Personal Branding Photography
Are you ready to elevate your business personal branding photos?
Personal branding photography is a mix of professional and lifestyle photos that show who you and what your brand or business is all about. We delve deep into visually telling your story – what you do, and why you do it – via detail shots, lifestyle shots, photos of you in action, and/or you with your products.
Each session is customized to best convey your personal brand message. Perhaps you’re trying to take your business to the next level with professional images for your social media, website and marketing. Whatever your purpose for needing personal branding photos, we want to bring your vision to life.
Most people get nervous when thinking about being photographed, you don’t want to feel awkward, uncomfortable, or like you don’t know what to do. Most of all you don’t want to get photos that make you feel bad about yourself. With 29 years of experience, I guarantee you will have a great session with clear direction and attention to all the details. You can leave everything up to me, and you will feel more confident than ever after seeing your photos!
For your branding photography session, we’ll help you…
+ prep outfits
+ book makeup & hair
+ feel confident
+ pose & guide you
You deserve to
Be Seen & Feel Confident
You’re a boss in your business, but you want to avoid getting in front of the camera at all costs. I get it. I’ve been there too. Being photographed can feel incredibly vulnerable. Our deepest insecurities all show up – looking or feeling unattractive, older, overweight…but don’t worry, this is what I’m here for (and you’re perfect, just as you are!) I will help you every step of the way, from planning clothing that is complementary to your body type, to guiding you with posing and directing to capture you in the most flattering way. My superpower is connection. I’ll help you feel relaxed and confident, and take amazing photos of you, of course!
One of the things I love most about personal branding photography is hearing about the immediate impact these kinds of photos have on a business. A refreshed and revitalized brand identity is often the key to achieving that next level of business growth. Photos increase engagement in every way, people want to know who they are working with. People follow people not brands, so you have to show up!

Why I do what I do…
My mission as a portrait photographer is to create an empowering photographic experience that positively impacts your self-view and leaves you with a spark of confidence you can carry forward into your business and your life.
Do you ever feel like you’re not photogenic? Or like you’re just awkward in front of the camera? Or maybe like it’s not even possible to get a beautiful photo taken of yourself? The truth is that it’s not your job to “be photogenic.” It’s my job to see you, direct you, and make you feel at ease during your photoshoot.
The result will be authentic images where you can feel the connection and see your unique beauty. I’ve spent years perfecting this art so I’m able to focus on your experience – keeping the shoot lighthearted & stress-free. It will, change the way you feel about being photographed.
