Health Care Branding Session

The health care sector, including physicians, dentists, surgeons, orthodontists, allergists, dermatologists, OB/GYN, cardiologists, etc., have a unique opportunity to connect with patients.  By utilizing a branding session, these health care specialists can show current and future patients about the practice and about themselves in a new way.  Patients can rarely compare the actual outcomes of treatment with other providers.  For example, they can’t say, “my allergy test with Dr. X was better than your allergy test with Dr. Y”.  It’s just really difficult for the lay person to do that.  What patients can compare, though, is how they are treated by the doctors and staff in your practice.  We used to call it “bedside manner”.  How much time do you spend with each patient?  Do you truly listen to their concerns and help them understand how your treatment will make them better?  And more and more, patients want to know about you!  They want to know a little bit about you outside of the clinic.  With a branding session, you’re able to show them that and make them feel comfortable before they even step foot in your office.  It creates trust and confidence in you and your team.  Let’s build that with your patients!

A Session with Dr. Cohen

Recently, I was given the opportunity to photograph Dr. Cohen.  I was on assignment for a publication called CURE, that reports on cancer patients and their stories.  This was a unique case, though.  Dr. Cohen has been researching the affects of lifestyle changes on cancer outcomes.  When diagnosed with cancer himself, he put that research into practice full-force.  I had such a lovely time photographing him with the help of his wife Allison.  I photographed the ingredients for the mixture that he makes for breakfast every morning and the green tea that they share (his with caffeine and hers without).  Then we got some headshots and action shots of Dr. Cohen for the article.  And finally, a photo outside of the house where the brick holds 4 letters spelling the word “H O P E”.  Indeed.  Thank you Dr. Cohen, for your spirit, your research, and the hope that you bring to patients and to the world.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

Ready to finally love your headshot?

What is your headshot or branding saying about you?

Because whether you realize it or not… your image is already telling a story.
The question is — is it the right one?

Your photo is often your first impression: on LinkedIn, your website, your business card, even your email signature. And people will make assumptions based on what they see.

✔️ Does your headshot show confidence and approachability?
✔️ Does it reflect your personality, values, and professionalism?
✔️ Or is it outdated, unclear, or totally misaligned with where you're headed?

Your image should tell your story before you even speak.
Make sure it’s the one you want people to hear.

Let’s capture photos that reflect the real you — with intention, authenticity, and style.

How to feel confident in photos 👇🏻

Let’s be honest — not everyone loves being in front of the camera. But confidence in your photos isn’t about being a model… it’s about feeling like yourself.

Here are a few ways to boost your confidence before your next session:

✨ Wear something that makes you feel good.
Choose outfits that fit well, reflect your style, and make you feel like the best version of you.

✨ Practice posture + breathing.
Good posture instantly improves how you carry yourself — and deep breaths help you relax and release tension.

✨ Shift your mindset.
Instead of focusing on how you look, focus on what the photo represents — your personality, your story, your growth.

✨ Work with a photographer who gets it.
That’s where I come in. I’ll guide you through every step of the process — from what to wear to how to pose — so you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely you in every shot.

📸 Let’s create photos you actually love. Contact me to chat or book your session.
Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇

Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.

Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:

1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.

2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.

3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.

4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.

5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.

✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session

🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.
