The Essential Brand Session
"Image. Is. Everything!"
You have a lot to offer.
But maybe...not everyone who needs to know about you, knows about you? As Cary Elwes playing King Edgar in Ella Enchanted (2004) said, "Image! Is! Everything!" He meant it superficially, but I mean it like - let's show them what you got!
If you want to attract the clients who are perfect for you, there's no better way to introduce yourself and leave no doubt in their mind that you're the one than with a strong, unique brand photo. But..maybe you're camera shy? No worries - I coach you through every pose and help you plan the shoot right from the beginning to make everything easy, actually FUN, and to get you those bold images you need for your business. And once you post, it won't just be King Edgar who says those images are EVERYTHING.
So hit that button to start the process - I can't wait to work with you!
This session is designed to give you enough variety of photos that it will last you several years.
This photoshoot is for you if...
- You have a vision for yourself at the next stage of your career - and you need your community to see the vision, too!
- You want to establish your personal brand for yourself, not let a chaotic mess of Instagram posts that you were tagged in do it for you.
- You need a photographer with a sharp eye that will look out for you, be honest, and celebrate your individuality.
- You have a new project or service that you're launching soon, and need fresh, shiny marketing materials.
- Your online presence needs to reflect the level of work that you do and the level you aspire to.
- It's been about 5 years since your last photoshoot...enough said.
Get yourself the essential brand session.
This branding photoshoot is a mix of headshots, portraits, and lifestyle imagery.
The goal is to capture your essence and communicate your brand so you can get yourself seen in the right light by the right people.
On a practical level, it was created to give you the essential photos you need to elevate your website, get amazing visual hooks to stand out on social media, and give a more well-rounded (and intriguing!) idea of who you are than headshots can do on their own.
Designed for entrepreneurs who want to show they are on the next level, business owners who want to attract a wider audience, and actors and models who need a PR shoot to show the world what they're all about.
Having had many different photoshoot experiences myself, I know how important it is to create a relaxed and fun environment for you, where you feel free to be creative, ask questions, and speak what's on your mind. Whether you're camera shy or an experienced model, I will guide you and collaborate with you to create on-brand images that make you look stunning, smart, and creative. Because you are.

FAQ
Sure, everone else looks good. But will I look good? I'm bad at posing...
Not a model? Not a problem. My (somewhat cliche) perspective as a photographer is that people are all inherently interesting, fascinating, and unique, and I love to find the right angle, as it were, for each person in front of my lens, to reflect back how truly amazing they are.
I don't rely on stock poses or gear to do the work for me.
That's why I have two things I focus on above everything else: planning the session with you and tailoring the shots to your needs, and guiding you in your poses in a way that works for you. We'll articulate the story you want your brand to tell, and nail down the specifics of style and tone.
How do I book my Session?
Fill out the contact form with the details of what you're looking for, and I'll be in touch with you with more details! I'll guide you through each step of the process after initial outreach.
Can I choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! Location plays a significant role in brand photography. You can choose to shoot at your place of work, your home, your favorite neighborhood - and if you're not sure, I have plenty of ideas of where to shoot, based on your aesthetic and brand. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, we'll capturing your photos in a place that helps tell your brand story.
Studios are also available to rent, for an additional fee.
How long does the shoot last?
The Essential Brand Session will take 2 hours for the shoot, but please account for the makeup artist, travel, and wrapping up. For studio shoots, 3 hours will be booked to account for enough time. This allows us to capture a variety of poses, outfits, frames, and various aspects of a location, so that you can have the most diverse collection of photos possible to maximize your shoot.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. You can expect your final gallery of 25 fully edited and retouched photos within 3 weeks. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
We'll reschedule! I will let you know at least with 24 hours notice if we need to reschedule due to weather.
The only thing that truly sets you apart from others who do exactly what you do…is you. So let's show 'em who you are!
