Strategic Brand Portraiture for People Who Refuse to Blend In

For executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives who understand that visual authority drives business outcomes

This is not just a photoshoot. It’s a comprehensive brand photography experience designed to strengthen your market position.

What’s Included:

Pre-Shoot Brand Strategy Consultation

Before we pick up a camera, we analyze your visual brand presence. I’ll review your website, LinkedIn profile, social media, and competitive landscape through the lens of a marketing professor who’s also an editorial photographer.

Together, we’ll identify:

• Which images you’re missing that weaken your authority
• Where visual inconsistency undermines trust
• What content gaps exist across platforms
• How to differentiate your visual brand from competitors

Strategic Shot List Development

Based on our consultation, I create a detailed plan for your session.  Laying out specific setups, locations, styling directions, and image variations optimized for different platforms.

Shooting Session

Half-day (up to 3 hours) sessions provide enough time to capture diverse imagery without fatigue. We work through the shot list systematically while staying open to documentary moments that reveal authentic character.

Studio or Location

My factory studio offers vintage industrial environments with editorial texture. Or we shoot on-location if your workspace adds meaningful narrative context.

Image Review & Selection

Choose your final images strategically based on business need, not focusing just aesthetic preference.

Professional Retouching & Fast Delivery

Final images are typically delivered within one week. High-resolution files for print, web-optimized files, and full commercial usage rights.

Optional: Professional Hair & Makeup

Available through trusted partners (booked separately).

Investment:

$1,100 Session Fee
$120 per selected final image
Most clients select 10-15 images for comprehensive platform coverage.
Average Total Investment: $2,500

For brands that need authentic, story-driven content

The most powerful images don’t feel like photoshoots. They feel like glimpses into who you are when you’re in your element, creating, leading, building, thinking.

Drawing from my decade of documentary magazine work, these sessions capture you authentically:

• Working in your signature environment
• Behind-the-scenes process documentation
• “Day in the life” content that reveals character
• Environmental portraits with contextual storytelling
• Lifestyle imagery for sophisticated personal brands

Perfect for:

• Team portraits and demonstrating collaboration
• Entrepreneurs who want to humanize their brand
• Executives preparing for media features or speaking tours
• Creatives whose process is part of their story
• Anyone building a content library for long-term use

Same consultation, planning, and investment structure but different execution style.  With less focus on portraiture and more on documenting you or your team in their own environment. 

Elevate your brand with short-form video clips:

Generally custom quoted, but typically $2,000 for two professionally recorded and produced 20-30 second clips

Perfect for:

• Website hero sections
• LinkedIn posts and introductions
• Instagram reels and stories
• Email campaign headers
• Speaking introduction videos

Video captures movement, personality, and presence in ways still photography can’t. Combined with your image library, it creates a comprehensive visual toolkit.

The marketing perspective, without the photoshoot

Not ready to shoot but want strategic guidance on your visual brand presence?

Book a standalone consultation where I’ll:

• Audit your website and social media for visual consistency
• Identify content gaps and missed positioning opportunities
• Provide shot list recommendations for future sessions
• Offer platform-specific optimization guidance
• Deliver actionable recommendations for immediate improvement

Investment: $500
(Full fee applied toward photography session if booked within 30 days)

Consider how many times your brand imagery is seen:

• Your website: Hundreds or thousands of monthly visitors
• LinkedIn profile and posts: Your entire professional network
• Social media: Months or years of content
• Speaking engagements, media features, podcast interviews: Audiences you spent years building
• Email signatures, proposals, presentations: Every business interaction

When you calculate cost per impression, strategic brand photography becomes one of the highest-ROI investments you can make.

The question isn’t whether you can afford it. It’s whether you can afford another quarter with visual assets that don’t match your authority.
