Guess what? I’m going to get into some real talk today.
The hardest part of the branding photo process is not actually taking the images. It’s not even choosing the right outfit or pose, or finding a photographer who understands your story. It’s posting the images. You may think, “No way, Brittany. I have no problem pushing those images through to all my channels! It takes one click!” You may think there’s nothing to it, but there is a level of vulnerability that lies within showing yourself to the world. You have to really put yourself out there, and show people who you are, what you’re about, and why it matters. That’s a tall order, and what I’ve found is…it feels vain.
I understand, it’s scary. Maybe you’ve judged people for posting selfie after selfie, or how often others share about their lives. And now, you’re preparing to put yourself out there, wondering if they’ll say, ‘Who do you think you are?’. You may not believe it, but this is the negative self-talk I hear from people considering having their own photos taken.
You may be thinking about how images may push your business to the next level, and show off the products or service that you offer. But, you’re holding back, because it’s SCARY to be thrust in front of the internet, for everyone’s opinions. You’re worried because of their opinions. Guess what: THOSE PEOPLE AREN’T PAYIN’ YOUR BILLS! Let’s be real, they’re not paying for your groceries, your electricity, or that cool toy your little one wants for their birthday. And most of them don’t even know YOU. The real you, the one hustling late at night and early in the morning to build your business. And lastly, all those opinions you perceive? They may not exist! They may just be the way your projections are holding you back from all those dreams. In five years, if you still haven’t put yourself out there and taken risks, will you have regrets?
I’ve been where you are, and I know it’s easier to hide behind excuses. That’s why I am passionate about helping others get over this rut. It’s NOT selfish to pursue your dreams. You’re not vain for having gorgeous branding photos. You’re brave!
