Broad Collective and the Power of Women + Community - NYC Branding Photographer

I love capturing driven and impactful women especially ones who level up other women professionally, financially and personally.  While I empower women to feel confident in themselves visually, cofounders Erin Keating (podcaster of Hotter Than Ever podcast and former television executive) and Sarah Gallagher Trombley (former Snapchat executive) are empowering women through their new company Broad Collective, a membership network for professional women pivoting to self-employment in midlife.

Broad Collective’s mission is to support members in starting and scaling businesses that require strategic content creation to promote their expertise, build audiences and grow revenue.  Broad Collective is designed to be both inspiring and practical, focused on strategy, support, techniques and tools to support women’s entrepreneurship ventures.  Plus, it is a dynamic forum where driven women can connect, can support and can grow their network together.

If you are a woman in midlife contemplating the existential reality of your career - or if you already work for yourself - lean on Broad Collective to get you and your business to grow.

If you know someone who might be interested, please spread the word!  

And, of course, subscribe to Broad Collective's Substack, follow them on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok (and all the other places) where Broad Collective will be dropping knowledge and inspiration on a regular basis.

Congratulations are in order for Erin and Sarah!  They are doing such inspirational work with Broad Collective!  And, in my opinion, their branding photos look beyond fabulous.  The images are full of personality and provide a visual connection to who they are individually and as cofounders.

It goes beyond a traditional headshot and, instead, the catalogue of images show what it feels like to work with you as a business owner/service provider.

Now Orisha will be able to use her new branding images for all of her marketing needs. And her potential clients will see what joy she has for her profession and how it would feel to work with her.

Professional Headshots in Any Sized Company - NYC Professional Headshot Photographer

It is so important to have a polished professional headshot. For companies who are presenting their professionals to the public, its essential. Companies are now making their interaction with the general public that much more personal with the inclusion of professional headshots in their employees' email signatures as well as on their company website. Especially in a service role, a professional headshot in your email signature makes interactions that much more personal while boosting your reputation (and relationship) with others. As we all know, its always nice to place a face to a name and its the first step towards building a connected and trusted working relationship.

Here are examples of professional headshots at a branding/merchandising company, a digital marketing agency, a financial services company and a real estate sales team.
