You have built the business, created the name, gained repeat clients, but you are struggling to establish the brand most unique to who you are. Marketing can become such a difficult aspect of business to truly grasp and succeed in. This is where hiring a professional photographer comes into play, today I am going to talk about the importance of why you should schedule professional portraits for your business. 

Whether you are a trainer, the owner of a facility, a fellow photographer or anything in between, creating an entire gallery worth of professional portraits will offer a wide range of benefits to the brand you have worked so hard to create. Having low quality portraits representing you and your business could misrepresent what you can do for your clients.

Constant Content

I am sure you have heard this a million times, but everything is content when it comes to maintaining your social profiles. There is a large  benefit to having professional branding images for social media use, not just websites since most business owners keep on top of SM but don’t necessarily maintain their website. Behind the scenes content or portraits of you working at your craft are great ways to draw your audience in through photography.

Clean and Cohesive 

When you are building your Equine or Pet Business, you will more than likely create a website and social accounts for your potential clients to find you on. Hiring a photographer to create a full gallery of portraits will ensure that your website has the same aesthetic for each page. Have you ever visited a website with different editing styles on each page versus a website that clearly worked with the same photographer throughout their entire branding experience? Represent yourself and what you can provide to the fullest extent by finding the best photographer for you and your brand.

Professional Portraits vs. Self Made 

Even if you have a background in photography, hiring a professional photographer with a shooting style that speaks to you will provide content that best represents your business. FIrst impressions are key in running a business, if you have poorly posed or poorly edited portraits representing your brand, clients are more likely to overlook you. However, if you have professionally posed and edited portraits, clients are going to stop scrolling and see what you have to say.

It Makes You Relatable 

Have you ever been scrolling through websites searching for a potential trainer to work with and you can’t find a single photo of them? Even worse, you find a blurry cell phone photo of the trainer but there isn’t even an animal in the photo with them. I would keep scrolling too. Hiring a photographer to create portraits for your business means headshots, candids of you working, and details within your business. Having photography content built around your business allows you to relate with potential clients and catch their attention immediately. 

It Builds Professional Friendships

Lastly, creating a business can be daunting and oftentimes overwhelming in the beginning. Working with a professional photographer could lead to a new friendship within your industry. Having someone in your corner who has been through the same process makes the journey less stressful and a bit more exciting. 
I hope these quick reasons why hiring a professional photographer to create branding content for your business have been helpful. Be sure when you begin the search for the right photographer, that you choose someone with a photography style you believe will best represent you and your business.
