Sometime back in November, I received a request for a birthday/personal branding session. The inquiry read, “I want my final photos to be joyful, traditional, and I want the people looking at the photos able to know who I am and what I have to offer right away.” The surprise? It came from my nine year old daughter! Not long after, we celebrated her turning double digits with her favorite drink, a vanilla chai latte, and a branding shoot.
EMBRACING PERSONALITY and STYLE
She wanted us to create branding portraits that aimed to capture her joyful personality and artistic interests. From her favorite drink to her dream aspirations, every element was carefully chosen to reflect who she is at this age. From choosing the perfect outfit to finding some fun accessories, every detail was thoughtfully crafted to enhance her natural beauty and help her feel confident and creative.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
She had brainstormed several options before reaching out to me. She ultimately chose one of her favorite coffee shops. Together, we created a storytelling set, complete with artwork, supplies, and a bohemian color palette. The location not only made her feel creative but also provided a captivating backdrop for the photographs.
STORYTELLING THROUGH PROPS
Props play a significant role in capturing the essence of a brand. We incorporated items that showcased her passions, such as markers, notebooks, and completed projects. These props added depth to the photographs and helped to visually narrate her story, making the branding shoot a truly authentic experience.
EMPHASIZING CONFIDENCE
The branding shoot provided an opportunity for us to work together, create new memories, and capture beautiful images. It was also about encouraging her creativity, embracing her unique talents, and celebrating a milestone. Through the images, we aimed to inspire confidence and foster creativity, encouraging her and those who view the photos to set goals and make them a reality.
