Is Your Brand Photography Ready for a September Reset? Here’s What to Check.

September might not have the fireworks of January, but for women in business it’s often the true start of the year.


Summer’s over. Kids go back to school. Schedules settle (sort of) and suddenly, it’s like the fog lifts and we get the itch to get serious again.


If you’re a woman entrepreneur ready to step back into visibility, tweak your strategy, or launch something new — this is your month. But before you dive in head-first, here are a few ways to give your brand the refresh it deserves.


1. Does your brand photography reflect where your business is now?


You’ve grown. Your offers have evolved, but are your headshots still from 2021? Are you still using that handful of stock image that you felt 'would do' at the time, but now make you cringe a little?


👉 A visual refresh doesn’t have to mean a full rebrand — sometimes, just a handful of new on-brand photos (yes, even from a mini session!) can bring your content to life.

Ask yourself:


  • Do your current photos match your energy, values, and vibe?

  • Can someone land on your website or socials and “get” what you do in 5 seconds? If not… it’s time to update.


2. Have you reconnected with your audience lately?


If you’ve been quiet over summer there's no shame in that, everyone slows down, takes a break and recharges their batteries, but September is a brilliant time to reignite that connection.


✅ Send an email sharing what’s new.

✅ Post a behind-the-scenes update.

✅ Invite your audience into your journey — people buy from people, not logos.


Reconnection builds trust. And trust builds sales. It's as simple as that.


3. Are your offers aligned with what people need right now?


The back-to-business buzz of September often means your audience is ready to invest in themselves, in their visibility, and in their growth and you want to be there to help them.


Whether you’re offering coaching, done-for-you services, products or workshops, ask yourself:


  • Does my current offer suite reflect my best work?

  • Am I positioning these offers clearly on my platforms?

  • Do I make it easy for someone to say “yes” and buy?


If you’re unsure, now is the perfect time to tweak, test, and relaunch.


4. Do you have a visibility plan in place?


We can’t grow in secret and hoping people stumble upon your business isn’t a marketing strategy.


🗓️ Use September to map out your next 3 months of visibility:


  • Where are you showing up?

  • What are you sharing?

  • What kind of brand photography do you need to support that?


The more intentional your content and imagery are, the more your brand will stick.


Final Thoughts:


You don’t need to overhaul everything this September but a few thoughtful tweaks to your brand, your content, and your strategy can set you up for a strong finish to the year.


And if you need new visuals to bring it all to life? You know where to find me.
