What You Can Accomplish in a Two-Hour Nashville Brand Photography Session

Many business owners who haven’t had professional brand photos done before wonder what happens during a session. A typical two hour Nashville brand photography session covers a lot of ground and many are surprised at all we can accomplish in a short window of time. We capture so much more than headshots. We focus on storylines and interactive photos that represent you and your brand.  

My brand photography sessions are designed to give you a strategic collection of images that tell the story of your business, showcase your personality, and give you ample content to use across your website, socials, and marketing.

What Happens During a Two-Hour Brand Photography Session?

I tell all my Nashville business owners to bring along a variety of outfits to choose from. We’ll typically work through 3–4 outfit changes, with each look serving a different purpose. Rather than simply changing clothes to create variety, I plan your session as if we’re telling a series of stories. Each outfit becomes its own storyline, allowing us to photograph a different part of your business, personality, or client experience. This gives your final gallery much more variety and intention. I typically suggest bringing along a couple professional outfits and one or two more casual outfits. 

We might use one polished, more formal outfit to communicate your expertise and professionalism. Then the next might feel more relaxed in order to showcase your personality and your friendly, warm presence. Another outfit will be used to show you in action working, whether that’s you creating, consulting, coaching, interacting with a client. This storytelling approach creates natural variety throughout your gallery while still keeping everything cohesive. You’re not just getting the same poses in different outfits. Instead, you’re getting a collection of images that show different sides of you and your business.

Get All the Photos You Need With a Nashville Brand Photography Session

Each two hour session provides 75+ final images!  During those two hours, we’ll capture all the photos you need, including different traditional headshots, photos of you working, photos of you with a client, photos of you that capture your why, and images that show off your personality. 

These photos will also include different angles, intentional negative space which is perfect for website headers and text overlays, close-ups that work beautifully for social media, and more polished portraits that can be used throughout your website and marketing materials. This not only gives you the images you might not have even realized you needed, but it also makes it easier to consistently show up online. The goal is to give you branding photos that can be used in multiple ways, across multiple platforms.

Two Hours Can Go a Long Way

A two-hour session might sound short. However, when you have a strategy behind it, a lot can be accomplished. With 3–4 intentional outfits, multiple storylines, guided direction, and a plan for how you’ll use your images, we can create a versatile content library that gives you fresh material for one to two quarters of marketing. That’s why strategic brand photography is so valuable. Your final gallery will support your business, communicate your expertise, build trust with potential clients, showcase your personality, and help you show up consistently.

If you’re a Nashville or Franklin, TN business owner who needs fresh brand photos, a two-hour branding session will give all the images you need. I’ll help you plan your entire Nashville branding session around your business, your goals, and the content you actually need. That way you can walk away with images that work hard for you long after the session is over.
