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.

Family photos with a 4-year-old? You just have to roll with it. 😂🤍

Little kids aren’t going to stand perfectly still, follow every direction, and smile on command—and I don’t expect them to!

I’d much rather meet them where they are. We’ll play, move around, be silly, take little breaks when we need them, and work toward those sweet moments in between.

That’s part of why I love family sessions so much. The goal isn’t perfectly behaved kids or a picture-perfect hour. It’s capturing your family as they are right now.

And yes, we’ll still get that beautiful everyone-looking-at-the-camera photo for the frame. 😉 But sometimes the personality-filled moments end up being the favorites.

🍂 I still have a few fall family portrait dates available! Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session.
Honestly… a little bit of everything. 📸

From professional headshots and personal branding to senior portraits and family sessions, I love creating photos that help people and businesses tell their story.

And there’s plenty more I can help with, too—large team group composites, in-office headshots for teams with different schedules, acting and modeling headshots, office branding, and more.

Basically, if you need photos for yourself, your family, or your business, let’s talk about what you have in mind. I’ll help you figure out the best way to make it happen.

📸 Not sure where to start? Book a consultation with me through the link in my bio.
Money may not buy happiness, but having photos of your family to look back on years from now? That’s pretty priceless. 🤍

Fall family portrait season is here, and I have a few weekend dates still available (spots are filling fast!) 👇🏻

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If you’ve been meaning to update the family photos, document this season, or get those holiday card photos checked off your list, this is your sign to get on the calendar.

And once you book, I’ll make sure you’re not left wondering what to wear, where we’re going, what to bring, or what to expect. My Family Session Welcome Guide walks you through everything you need to know to feel prepared for your session. (linked in my bio)

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.
