“Why do I hate myself in photos?”

If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you’re not alone.

So many women look at a picture of themselves and immediately think, I hate my chin, or why are my eyes so squinty, or I’m just not photogenic.

But there are real psychological reasons why photos can feel so confronting, and none of them mean there’s something wrong with you.

Choosing the right location for your brand shoot can be overwhelming part of planning your brand photo session. Here are some of my best tips to help you find the best location for your brand shoot.

When people hear the word headshot, they often picture something stiff: a corporate-looking photo taken against a plain background, usually with a forced smile and a suit jacket.

A truly strategic brand photo session doesn’t happen in a single afternoon. In fact, it’s built over several weeks of thoughtful planning, alignment, and collaboration.

Let’s start with the basics: not all brand photos are strategic.

You can look incredible in a bunch of photos from a brand shoot, and still end up with images that don’t actually help your business. You post them once, they’re forgotten on your hard drive, or they just don’t really fit anywhere on your website.

So how do we really make a brand photo session strategic?
