Here are 5 easy ways to start using your brand photos right now to boost visibility, build trust, and confidently show up in your business:

1. Update Your Profile Pictures

Your headshot is often your first impression online. Swap in a fresh image on:

  • Your website About page
  • LinkedIn & Instagram bios
  • Zoom and email signatures

A professional, current photo instantly builds trust and approachability.

2. Give Your Website a Refresh

Use your brand images to:

  • Replace outdated banner photos
  • Add lifestyle or behind-the-scenes shots on your Services or Contact page
  • Show off your personality and professionalism throughout your site

Your website should feel like you—your new images help make that happen.

3. Plan a Week (or More!) of Social Media Content

No need to overthink it! Use your new photos to:

  • Reintroduce yourself – people want to know who they are following! Write a quick introduction post with a few fun facts about yourself and your business!
  • Share your process or workspace
  • Highlight a favorite product or service
  • Talk about your “why”. What makes you so passionate about this work? The people want to know!
  • Address some of the pain points we discussed when putting together your shot list

Bonus tip: Pair each image with a short story or helpful tip for instant engagement.

Whether you’re sending a welcome sequence or a monthly newsletter, adding a few well-placed images makes your emails more engaging and personal.

Start with:

  • A headshot in your email signature
  • A behind-the-scenes photo in your next email
  • A lifestyle shot to complement your message

  • Pinterest pins
  • Podcast covers or guest bio submissions
  • Event promotions or speaker bios
  • Print and promotional materials – time to update those business cards!

Every platform you show up on is a chance to tell your story visually.
