Family Photoshoot

There’s nothing that makes my heart sing more than a family photoshoot! First, we make a plan for the session. We discuss location for the session, wardrobe, and your end goals for the images. We will think about the places in your home where the new family portraits will hang. Next, we meet for the photoshoot and just have fun. There will be staged photos where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera. But I will also capture those in-between moments of laughter, of love, and of togetherness. Those are the priceless memories that last for generations. Finally, after the session, we will meet to review all of the images together. I’ll guide you through the process of selecting the very best images for your portrait order. And I will help you to select the perfect image for your wall art, albums, and digital images. My goal is to help you every step of the way and to make the entire process a fun and easy experience! When you look at your new family portraits every day hanging on your walls, you’ll remember the love that you share.

The Nelson Family

I had previous photographed Dad for a business headshot a few years ago. Fast forward to this year and a growing family! The Nelson family was such a pleasure to photograph. We got lots of smiles and beautiful interaction with Mom, Dad, and baby. It was pretty cold and baby’s nose and fingers were feeling the temperature. We had plenty of amazing shots, though, so we called it a day.

Behind every great brand photo is a whole lot of collaboration, laughter, and intention.

You don’t need to be a model—you need a photographer who knows how to guide, coach, and bring out the energy that aligns with your brand.

In Part 2 of Danielle’s mic’d-up session, we’re showing more behind-the-scenes of what it really looks like when strategy and personality come together on camera.

✨ This is branding photography done with purpose.

Marketing managers, be honest 👇🏻

How consistent are your team`s LinkedIn profiles right now?

Take a quick scroll through your company`s employee profiles.

Are you seeing:
→ Different backgrounds and lighting styles?
→ Photos that look like they`re from different decades?
→ Some professional shots mixed with casual selfies?
→ A few people still using their college graduation photo?

Here`s what happens when your team headshots are all over the place: Your company looks disorganized. Less credible. Less professional than your competitors.

Your team`s visual consistency directly impacts how clients perceive your business.

The solution? Event-based headshot sessions that give your entire team cohesive, professional imagery in one efficient appointment.

✨ Same lighting, same style, same professional quality
✨ Everyone photographed at your office during a corporate event
✨ Private galleries so each team member controls their image
✨ Done in hours, not months of scheduling chaos

Is your team due for updated headshots? Let`s make it happen.

Doesn`t this look fun? 🤩 📸

The posing cues. The lighting adjustments. The real-time direction that turns good shots into professional brand assets.

Here`s what most business owners don`t realize: branding sessions aren`t just about getting photos - they`re about creating strategic content you`ll actually use across your website, social media, and marketing materials.

One efficient session = months of professional imagery that elevates your entire business presence.

This one is for the corporate admins 👇🏻

Is coordinating individual headshot appointments your nightmare?

Here`s what usually happens:

❌ Chasing down 15+ team members for availability
❌ Booking separate sessions across multiple weeks
❌ Dealing with cancellations and rescheduling chaos
❌ Inconsistent photos because everyone went at different times
❌ The whole process takes MONTHS

Here`s the solution I built specifically for this problem:

✅ Event-based headshot station at YOUR office
✅ Everyone photographed in one efficient session
✅ Consistent lighting and style across your entire team
✅ Private proof galleries so each person controls their image
✅ The whole thing is done in hours, not months

You handle the calendar invite. I handle everything else.

Is your team due for updated headshots? Let`s make it happen without the scheduling chaos.

DM me or use the link in bio to schedule a consultation. Let me walk you through exactly how this works.

There’s a reason I reach for this lens during branding sessions.

I get asked about camera gear all the time — especially during branding sessions — and while the tools matter, how they support the experience matters more.

I love using a zoom lens for portraits because it gives me flexibility. I can adjust framing and perspective without breaking the flow of the session, which helps my client stay relaxed, confident, and present.

That range lets me focus less on repositioning and more on connection, expression, and creating images that feel natural and intentional.

Every technical choice I make is about creating an effortless experience — not just a sharp photo.

If you’re a photographer just starting out and trying to decide where to invest first, remember this: the “best” lens is the one that supports how you shoot and how you want your clients to feel.

📸 Fellow photographers — what lens do you reach for most during portrait sessions?

Drop it in the comments 👇🏻 I’d love to hear.

Looking for a job right now? This matters more than most people realize 👇🏻

In a competitive job market, your professional photo often makes the first impression — before your résumé is read, before an interview is scheduled, before you ever get the chance to speak.

And the truth is, not all photos communicate the same thing.

A strong headshot signals confidence, credibility, and readiness — without feeling stiff or overproduced. It shows that you take your career seriously and understand how you want to be perceived.

What actually works:

✅ Professional lighting that looks natural, not filtered
✅ Images that translate across LinkedIn, email signatures, and company profiles
✅ Guidance on wardrobe and posing so you feel confident and comfortable
✅ A photo that reflects who you are now, not who you were a few years ago

Whether you’re entering the workforce, changing roles, or positioning yourself for what’s next, your professional image plays a bigger role than you think.

If you’re ready to show up with clarity and confidence, I’d love to help.
