The Sunday before the International Women’s Day, I had the chance to photograph women headshots mini sessions in Atlanta for 2 hours. The event was hosted by The Point Atlanta and organized by Urban Enterprises. We were so lucky to have a perfect weather!

What are Headshots Minis?

Headshot mini sessions are created following the same process as Family Mini Sessions. In a nutshell, it is a piece of a regular headshot session cake. A shorter amount of time, a limited number of pictures, at a given location and time for a reduced price.

I often offer those kind of sessions during corporate conferences or events. I am also organizing some twice a year in my Laure Photography Atlanta Buckhead studio. Join my email list to be the first to know when they take place, I promise I won’t spam you!

Here are a few of the beautiful women I met during my International Women’s Day Headshots mini sessions in Atlanta:

I met incredible women during those headshots

I met amazing women that day. For some of them it was their first ever headshots session, for others it was to update their current pictures following a new haircut, change of style or just for fun! Some were working in the corporate world, others were influencers or entrepreneurs. What they all had in common is they all new the importance of up to date headshots (see my specific blog on why you need professional headshots).

I had a wonderful time talking to those women and families. They were happy about getting this opportunity and one of them even got emotional when seeing how beautiful she looked just by catching a glimpse of herself from the back of my camera. 

This is why I love my job. I was able, in a short amount of time to bring to all these women something at the same time useful, beautiful and which boosted their confidence! It is so rewarding.

People often ask me what are the differences between headshots and branding pictures. So let’s dedicate a full blog to it!

Headshots and branding photo sessions are very different, in terms of preparation, content, duration and price! They have one common thing tough. Headshots are included in a personal branding session but your personal brand session will include so much more than that.

You are going to get a lot lot of information here under but don’t worry, I have resources to help you through both your headshots and branding journeys!

HEADSHOTS PICTURES

I usually deliver 3 to 5 high resolution edited images after a headshots session. The pictures will mostly be taken from the waist up. You can select two outfits, combine standing and sitting poses, in one location. I will dedicate another blog to the different headshot backgrounds options!

BRANDING OR PERSONAL BRANDING PICTURES ARE VERY DIFFERENT

A personal branding session is 100% customized to your needs. Each element, such as the outfits you will wear, the locations we will select and your brand colors, will be carefully studied. They will help showcase the uniqueness of your brand and personality.

It will include headshots, your work environment, your business vibe, some lifestyle shots, pictures showing your personality, your creative process, details… and so MUCH more!

As your session is unique, planning is crucial. It helps me understand what you need, your business, your brand, your goals and the messages you want to share. I will also get a better view on how you will use the images, what makes you unique, who your ideal client is.

On the session day, my goal is to understand your brand so well that I can articulate everything as if it was my own.

Personal Brand session typically last half a day or a full day and include different outfits and locations.

It also includes a commercial right to the images. It means that you can use all the high and web resolution edited images for any business communication without restriction.
