Personal Branding
#SquadBettie Special Edition Sessions
10AM to 4PM By Appointment
The corporate headshot has evolved. Today, it is very contemporary, highly styled, and it needs to immediately set you apart from your competitors.
This type of “Personal Branding” is perfect for Lawyers, Doctors, Real Estate Agents, Business Executives, Authors, Creatives, Bloggers, Artists, Designers, and Musicians alike. It is also equally important to style hair, makeup, and wear clothing that matches your brand or type of business and to show your brand’s personality.
I can help you maximize your social branding and show your brand’s story with images that are clean and dynamic, images that help attract, entice, and “speak” to your audience.
DETAILS:
45 minute session, 2 outfits. (Add layers like a blazer or sweater for plenty of variety.)
Our exclusive, online magazine with all the details on how to prepare and what to bring.
Professional pose coaching by owner and photographer Elise Kutt.
5 unforgettable, digital images, complete with our signature, magazine-style retouching, plus a print/usage release.
An online gallery of 20+ images you can pick from after your shoot plus the option to purchase additional images at a discounted rate of $75/image.
The utter confidence that you'll never, ever say the words, "I'm not photogenic" again.
Arrive to our downtown studio at your scheduled session time ready to shoot! After a quick wardrobe change you'll get a crash course on posing before making your debut in front of the camera. The entire experience will take approximately one hour for clothing styling and shooting.
