Personal Branding Photography in New Orleans
Professional images for business owners, creatives, and working professionals who need more than a headshot
New Orleans Branding Photography
A headshot is a strong start, but sometimes you need more than one polished image.
Personal branding photography gives you a fuller set of professional photos you can use across your website, LinkedIn, social media, speaker bio, email marketing, client materials, and business profiles.
I photograph personal branding sessions in New Orleans for realtors, attorneys, consultants, coaches, speakers, therapists, medical professionals, financial professionals, creatives, small business owners, and professionals who need clean images that feel current and useful.
The session is guided, organized, and built around how you actually plan to use the photos.
Personal branding sessions start at $450.
What Is Personal Branding Photography?
Personal branding photography is a portrait session designed to give you more variety than a standard headshot.
Instead of only taking one tight profile image, we create a small library of images that show you in a professional, approachable, and natural way.
This may include:
-
Clean headshots
-
Lifestyle portraits
-
Workspace photos
-
Detail images
-
Behind-the-scenes images
-
Social media images
-
Website banner images
-
Speaking or coaching style images
-
Professional “at work” images
-
Images with your tools, laptop, office, or environment
The goal is to give you photos that make it easier to show up online and promote your work.

Lifestyle Portraits
Lifestyle portraits are a good fit if you want updated personal photos that feel natural and versatile. These sessions work well for creatives, artists, personal use, and anyone who wants portraits with a little more personality and movement.

Personal Branding
If you want portraits that feel more personal than a standard headshot but still polished enough to use online, this is often the right fit. These sessions are ideal for creators, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want a more natural brand presence.
Who This Is For
Personal branding sessions are a strong fit for:
-
Realtors
-
Attorneys
-
Coaches
-
Speakers
-
Consultants
-
Therapists
-
Financial professionals
-
Medical professionals
-
Creatives
-
Small business owners
-
Entrepreneurs
-
Nonprofit leaders
-
Educators
-
Executives
-

-
Personal brands
If people need to know, like, and trust you before they book, hire, refer, or contact you, personal branding photos can help you make a stronger first impression.
More Than a Headshot, Less Than Monthly Content
This session sits between a standard headshot and a full monthly content package.
A headshot gives you one polished image.
A personal branding session gives you a set of images you can use in different places.
A monthly content package gives you fresh photos and clips every month.
Personal branding is the right fit when you need a strong image library now, but you are not ready for recurring monthly content.
What We Can Create
Your session can be built around your profession, location, personality, and marketing needs.
For realtors, we may create approachable portraits, phone/laptop images, neighborhood-style photos, and images that feel useful for listings, announcements, and social media.
For attorneys and consultants, we may focus on polished portraits, office images, professional details, and clean website-ready photos.
For therapists, medical professionals, and wellness providers, we may create calm, approachable images that feel professional without looking cold.
For speakers and coaches, we may create confident portraits, laptop images, speaking-style images, and content that works for bio pages, flyers, and social media.
For creatives and small business owners, we may include workspace photos, process images, tools, products, lifestyle portraits, and behind-the-scenes content.
How the Session Works
1. Send Your Brand and Business Details
Start by sending what you do, where you plan to use the photos, and what kind of image you want to present.
Helpful details include:
-
Your profession
-
Website or social media links
-
Preferred location
-
Outfit ideas
-
Brand colors
-
Examples of images you like
-
Whether you need website, LinkedIn, social media, or marketing images
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I’ll help you narrow it down.
2. We Plan the Looks and Location
The best branding sessions have a simple plan.
We will talk through outfit changes, background options, location ideas, and the types of images you need.
This could be done in your office, workspace, studio, home office, rented space, or a clean outdoor location in New Orleans.
The location should support your brand without distracting from you.
3. I Guide the Posing
You do not have to know how to pose.
I’ll guide you through posture, expression, angles, hand placement, and small adjustments that make the images feel more natural.
The goal is polished but not stiff.
You should look professional, current, and approachable.
4. You Receive a Private Gallery
After the session, you receive a private online gallery where you can view, select, and download your images.
Final selected images are edited for light, color, exposure, and natural skin tones.
The final gallery is easy to use for your website, LinkedIn, social media, email signature, speaker bio, marketing materials, and business profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a headshot?
A headshot is usually one polished image focused on your face and professional profile.
A personal branding session gives you more variety, including lifestyle portraits, workspace images, detail photos, and content that can be used across your business.
Do I need a business to book this?
No. You can book a personal branding session as a professional, creative, speaker, job seeker, consultant, or public-facing person who needs a stronger image library.
Can we shoot at my office?
Yes. Office, workspace, studio, home office, rented space, or outdoor locations can all work depending on the look you want.
Do you help with posing?
Yes. I guide the session from start to finish so you are not left guessing what to do.
How many outfits should I bring?
That depends on your package. For most sessions, 2–3 strong looks are better than bringing too much.
Can I use the photos for my website?
Yes. Your images can be used for your website, social media, LinkedIn, marketing materials, and professional profiles.
Can video clips be added?
Yes. Short-form video clips can be added if you need content for Reels, Stories, website sections, or social media.
Is this the same as monthly content?
No. Personal branding is usually a one-time session. Monthly content is better if your business needs fresh photos and clips every month.
Build a More Useful Image Library
You do not need to look overly posed or fake to look professional.
A personal branding session gives you clean, current, useful images that support your business and make it easier to show up online.
Send your profession, location idea, and where you plan to use the images. I’ll recommend the best package and next steps.
