You are a brand...
CONFESSION - ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IS TO BE A PART OF THE "DREAM DISCOVERY" PROCESS...
...and a very large part of that begins by defining your brand, or as I like to phrase it, remembering who you are. Your brand will, and should, look different and, surprise – your brand is NOT your job (although the line may run thin for some of us entrepreneurial spirits). So what is your brand then? It’s easy to define the “what,” like “what you wear,” but your brand is more about the “how,” like “how you wear it.” Let’s start building it together…and have some fun along the way!

WHAT TO
expect
These sessions are intentionally and thoughtfully tailored to you. I could go on with more details, but the short version is this: everything (and I mean everything) should be a reflection of who you are. Because of that, we’ll communicate a lot about what your session will look like, from locations to outfits to the overall vibe. And if you choose, you can also enjoy the added bonus of a mini consultation on how your photos can be used or displayed to support your brand and elevate your success.
​
During the session itself, we’ll interact and collaborate naturally to create those candid, connected moments we all gravitate toward, with a few headshot-style images sprinkled in. The goal is to help you connect with your ideal client, and only photos that feel genuine and engaging can build that relationship before you ever say a word. How do we get there? By building our own rapport first, so I can capture the most authentic version of you behind the lens. For this reason, I don’t typically work from a strict shot list. However, if you have specific needs, you’re always welcome to share them in advance so they can be incorporated into your session.
​
*Please note that I typically work directly with my clients, and do not book or design sessions through third parties.

WHAT TO
wear
The rule-of-thumb is to avoid bright, neon colors, graphics, and/or bold patterns - unless intentional Darker colors tend to be more flattering, and flat colors keep the attention on you rather than what you’re wearing. So as you can see, your outfit(s) may or may not be a big part of your session. For example, if you’re a real estate agent, your outfit should be clean, classic, and comfortable so that the focus is on your face, creating a natural connection with your clients. However, if you’re a fashion designer or boutique owner, your outfit is everything and SHOULD be displayed. Your outfit decisions will be particularly important, and something we can absolutely do together. It is not uncommon to text photos before the session to get advice/opinions, or to even pack a small suitcase if you are unsure and we will pick them out right at your session.
DO CONSIDER YOUR BRAND COLOR PALETTE...
This should include a minimum of 3 colors – a dominant, a secondary, and a highlight/passive color. Review your current web presence and make sure your outfit will not result in you blending in, but rather standing out and at the same time matching your current/prospective brand color palette.
