Lets talk PROPS! During your personal brand photoshoot for your business, you'll want to incorporate a wide variety of props in order to get a variety of images to use throughout your business social & marketing. It’s important that the props that you choose for your personal brand photoshoot make sense for your business and that the props help convey the message/tell the story you want to tell your audience.

The props you choose should do at least one of the following:

✨Showcase what you do in your business & what you sell

✨Communicate your unique brand story & brand message

✨Share your personality or share bits of your personal life your audience would be interested in seeing

Remember, no two brands are the same. As a personal branding photographer & marketing strategist, I wanted to share my TOP 5 stand out prop ideas that you can use for inspiration when planning your next personal branding photoshoot to grow your business!

1. Tools of Your Trade

Including tools of your trade in your branding photos will show your audience a behind the scenes look at your process. This will also show your potential clients what they can expect and experience while working with you. Those types are images are great for building that know, like & trust factor for your business.

For example: tools of your trade for a hairstylist would be scissors, foil, shampoo, curling iron, ect.

2. Branded Products

Showcase YOUR BUSINESS! Grab your business cards & personalized products to showcase your business in a unique way!

Personalized / branded product examples:

✨Business cards

✨Cups with your company name

✨T-shirts & sweatshirts with your company name

✨ Referral cards + client thank you notes

✨ Personalized signed

✨ Anything with your logo or business name on it!

3. Books

Sharing the books you read is a great way to share your values and brand message with your audience. The books can relate to your industry, books that you audience can connect too (start a conversation with your followers on social with these photos) or showcase books you've written!

4. Confetti

Who doesn't love confetti? Confetti can be strategically used for launches, business milestone, celebrations & exciting announcements coming up in your business!

Additional props you could use for celebration photos besides confetti: balloons, champagne or streamers!
