I recently listened to an amazing podcast by Brooke Castillo on The Life Coach School Podcast. 

She talked all about how you get to be whoever you want to be despite your circumstance. We are stuck indoors, some of you may not be able to work, some of you may have limited customers, or may be contemplating closing your doors. But you can still show up however you want during this.

So how can you show up in your business? We are going to talk about four tips to getting beautiful pictures while you are quarantined. 

1. Find a great place to take pictures

This may not be the first place you think you should be taking pictures at. You'll want to find a location that has the best lighting and a simple background. If you don't have a place like this right now, find a way to rearrange some things so that you can create a space with these two characteristics.   

2. Dress casually, but not sloppy

Unless you get dressed 100% with makeup and hair done every single day you don't need to be dressed super professional for these pictures you are taking.

However, don't swing all the way to the other side and not feel like you have to put yourself together at all.

Find a balance between casual and professional. Real and authentic.

3. Show your work

I want you to focus on showing your work. This is what personal branding is all about and so it doesn't change much now that we're in quarantine. 

However, how you work, where you work, and how you get your work done may change and that's what I want you to show and capture. 

4. Show your personal life

I know that so many of you get nervous about showing the personal side of you and you just want to show up as the brand and the business but this is really great time for you to do a bit of a sneak peek or behind-the-scenes look into your life. 

This is where people are really going to connect with you because many people don't have the ability to connect with others except for through social media right now.

 

You may not even be taking pictures of yourself or posting regularly during quarantine. And I would like to encourage you to start to do that immediately. 

If you feel like you're being held back for any reason about how to take pictures go ahead use these tips or check out my DIY Branding Photography course, where I teach you how to take your own photos and will even edit them for you! 

All so you can focus on doing the work that matters to you!
