Brand photography is

more than just a

HEADSHOT.

It’s the story of your brand.

It includes:

  • Headshots/Environmental Portraits
  • Workspaces
  • Products
  • Personalities
  • Values
  • Behind-the-Scenes/Process
  • Details

Whatever you need for your marketing tools – website, socials, newsletters, etc, we can make it happen for you. That’s exactly how I approach the visual needs for my own business.

Each personal and business branding project I do requires individualized planning and collaboration. And because each brand is different, my first step is always a 15 minute inquiry phone call.

I will treat your personal or business brand with the same level of care, as if it were my own.

Ignite your brand.

the possibilities are infinite

Your brand photography is researched, planned, and designed just for you. Each session is strategically spontaneous to allow room for creativity.

We can create gifs, animations, time lapses, and movie clips. Adding movement is a great way to liven up social media feeds, newsletters, and websites.

collaborate

A few days before your session, we’ll review the session plan to make adjustments and so you know what to expect. This makes the day of a goal-oriented time that’s also a lot of fun (even if you lean towards the more camera shy, like most people do.)

celebrate

You’ve just made an entire library of photos that will do the talking for you! It’s a bit like hiring a another employee who does a lot of the connecting and communicating for you! That is amazing. You’ll also receive a guide so you know exactly how to put your photos to use. I’ll be here to cheer you on and likely connect you with other collaborators and clients.
