The possibilities of a branding session at House of 301
I am so glad you asked! When you think of a branding session, where does your mind go directly to? Okay, good. Now, if I have you figured out, I am going to say your thoughts aren’t wrong, but they aren’t 100% right either.
If you are thinking you’d like to book a Branding Session, let’s dive into what it entails from House of 301, POV.
Portraits, Details, Candids.. yes, it is not just one piece of the puzzle, but all pieces of the puzzle. You come to us because you want to do it right the first time.
Portraits:
This is cover story quality. Portraits of YOU, your face, your energy, your style. These photos are about, well, YOU.

Details:
What do you do? What props and tools do you use everyday in your business? Think books, computers, phones, glasses, jewlery, shoes? What are you selling and marketing? You need to be bringing the items that relate to your brand to the session so we can capture flat lays, and what we call, ‘filler photos’ for your website and social media. I get it, you don’t want to share your face in every post and that is EXACTLY why these are so important! Be intentional. We want these to feel high end, not cheesy.

Candids:
Every ones favorite word. When you hear candid, you hear natural, effortless, authentic. Yes, it means all of these things but it also means YOU in your element, combining portraits with your details. You walking with your swatches if you’re an interior designer, you holding albums or hanging a framed photo you took if you are a photographer selling albums and prints. These are images caught in the act of doing what you do everyday but in a way that makes your client feel something. It isn’t just a snap, these take intentional direction to create and that is why I am here. To help guide you to create your dream images for your brand.

So, a quick recap. Branding is not only headshots of you, they are intentional and well thought out images including details and candids to create a versatile gallery that can grow with you and promote your brand from all angles. A branding session should be able to give you a whole instagram feed of verstality where the images flow but are not the same. Someone should be able to go to your website and either know what you do, or want to know what you do.
It is time to start investing in full branding, not just headshots. Start thinking ‘big brand’ minded. You know what they say, you dress for where you are going, not where you are. Are you looking to grow and get the recognition you and your brand deserve, or stay in fear of nothing changing? It is time to start thinking outside the box for your next Branding Photoshoot and we can help.
You know what else is fun? We provide professional makeup services and wardrobe styling in-house. Things never got easier for you to make the right decision when booking your creative house and photography studio.
