I just used for the first time my new gray backdrop during a headshots session in my studio! I was a little skeptical at first as I love using clear backdrops but the pictures turned out amazing. It gives such a pop to your headshots and help focusing and you and your personality without any distraction.

ROMY GOLDMAN’S HEADSHOTS SESSION WITH MY NEW GRAY BACKDROP
Romy Goldman was the first person to test my new gray backdrop for in studio headshots. She is a realtor who found me through Google and needed new pictures for their website but also for social media profit pictures.
And what is so funny is that she almost lives around the corner from me! I walk by her house every day while bringing my kids to school.
Romy brought 2 outfits for her headshots session which was a great idea as it is not easy to know in advance what would look the best while staying true to your personality.

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.
