  • Episode 24: Are your photos “On-Brand”?
    What sets a personal brand photographer apart from a general photographer who does portraits, and weddings and senior photos and family photos?
    Building a brand
    Often we’re trying to tell a story - or maybe many possible stories, in one image.
    We want to create some sort of emotional connection with the viewer.
    And we want the images to “feel” right. To represent your brand image.
    One of the questions I ask you in the planning process is what do you want prospective clients to feel when they think of your brand?
    So then as we’re crafting the plan for your photo shoot, we’re taking your brand vision, your ideal client’s emotions, and the “vibe” you want to give off into consideration when we work out the rough plan.
    Why I rented an Escalade for a recent photo shoot
    Why for those things that aren’t specifically related to your business, we need to be consistent.
    So are your photos on Brand?
    Do they evoke the right emotions in your ideal client?
    Do they align with your brand message?
    Are they consistent with who you want to be?

  • Episode 22 - Why Personal Branding is Your Secret Weapon
    Why do people make purchasing decisions? Emotions.
    Because they think it will make them happy.
    That they’ll get more value out of the thing or service they bought than what they spent.
    Do most people connect on a deeper level to people, or to business entities?
    If you can build your brand to show who you are as a person, including what you love, what drives you nuts, the things you do and the places you go, all centered around an area of skill and expertise, people really start to LIKE YOU.
    When they go to make a purchasing decision or an investment in the area you serve - you are likely their first choice.
    This also works for your employees, or team members if you are an employee that leads others.
    You can even amplify this effect by helping your employees build their personal brands.

  • Episode 20 - What kind of relationship marketing do you use?
    What do you think of when you hear the work “Marketing’?
    I don’t consider myself an expert in relationship marketing. I consider my marketing the “I know a guy” strategy.
    It took me a long time to get the “Social” part of social media. I was one that made fun of twitter because in my mind nobody wants to know you’re at starbucks getting a coffee.
    What do people naturally ask when you first meet? “So, What do you do?”

    So when people in my network are talking to someone I don't know, and the idea of photos come up, what do they often say?
    I Know a guy…..
    Relationship marketing. I’m not perfect at it. But it’s my primary marketing plan. It helped me build my career, and it’s how I’m building my business.
