When a potential client is choosing a financial planner, they’re not just looking at services, they’re looking for people they trust.
That’s why having professional, approachable, and consistent images of your team matters more than ever.
I recently worked with Monarch Financial Planning on a branding session in Durham, and it was the perfect example of how a well-planned shoot can give a team a full library of images to use across their entire business.
One of the biggest goals for this session was to create a wide range of images they could use in different ways.
During our time together, we captured:
• Individual headshots for each team member
• Group photos of the full team
• On-location portraits in Durham
• Working, “in-action” images in a nearby conference room
This kind of variety is key because your business doesn’t just need one photo. You need images for your website, LinkedIn, marketing materials, presentations, and more.
Since their name is Monarch Financial Planning, we incorporated a butterfly mural in Durham as part of their session.
It was such a fun and intentional way to tie in their brand while still keeping the overall look professional and polished.
We planned everything ahead of time from location to wardrobe – so that on the day of the shoot, the team could show up and feel confident knowing exactly what to expect.
Ready to Update Your Team’s Photos?
If your team is using outdated headshots or doesn’t have a consistent set of images yet it may be time to create something more intentional.
