Are you a business owner, creative or coach and wondering what kind of brand photos you need as an entrepreneur?
Your brand photos aren’t just pictures—they’re your first impression, your marketing fuel, and your secret weapon for showing up with confidence online. But if you’re only relying on the classic headshot, you’re leaving so much potential on the table.
Let’s break down 11 must-have brand photos that every entrepreneur needs to look polished, professional, and totally in their element.
Yes, you need the traditional headshot—but forget the stiff, corporate vibe. We’re talking authentic, confident, and on-brand. This is the image that goes everywhere: your website, LinkedIn, social media, and press features.
This is you doing your thing—whether that’s leading a meeting, designing, coaching, or working on your laptop. These shots instantly communicate what you do and make your brand feel relatable.
People love seeing what goes on before the finished product. Whether it’s setting up a photoshoot, sketching ideas, or prepping orders, these images build trust and curiosity.
A relaxed, lifestyle-inspired shot of you with coffee (or your drink of choice) makes your brand feel approachable and inviting. These work well for social media when you want to connect with your audience.
Close-ups of your hands writing, typing, styling, or creating. These add variety to your content and make great backgrounds for graphics and quotes.
Show your fun side! Laughing, dancing, celebrating—these images bring out your brand’s energy and help people feel connected to you.
A power suit, a cozy sweater, a statement jacket—whatever makes you feel like a boss. These photos showcase your signature style and add a layer of personal branding beyond just colors and logos.
Feature moments with happy clients, speaking on stage, or engaging with your community. These images add instant credibility and tell the story of your impact.
A welcoming, open-body language pose that invites people in—perfect for sales pages, service launches, and email opt-ins.
Brand photos shouldn’t feel outdated. Having images that match different seasons (summer vibes, cozy fall aesthetics, fresh spring energy) keeps your marketing relevant all year long.
Curate a flat lay with your favorite tools—planner, coffee, laptop, branded items—to add visual consistency to your feed and website.
Personal brand photos aren’t just for looking good. They create trust, tell your story, and make showing up online effortless.
