 How you show up online matters more than ever and it goes far beyond a good photo.In this episode of the Soul Inspiring Business Podcast, Kara sits down with branding photographer Maureen Porto to talk about confidence, personal presence, and the powerful connection between how you see yourself and how others see you.Maureen shares her journey from investment advisor to sought-after personal brand photographer, along with the psychology behind confidence, first impressions, and why professional imagery can actually change how you think, feel, and show up in your business.If you’ve ever felt hesitant to put yourself out there, struggled with confidence, or wondered how your personal brand impacts your success, this conversation will give you both the mindset and practical tools to step forward with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.Episode Topics:The transition from corporate career to purpose-driven entrepreneurshipWhy confidence is a skill you can build (not something you’re born with)The neuroscience behind first impressions and personal presenceHow professional imagery influences self-perception and business successThe concept of the “confidence loop” and how small actions rewire your brainWhy personal branding is about authenticity, not perfectionWhat to wear (and avoid) for professional photos and online visibilityHow to find the right photographer for your personal brandAligning your gifts and strengths to build a business that feels meaningfulInsights:Confidence isn’t a personality trait. It’s a muscle that grows through small, intentional actions.Your brain forms trust and capability judgments in one-tenth of a second based on visual cues.How you see yourself directly impacts how you show up and how others respond to you.Acting confident physically can trigger your brain to actually feel confident.Small “micro-wins” outside your comfort zone create lasting confidence through a neurological feedback loop.The goal of personal branding isn’t to become someone else. It’s to elevate the best version of who you already are.You don’t need expensive wardrobe or luxury brands. Fit, simplicity, and authenticity matter most.Meaningful work often lives at the intersection of your gifts, your passions, and the problems you care about solving.Highlights:00:00 Highlighted Keypoints01:00 Introduction and Guest Background04:14 Evolution into Branding Photography11:07 Confidence as a Skill17:04 Embodied Cognition and Photo Impact26:17 Micro-steps to Build Confidence33:17 Practical Branding Photo Guidance39:41 Client Prep and Industry Fit44:04 Finding and Referring Photographers46:50 Resources and Offer to Help50:20 Podcast episode endedResources:Maureen Porto Photography: https://maureenporto.comContact form available on the website for consultations, referrals, or marketing guidancePortfolio examples to help evaluate photography style and branding approachRecommendations and network resources for small business marketing, websites, SEO, and designIf this conversation resonated with you, take one small step outside your comfort zone this week and start showing up as the confident professional you’re becoming.Connect with Maureen at https://www.maureenporto.com/ to explore branding photography or get feedback on your online presence.And if you found value in this episode, share it with a fellow business owner, subscribe to the podcast, and keep building a business that reflects your gifts, your purpose, and your authentic voice.Connect with Kara to share your thoughts on the series:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/Email - kara@kdcrealestate.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/karachaffin1?_rdc=1&_rdrYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin/Don't forget to visit freegiftfromkara.com for our special giveaway, the Dynamic Life Journal to help you maintain your authentic voice and intuitive wisdom while navigating the balance between technology and human connection in your business and personal life.Special Listener Offer: Unlock Your Soul-Aligned Brand with Jen CudmoreAs a gift to our Soul Inspiring Business community, I’ve convinced my incredible mentor and business coach, Jen Cudmore, to create an exclusive package just for you—our loyal listeners.
