The amount of time dedicated to preparation and planning, duration and styling of your session and the intended use of final images is what differs these two services. A corporate headshot is usually one or a few photos of your face, cropped at the mid chest that may or may not reveal many specifics about you or your line of work. A headshot session is approximately 30 minutes in duration and includes 2 backdrop changes and 2 wardrobe changes.

Personal branding sessions last 1-3 hours on average and are a full customized service with a brand strategy session, professional hair and makeup, styling appointment, multiple wardrobe changes and a photo reveal session. It can be in studio or on location. The aim is to tell the story of your brand, show your process potentially, communicate greater context about your business, who you are and why you do what you do. It takes into considerations elements such as your brand colors, logo, locations, styling and props, target audience, values, inspirations etc.

Of course! The level of attention and quality of work does not change, only the amount of time we spend together and level of pre-session planning will be less. A headshot session is likely the best option for you. Let us know what you are looking for and we will make best recommendations.
