So what types of photographs do you actually need for your business? What will a benefit you more - a headshot or a full branding shoot?

Simple answer - the more photographs you have, the more content you have; the easier it is to show your customers what you do, your story and your values. But there’s pro’s and con’s to both a headshot shoot and a full personal branding shoot, and they benefit your business in different ways.
What’s the difference between a headshot shoot and a personal branding shoot?
A headshot shoot (mini brand shoot) is a short 30-minute shoot, from which you get five relaxed headshot images. These normally take place outdoors in Liverpool.
Personal branding shoots are 2-hour shoots which can take place whenever and wherever suit your business. We take a look into your brand, values and customers to create images which are as varied and as useful for your business as possible. The range of images would include relaxed headshots, product shots, action shots, details and more.
So which is better for you?
Headshot shoots
Your headshot is your first chance to say hello to your customers, it's the bare minimum of photographs that you need for your business.
Mini brand shoots are great when you know you need a photo of you, but haven’t really started your business yet, or focused in on what your brand and values are.
At just £90 mini brand shoots are great when you are on a tight budget.
They are quick shoots so great if you have a busy schedule.
They are great if you’ve had a personal branding shoot before but want an updated headshot - maybe you’ve changed your hair or want a headshot taken in a different season than your full shoot.
