Photoshoot in Puerto Rico: Group Branding and Growth
So when I say that my group branding sessions are fire, you better believe it. 😉 These women walked away excited and raving about how good I made them feel. They were so excited that I offered this while we were all together, and I got a ton of love after I sent them their galleries too.
In fact, I bonded so hard with one of them that we still text each other randomly and stay in touch with each others lives.
The power of connection is so strong.
Let’s create community together.

3 ways to be more authentic in front of the camera | Tri-Cities, WA branding photographer
Being in front of the camera comes naturally to a lot of people who grew up with smartphones and selfies, but for many of us it still feels weird and uncomfortable. My clients often say that one of the things that has stopped them thus far from getting updated images of themselves is that they feel awkward having their pictures taken. They’re not necessarily self-conscious – although that’s nothing to be ashamed of – but they just don’t know how to be themselves when there’s a camera being shoved in their face.
So today, I’m here to help.
Here are some helpful tips to being more authentic in front of the camera:

Remember to live joyfully and authentically. Be you, whoever that is, and be proud of who you are. Be a good human and love others. Let’s join together to create a better, safer, more inclusive world.
Great branding and visibility
Having a recognizable brand, a brand that evokes emotions, a brand that makes people WANT to work with you… those are the things that will get your business in front of more people. Which means your visibility will skyrocket if you have something interesting to say and pair it with something beautiful to showcase.
Which leads perfectly into your branding images. 😉
Blue Aura Branding: Healing with Angie Dover
Angie and I became fast friends while planning the retreat and we embraced helping each other out and lifting each other up. So when she asked me to take her branding pictures, I was thrilled to be able to work with her again.
She’s a multi-faceted woman who does a LOT. She offers Reiki healing, massage therapy, sound bath healing, and oracle card readings. Together with a partner, she was combining her powers to create a beautiful destination Goddess Retreat. She’s working on planning these retreats now, so make sure you go give her a follow if that’s something you’re interested in.
5 Steps to Prepare for your Branding Photography Session
Your branding session is a big deal. The pictures you’re going to get during your session are going to represent your business and brand for at least the next few months, if not the next year. So it makes sense that you want to make sure it all works out the way you plan.
A lot of my clients aren’t sure where to start, and some of them know exactly what they want. Whichever camp you fall into, even if you’re somewhere in the middle, I’ve compiled a list of 5 tips to prepare for your branding photography session.
Headshots on repeat
I recognized as I sent my branding guide out to different small business owners and companies that the needs of each organization simply can’t be shoved into 1 base package. Instead, I’ve begun getting to know the wants and needs of each inquiry and then sending them a custom package, with all the details of their personalized options, 2-3 investment levels, and the reminder that the listed info is further customizable wherever they see the need.
9 pictures every entrepreneur should get during their branding photography session
My clients are tired of wasting time and money getting the right picture to market their business. That’s why I put together this list of 9 pictures to get during your branding photography session. So that you can remove the stressor of “what to photograph” from your ever-growing list and focus on making money in your business.
This list gives you ideas on what to showcase during your professional branding photography session, but is not all-inclusive. Your photographer should be able to help you narrow this down and really capture the heart and personality of your specific business.
