I am so excited to finally be sharing one of my favorite recent branding sessions! If you don’t already know, you will soon see how gorgeous the new Salon Blume in Cornelius is! Their space is beautiful and inviting, but it’s the stylists who work there that make it incredible. I had the best time doing fun headshots and branding photography in Cornelius for them!!

Fun Professional Headshot and Branding Photography in Cornelius

Every small business should have professional headshots for each member of their team. It doesn’t just reflect that individual, but the brand as well. I started this session doing just that. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and down to earth. As you can see (as you scroll throughout this entire blog) we laughed A LOT. These are my kind of people! No one took themselves too seriously. Naturally, some may have felt more comfortable in front of the camera than others, but being around each other made it better for those who didn’t. It was obvious that they loved spending time together!

Headshot and Branding Photography Should Reflect You

Even though many of the shots I got for each person are somewhat similar, they are still each unique. After getting a few different initial “professional” looking headshots for everyone we moved on to the fun stuff. Getting them all together made it so fun because they couldn’t help but laugh! Someone also had the idea of doing a hairspray war, which was really fun to capture. Side note on this: we were really careful to spray away from people’s faces and up so that no one got any hairspray in the eye, nose, mouth, etc. I couldn’t help but laugh as I captured those moments!

Branding Photography Includes the Space As Well

It’s important for a small business, especially one that has a store front, to have images that show off their beautiful space. I just loved the look of Salon Blume and was excited to capture not only the people, but the gorgeous area they work in. From the look of the marble, swirled floors to the comfortable looking chairs, to the cleanliness of the entire space it’s all important. I loved capturing the really pretty details they added to the salon as well as the products they use when styling their clients. Just look at how inviting, welcoming, comfortable, modern, and just beautiful the space looks in these images!

Fun Headshots and Branding Photography in Cornelius

Lastly, after getting images of the salon we had a little bit of extra time. I decided to use some of my more creative and fun photography tools to play around with additional headshots. I used different wands in front of my lenses to create in-camera effects that helped to frame the stylists and give them a really different type of headshot. Each stylist had different wands that I used to give each person their own unique images. For these images I used Lensbaby Omni Wands. I love this brand and I think I have every omni wand they offer so they effects are endless.

Creative Headshots Will Set You Apart

Next, I used my Lensbaby Edge 35 to create additional creative headshots. You can see that the Edge has a slice of focus and then a lot of blur. I, personally, love the effect. The slice of focus remained on their eyes and let the rest fade out. I truly believe that headshots should reflect YOU and having more options are only better. Having different and creative headshots and branding images will also set you apart from other people in your field.
