A branding session booked by coaches has a slightly different brief to the average session, even if the process looks similar on paper.
The images need to work harder for a specific purpose, whether that’s a particular platform, a particular audience, or a particular use case that a generic branding session wouldn’t necessarily account for. That means a slightly different conversation before the shoot, and sometimes a different selection of looks or setups on the day.
If you fall into this group, it’s worth saying so clearly when you enquire, so the session gets planned around the actual use case from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.

FAQs
A couple of quick answers.
Can you shoot at our office or studio space?
Both, and often in the same session. Many branding shoots mix a couple of studio setups with candid shots of a team actually working.
How is this different to a headshot?
A headshot is one image for one purpose. A branding session builds a whole visual identity: portraits, candids and detail shots that work across a website, socials and press together.

Booked a branding session after reading this, and it covered things no other photographer’s site bothered to mention.

Sharing this again, still the best guide around.
