I often get asked what kind of props should I bring to my photo session. The answer to that is what makes a personal branding session well personal.

Here are my top 5 recommendations:

#1 Tools of the trade

What are the things that you just can not do your job without? It could be a calculator, a journal, your laptop, or art supplies. Whatever you need or use regularly is something that I often include in my client's session.

#2 Favourite accessories

We all have something we don't leave the house without. In my case it's sunglasses but I know for some of my clients it's a killer pair of shoes or jewelry that brings them luck or a favourite hat! Whatever is a part of your everyday ensemble is always good to bring because then people will comment on it when they meet you in person!

#3 Models/Other people

I'm not talking about actual models but they could be clients or a good friend who could pose as a client. When you work with people it's wonderful to show what it's like to work with you.
