Show Up In Social Media Photos

social media social media strategy social media tips

My sister was visiting this week, and she snapped a few quick photos of me working in my office. Nothing fancy, just me, doing what I normally do every day.

And honestly? I love these photos.

Why? Because they’re real.

They show me in my actual day-to-day setup. Messy desk and all. And I can’t wait to use them on social media because they give an honest look into what working with me really looks like.

 

Let’s Ditch the Pressure for Perfect Photos

Not every photo you post needs to be super branded or highly curated.

📸 It doesn’t need to be taken with a professional camera.
📸 You don’t need to be in full hair and makeup.
📸 Your background doesn’t need to be spotless.

Your followers love seeing the real you.

Showing up doesn’t mean looking flawless, it just means being present. Your audience connects with what’s genuine.

 

Need Photo Ideas? Start Here:

If you’re stuck on what to post, here are a few ideas for simple, everyday photos that still build trust and connection:

  • You working at your desk, in your office or shop

  • Packaging or shipping an order

  • Helping a customer (with permission!)

  • Prepping for a product launch or event

  • Enjoying a hobby or relaxing on a break

  • Writing in a notebook or planning content

  • Behind the scenes of a typical day

These small, candid moments make for great content.

 

Final Thought: You Don’t Need Perfect, You Just Need You

Your customers and followers aren’t here for perfection. They’re here for connection.

They want to get to know the person behind the business. So give them a peek! Let them into your world. A quick photo can go a long way in building loyalty and trust.

No pressure, no perfection, just you, showing up.

That’s more than enough. 💛
