5 Props You Should Bring to Your Personal Brand Photoshoot
Your favorite coffee mug
…Or teacup, thermos, water bottle…and don’t forget the beverage! I have a Keurig for coffee and a kettle for hot water at my studio. If you’re a tea drinker make sure you bring your favorite tea bag. Drink La Croix all day? Bring your go-to flavor.
The point is, we all love to have a beverage and/or snack at our desk and this adds some fun personality to your personal branding photos.
3. Your planner or favorite notebook
…And your favorite pen or pencil too! 9 times out of 10 I find that small business owners like to scribble on physical paper, but every once in a while I have someone say they don’t. If you fall into the only electronic notes category skip this one.
5. Something fun from your desk that shows your personality
Have a plant that you love? Bring it. A photo of your kids or family? Perfect. A stack of books? A pencil holder? You name it. The goal is to show a little bit of the personality behind your brand!
2. Your electronics
I’m guessing that in this day and age you use a laptop and/or phone quite a bit to run your business, but if you’re still using a typewriter go ahead and bring that instead ;)
4. Tools of the trade
Are you a photographer? Bring your camera. A designer? Bring some Pantone chips. A health professional? Your stethoscope. A real estate agent?A lockbox or sign. When in doubt, bring a book that has helped you grow in your craft.
