What to expect from a Columbus Branding Photo Session with Claudine Kosier

If you’ve never done a personal branding session before, it can feel like a big question mark.

What do you wear? How do you prep? What’s this going to feel like?

Deep breath—because I’ve got you.

Here’s the thing: this isn’t just about getting a headshot for LinkedIn. It’s about creating intentional, powerful imagery that speaks for you when you’re not in the room. That’s the heart of personal branding photography in Columbus, Ohio—and why I love it so much.

When we plan your session, we don’t start with a backdrop or a Pinterest pose. We start with you. Who you are. What you do. And most importantly—how you want people to feel when they come across your brand.

Then, we build a custom session around your vibe. From the wardrobe to the locations to the subtle (and not-so-subtle) moments we capture—it’s all designed to feel like you, not some polished version of someone you’re “supposed” to be.

So… what to expect from branding photos? Here’s the lowdown:

You can expect it to feel relaxed, collaborative, and even (dare I say it?) fun. I’ll walk you through wardrobe options that align with your brand colors and overall aesthetic. We’ll choose locations around Columbus or Dublin that make sense for your energy—whether that’s a cozy studio, modern workspace, or your favorite coffee shop.

And don’t worry about how to pose. I guide you every step of the way with movement and natural direction so nothing feels stiff or awkward. Think of it as a conversation with a camera in the room—one that’s been curated to highlight your strengths and connect with your dream clients.

Speaking of which—professional brand photography is one of the smartest ways to actually start attracting those dream clients. It builds trust, elevates your presence, and sets you apart in a crowded digital space.

Whether you’re in need of a standout headshot, a full image library for your website and social media, or something that captures the full essence of your work and personality—this experience is designed to deliver all of that and more.

And no, you don’t need to be a model.

I’ve worked with CEOs, creatives, therapists, dog lovers, and founders who all came in a little unsure (or honestly, a little camera-shy) and left feeling seen, confident, and ready to show up in their business with clarity and pride.

Actually, I recently worked with a local therapist who told me she had never felt comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of her session, she looked at the back of my camera and said, “This feels like the first time I’ve seen my business through my own eyes.” I still get goosebumps thinking about that moment. That kind of shift? That’s exactly what I’m here for!

Whether you're looking for a true headshot experience in Columbus or a full-on rebrand with storytelling visuals, I’m here to help you shine.

I only take on a limited number of branding sessions each month to keep things super intentional and personalized. If you're ready to level up how you're seen (and felt), let’s chat about what we can create together.

Because you? You’ve already got the brand.

Now let’s show it off in a way that feels so you—with help from your go-to Dublin, Ohio branding photographer.
