Headshots vs. Personal Branding Photos

What’s the Difference?

When updating your professional image, it’s important to know the difference between a classic headshot and a full personal branding session.

Headshots:

• Typically cropped shoulders-up

• Clean background (studio or natural light)

• Best for LinkedIn, resumes, employee directories

Branding Photos:

• Wider variety of poses and angles

• Includes environment, props, or tools of your trade

• Great for websites, Instagram, coaching or speaking gigs

A headshot shows who you are. A branding session tells your story.

Consider booking both to build a well-rounded professional image across all platforms.
