Jeremy's Branding Session

Prep Guide & Wardrobe Options

What to Expect

We'll capture a mix of natural, professional portraits that reflect both your approachable personality and your expertise. Think of it as a blend of headshots and lifestyle branding: confident, grounded, and authentic.

We'll photograph one outfit (the one you select from your top picks below) and use a few different setups and angles to give you variety.

You'll receive five fully edited images to use for your website, social media, or marketing. I'll also be featuring a few of them in my upcoming blog post and portfolio.

Wardrobe Tips

Stick to clean, tailored fits that make you feel confident but not restricted.
Avoid busy patterns. Solid colors and subtle textures photograph best.
Steam or press your outfit before the shoot so everything looks polished.
Neutral tones or a touch of your brand color (like maroon) keep things cohesive.

Your Outfit Options

Review these three looks and choose the one that feels most authentic to you. We’ll photograph one outfit.

Option 1: Signature Contrast

Bold & Polished

Best for: Website banners, marketing materials, and headshots

Color palette: Cream, maroon, charcoal

Outfit Pieces

Cream or off-white dress shirt
Deep maroon blazer or structured pullover
Charcoal pants or dark slacks
Brown leather shoes and belt
Optional: dark watch or maroon pocket square

Why It Works

This outfit creates visual contrast and dimension: clean, confident, and distinctly professional. The cream top brightens skin tone, while the maroon layer ties directly into your brand palette.

Option 2: Boardroom Casual

Warm & Approachable

Best for: Blog posts, social content, and casual web use

Color palette: White, maroon, charcoal

Outfit Pieces

Crisp white button-down
Maroon tie
Slim dark jeans or chinos
Brown belt and loafers
Optional: subtle maroon accent

Why It Works

Relaxed but elevated—great for personal brand photos that show expertise without being overly formal.

Option 3: Everyday Advisor

Relaxed & Relatable

Best for: Social media, behind-the-scenes features, or casual brand storytelling

Color palette: Cream, gray, maroon accent

Outfit Pieces

Cream or light neutral shirt with rolled-up sleeves
Optional vest or pullover in maroon or brown
Gray or neutral-toned pants
Casual brown dress shoes

Why It Works

Comfortable and authentic—easygoing while still maintaining polish. It shows the side clients connect with most.

Session Prep

Fresh grooming: hair trimmed, beard shaped (if applicable), nails clean, skin moisturized.
Rest & hydrate: it makes a real difference in how you look and feel.
Declutter your office: remove distractions and tidy visible surfaces.
Charge devices: laptop, phone, or tablet if you want them in photos.
Final wardrobe check: steam or iron your chosen outfit the night before.

The Day Of

We’ll start by getting you comfortable. I’ll guide you through everything—poses, posture, and small cues—so nothing feels stiff or staged.

By the end, you’ll have images that represent you and your brand with confidence and authenticity.

After the Session

You’ll receive a small gallery to select your five finals. I’ll edit and deliver them optimized for print, web, and social.

Use them anywhere: LinkedIn, marketing materials, your website, or personal PR.
