3 Tips for Working with a Therapist | Approachability + Professionalism
We had the best time at this session working for the Nourished Should Center for Healing!! Working with talented and kind people never gets old to me and then you add food!? When Cherie reached out last fall, I was honored. I hadn’t ever thought a food therapist but after chatting, I realized a lot of our thoughts and opinions about food, comes from our childhood and lifestyle. This was opening for sure!!
Here are a few tips:
Think beyond your face. Include the tools you use every day—journals, affirmation cards, food journals, or even books that inspire your work. These elements give your audience a deeper understanding of how you support them.
Some of the most powerful photos come from authentic interactions—walking through your space, journaling, or sitting in quiet reflection. Capture your personality in motion and moments of genuine emotion. Let your audience see the calm confidence you bring into every session.
A branding session with a food therapist is about creating imagery that reflects trust, safety, and transformation. Whether you're launching a new website or refreshing your social media, these photos should communicate who you are before you even say a word.
4. Highlight the soft details: plants, books, comfortable chairs, warm lighting, and even a mug of tea. These details give your audience a sense of the calm and safety they’ll feel when working with you.
Like any session, authenticity trumps all!! SO grab some poses and props that make sense and start photographing these talented and lovely people! Therapists are often great people!!
