Are Your Brand Photos Telling the Right Story?
Great personal branding photos are so much more than professional headshots – they tell the story of you.
Are your photos telling the right story though?
To decide whether your photos are a true reflection of who you are, ask yourself the below three questions.
Ask yourself
why?
Question:
People want to know who they are doing business with, which is why your photos should capture your personality.
Do your photos showcase your personality?
why?
Question:
If you had to put all your personal branding photos together, would they tell a story? If almost all your photos look like they were shot against a backdrop in a studio, they aren’t telling the story of you and your brand.

The day was fun and I could talk to her openly about how i was feeling
"Joanne does take great pride in her work, and I did feel that I could talk to her openly. She was amazing at making the entire day feel very relaxed and we had a lot of laughs. She was great at redirecting me and moving things around. I loved making Joanne's job even harder by including my horse Billie as a giant prop, and of course, he didn't play ball, but again all in a day's work for Joanne!.

"When I saw Jo post some of her photos to her Joanne McCloy Photography Facebook page, I knew I had to get in touch.
Looking to update my profile photos, her images were natural looking which is exactly what I wanted and she certainly captured me, crazy facial expressions and all! 🤣
Jo made me feel at ease throughout, understood exactly what I was after and was very professional with great communication."
Capturing me naturally!

“I’m a bundle of contradictions. On the one hand, I’m outspoken, unfiltered and unapologetically me. On the other, I’m an introvert deluxe who shy away from the camera. In truth, one of my greatest challenges in the modern era of technology and ‘being the brand’ has been photos and more specifically, finding a photographer who understands me, who holds space for my immense capacity for joy and allows me to play without looking like a complete infant when it comes to professional photos. Turns out, Joanne is THAT photographer.
From the moment I arrived, she was completely present with me. Taking the time to understand where I’m at in my personal and professional journey, what I desired to get out of our time together, and more importantly, the energy I desired to convey.
She nailed it!
As I walked away from our shoot I was filled with love, joy and I was still laughing.
Normally after a shoot, I find it hard to pick ten I can confidently use. This time around I wasn’t able to find ten that I DIDN’T love. Out of more than a hundred!
I look forward to many more photoshoots with Joanne for both business and personal, capturing moments of the true essence of me.”
