Capturing the Essence
Personal Branding Photography
Your brand is completely unique. And we think you should be presented like an original artwork — wonderfully made, powerful & priceless.
If you are an entrepreneur or run a small business, a personal branding photography session is exactly what you need to push your brand and your image more strongly into the minds of your audience. Personal branding images strongly impress upon your target audience the vision, mood and priorities of your business. Meaningful photography helps build your brand and online presence in a powerful way. Yes, personal branding includes a headshot , but that is not all. Branding sessions showcase exactly what makes you YOU. This is not about comparing yourself, products or services to competitors — but instead focuses solely on who you are, what you do, and why you do what you do.
Branding sessions require your involvement and thoughtfulness so that we can work together to capture the essence of your personality as a massive amount of photography content and marketing materials that you can repurpose again and again. Personal branding sessions eliminate stress and procrastination from your workflow. Images created are relaxed, natural photography, telling your brand story, giving you the confidence to sell your products and services with intention and ease.
With over 20 years of experience, we are proud to support the efforts of a wide variety of businesses from numerous industries including chefs, accessory designers, dentists, interior designers, construction companies, non-profit groups, creative entrepreneurs (fashion designers, makers, performers, writers, makeup artists, hair stylists, clothing stylists, etc.), and so much more.

Personal Branding Photography is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to use photography to help build their brand and online presence. Depending upon your needs, you may want to book us once per month to continuously acquire fresh, professional imagery and content on a regular basis, or you might opt to work with us once a year. Every business is unique, so we offer the freedom to choose the rhythm that works best for you. After a photo shoot, you will have all edited images provided to you as instant downloads so that you can utilize them immediately for your physical and digital marketing campaigns.
To get started, please complete our Personal Branding Questionnaire.
Personal Branding Session Images:
Headshots - Ultimately, these images need to scream YOU. So if you’re not a blazer-wearing kind of person, we don’t want you to wear one. This is an opportunity to present yourself to your ideal client in a natural manner - to connect with your ideal audience in a way to best shows off your real personality.
Personal Lifestyle - Your hobbies, weekend recreation, favorite drinks, morning rituals, family, etc. are all details that can be showcased in lifestyle photos. We are going to celebrate and capture the essence of who you really are. We exist in a highly impersonal online world, so the goal of these images is to help people get to know you on a more personal level.
Doing the Work/BTS - Seeing is believing. This is where we are all a bit old-school; before we choose to work with someone, we want to get an idea of the actual process. Sharing photos of you working can accomplish that for potential clients - to help set them at ease and witness all of the way that you are a true professional.
Work Tools - How you do what you do can be the turning point for a potential client to come knocking on your door. So it’s great to show off your tech, tools and creative process.
Flat lays + Vignettes - Flat lays are just a fancy way of explaining a photo that is taken from up above (looking straight down). This offers your audience an alternative perspective from the typical straight-on shots usually shown online and in marketing materials.
