My favorite images are created during that hour before sunset when the Earth is positively illuminated in beautiful light. When I am not outside you can find me in my light and airy studio where I love to tell a different kind of story. My signature look in the studio is at most times whimsical.

Branding Lifestyle session | For Pittsburgh small business owner or local entrepreneur

Branding Lifestyle session

For Pittsburgh small business owner or local entrepreneur

Branding Lifestyle session

Are you a small business owner or a local entrepreneur?

If you, are you know the importance of being more memorable, personable, and relatable throughout your business and marketing materials

A branding lifestyle photoshoot is much more different than the headshot your need for LinkedIn. This session is much more relaxed and it captures you naturally in your business environment.  I highly recommend doing them once a year. Stay fresh and continue to match your brand aesthetic. You want customers to feel that your photos reflect your brand story.

 

Branding lifestyle photoshoots create a connection with your ideal client. Showcasing your personality and places you like grab a coffee or hang out. When your clients are more relatable to you and have a connection, they are more likely to hire you. When we are done you will have an updated headshot, Images for social media, content for your website, and more.

How Should I Prepare for my Branding Lifestyle Session? 

 

Let’s start here: What is your Brand Identity? This is your logo, brand colors, visuals, for my personal branding sessions, I want my images to feel fresh, light, and all about YOU and your team. Your session is a direct translation of your brand identity, and who I am personally

 

After we create a shot list it’s ideal to have a photo for each. This will ensure your gallery of images has lots of variety. Variety is key if one of the main reasons you’re getting a branding photoshoot is for social media.

For a 1.5-hour session, I suggest up to 5 outfit changes.

For your outfits, the first goal is to feel comfortable. If you’re uncomfortable and consistently pulling at your clothing, it will kill your confidence and that energy will come through in your photos.

You also want to make sure that your outfits match your overall brand identity visually, physically, and emotionally.

The props that you bring for your branding photoshoot will all depend on the shot list. Some of the most common items my clients bring to branding photoshoots are:

cute mug

fluid to  fill the mug (Champagne is ok 😉

planner

computer, Ipad, laptop

notebook

pretty pen

products, if applicable

cellphone

It all began when the stars aligned | Pittsburgh award child photographer

It all began when the stars aligned | Pittsburgh award child photographer

she had stars in her eyes and galaxies in her veins

 

Magical child sessions … ahhhhh give them all ! It all started with a dress – I had seen this dress and dreamt of the day that it would be rented for a session. That day came & it was more perfect than I imagined. I love stars & when I get to incorporate them into a session I try to make it different form the last …because we all know I have used stars quite a bit . LOL . I had a mentor come in all the way from South Carolina, (Paige) that hired me for my pixie dust mentoring session. The idea is that I create a session that they oversea from start to finish. . . +

These type of sessions are super fun & typically super magical because my creative juices get to run & play. (Where as normally my child sessions are truly based on the child his/her interest love etc. at the time…these sessions are a different part of my imagination and what can I do to show my creative juices to the one hiring me )

Paige and I did a model call that included that they needed to have a big dog. I felt like the stars aligned with these 2 beauties came into my inbox. I grew up having a great dane and have a special spot in my heart for them. This Blue great dane was just as beautiful as her sister. We all had a lot of fun at the studio and outside the studio in alleyway.
