Why Branding?

A branding session is a little more involved than the standard headshot session.  First, we plan location, wardrobe, and props for the session.  Next, on session day, we provide hair and makeup services (if needed).  We have a lot of fun and hopefully laugh along the way (that’s my favorite part)!  Feel free to bring a friend or partner along to the session if it helps calm nerves or just to assist in wardrobe changes.  Wardrobe changes in different spaces help give the illusion that the images were taken at different times and places.  I like to save the most casual images for the very end…put up the hair, put on the jeans and let’s rock that look.  Finally, after the session, you will select the very best images for your portfolio.  You can now update the website, social media, marketing materials, and so much more!

CPA and Small Business Branding

Small business owners need images to tell the story!  Why are you in business?  Which clients do you serve?  What problems do you solve for people?  Gabriell is a small business owner and CPA.  Her target client is veterinary offices.  By narrowing her client base, she can fully serve her clients who own a veterinary practice.  Gabriell is well-versed in any specific needs, rules, or exemptions that pertain to this industry.  She is a joy to work with and I’m so excited for her new website and branding images to flood the market.  I can’t wait to see how her business thrives with her new marketing material.

LeighAnne is a realtor and we did a branding session as well.  After hair and makeup services, she was ready to go with several outfits!  I love the variety in her final branding portfolio that will allow her to use images as needed for marketing.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don't resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.
A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.
