When it comes to personal branding, a picture is worth a thousand words, and when your business revolves around making dogs look their best, those pictures need to look as amazing as your freshly groomed clients. Here’s a little the behind-the-scenes journey of a Annelise Bliss PDX Branding Photography photoshoot with a talented dog groomer, capturing the heart, soul, and fur of her vibrant small business.

It’s summer and as a small business owner, you want to be able to go on vacation without having to worry about leaving your business IG account inactive or having to create content while trying to relax. But that is easier said than done. Often times small business owners create content on the fly or day of. It can difficult to juggle taking photos and running your day to day business not to mention getting photos of yourself in-action or behind the scenes.

When you have a personal branding session you not only get “content for days” but a full library of images that can actually serve your business for months!

Preparation is key to feeling confident, relaxed and organized. Avoiding these common mistakes can improve the look of your photos and make your brand photoshoot more successful.

As a small business owner, I know that it can be scary to invest money in your business especially when you’re first getting started. You may wonder if personal branding photography is worth the investment or if you can just DIY it. Here are a few ways that investing in personal branding photography can actually boost your business and give you a return on your investment, aka ROI.
