Build Confidence with Branding Photography: A Client’s Perspective

Have you ever needed to provide someone with a professional headshot and after scrolling through your files come up empty-handed or underwhelmed with your options? If so, it might be time to update your headshots and branding photography.

From “Ugh, I have to find a headshot.” to “I feel good about my options.” – That’s how today’s featured branding client referred to her Branding Photography Session at Show Your Spark. 

At Show Your Spark, a branding session is an opportunity to invest in yourself and your business with refreshed professional images for your website and social media platforms. When your days are full running your business and serving your clients, it might have been a while since you last pressed pause to be on the receiving end of a client-centered experience. After time in our studio, you will feel refreshed, empowered, and ready to share your passions with the world. 

But you don’t have to take our word for it! Listen to the experiences of a recent Branding Client, in her own words.

“Providing Tools to Help People Make Things”

“I’m a partner at Boldstart Ventures, where we invest in technical founders as early as the very beginnings of their companies! Most of what I invest in is developer tooling. To get here, I went to engineering school, spent a long time in product management, and then started a devtools company, Dark, which made a programming language. I really love providing tools to help people make things. I’ve done that through writing, speaking, teaching, giving personal grants, and building tools. Now I get to do so as a professional investor.

“Helping Provide Founders with Options and Leverage”

As an early-stage investor, you get to do far more than just provide capital. While it’s always the founder’s business, I’m actively engaged as a board member. At the end of the day, that means helping provide founders with as many options and as much leverage as possible. It could be making an introduction to the right executive candidate at the right time, helping find an early design partner for the product, or just talking through a tough situation.

Branding Photography: From “Ugh” to Confident

I always hate the feeling of “Ugh, I have to find a headshot” when a conference or other event asks for one. It’s so much nicer to feel good about what you’re sending over. Heading into the photography session, I wanted to make sure I had a lot of options depending on the type of event I was doing.

I think investing in professional photos is really underrated! It’s so nice to have a set of photos for your website, press, etc. It’s important to work with someone who makes you comfortable because your expressions come through so much in the photos. I loved working with Lindsay and her team!

“The Same, Just Happier.”

I usually think of myself as liking candid photography! I was surprised by how much I loved working with the gray backdrop. One of those photos ended up being my profile picture across all social media platforms.

Having had professional photos taken eight years ago, I expected to look older. But everyone I’ve shown has said, “You look exactly the same, just happier!” What a nice surprise.”
