style
Take this as your invitation to dig through your own wardrobe and Pinterest boards and find your image inspiration. We're not striving for perfection, but presence — and the key to a recognizable personal brand starts with your own style essence.
Take a quick flip through images of yourself that you love, focusing on the ones that highlight your confidence and personality 👋 And the fastest way hone in on your style… you guessed it! By doing.
2. Say Goodbye to Cookie Cutter Images
The only rule in Brand Photography, is there are no rules in Brand Photography! Five main photography scenarios separate basic brands from scroll-stopping business images: profile photos, the Invitation image, Gimme that Lifestyle Photo, Show 'Em Your Sparkle, and all of the Juicy details. This superfecta controls how you show all of the facets of your own personality, products and services. And once you get these basics down pat…
Move on to styling and strategy! Take cues from your entrepreneurial idols and your style mavens. What about their personal brand image excites you? Can you use their inspiration in your own online visibility?
3. Find Your Visual Niche
Once you’ve got built up a bit of expertise, zero in on your niche. There are so many genres to choose from — all pro imagery, a mixture of pro and selfies, a well designed feed or going with the flow just to name a few! Hopefully, this quiz has helped point you in the right direction…
But it’s not the be-all and end-all. Take the tips I’ve given you here and start creating your trademark style. Invest some time in researching successful personal brands in your industry — and never stop building that image library! Your next scroll-stopping shot might be right around the bend.
Personal Brands are not cookie cutter businesses trying to emulate what everyone else is doing in their niche...

Hey,

I help driven creatives & solopreneurs step into their visual influence. I got my start in photography when I was very young. I picked up my grandfather's Polaroid and started snapping pics (and selfies) from my fresh point of view. Fast-forward a few decades — after several years working as a corporate event planner & then bespoke wedding cake artist, I took the plunge, quit, and started out as a freelance photographer for creatives... Creating a personal brand of my own! Now I want to help you do the same! If you’re here to put in the work, I’m here to help 🙌
