3 Reasons to Book Your Brand Photography Session in Q1

Wondering when the best time to book a brand session is? Well, keep reading and see if I can shed some light on the matter.

Every year, I have business owners tell me, “I really should have booked this months ago.” They had big plans to update their branding photos, but between client work, life, and everything else, they kept pushing it off.

And by the time they finally got around to it, they had already missed months of showing up confidently in their business.

If you’ve been meaning to refresh your brand photos but keep telling yourself you’ll get to it “soon,” let’s make sure that soon doesn’t turn into half the year gone. Here are three solid reasons why

Q1 is the best time to book a brand session


1️⃣ Set the Tone for the Year

New year, fresh goals, big plans. Whether you’re launching something new, updating your website, or simply showing up more consistently online, your brand photos should reflect where you are now—not where you were two years ago.

Starting the year with updated, professional photos means you’ll have consistent, high-quality visuals ready to go for:
✅ Your website refresh
✅ Social media content
✅ Marketing materials and campaigns
✅ Speaking engagements, podcast features, and more

Instead of using outdated photos (or skipping showing up altogether), set the tone for the year by ensuring your visuals match your goals.


2️⃣ Save Yourself from Last-Minute Stress

You know that feeling when you suddenly need a professional headshot for a speaking gig, an article feature, or a website update—and you don’t have one? Cue the frantic search through old files or the rushed iPhone selfie attempt.

Booking your branding session in Q1 means you’ll already have a library of fresh, high-quality photos ready for any opportunity that comes your way. No scrambling, no stress—just effortless marketing and confidence in how you present yourself online.


3️⃣ Avoid the Mid-Year Rush

As the year goes on, schedules fill up fast. Between business commitments, vacations, and seasonal rushes, finding the right time to book a branding session can get tricky.

Q1 gives you more flexibility to choose a date that works for you, without competing with peak-season demand. Plus, by tackling your branding photos early in the year, you’ll free yourself up to focus on growing your business without this task lingering in the back of your mind.


Ready to Start the Year Strong?

If brand photos are on your 2025 to-do list, now is the time to check it off before another six months slip by. A fresh, strategic set of brand images will make it easier to market yourself, show up consistently, and confidently represent your business all year long.
