What I’d Fix First If You Hired Me as Your Brand Photographer
Let me be honest right up front.
Your brand photos probably aren’t bad.
They’re just… boring.
They’re the photos you think you’re supposed to have.
The safe ones. The expected ones. The “this looks professional, right?” ones.
And that’s the problem.
The real issue isn’t your photos. It’s the energy behind them.
Most people come to me wanting new brand photos because they feel invisible online. But instead of fixing that, they recreate it.
They think they’re going to show up to our shoot with:
arms crossed and a polite smile
a coffee mug they don’t even drink from
a laptop with no personality
a beige outfit that blends perfectly into a beige background
It’s giving… I’m qualified but please don’t look at me too closely.
Your photos aren’t leading with your passion.
They aren’t leading with your knowledge.
They definitely aren’t leading with your charisma.
They’re following a trend. And trends are designed to help you blend in, not stand out.
When you hire me as your brand photographer, I don’t start with the camera.
I start with your mindset.
Because brand photos don’t create confidence.
They reveal it.
Before we ever shoot, we’re deciding who you’re showing up as.
Not the version of you that’s playing it safe.
Not the version that’s trying to look like everyone else in your industry.
Not the version that’s worried about being “too much.”
We’re embodying the most successful version of you. The one who already knows her value. The one who doesn’t hide behind props or poses. The one who walks into a room and changes the energy.
We’re not hiding.
We’re not shrinking.
We’re not blending in.
We’re bringing her out to play.
The poses I’ve retired immediately
When you hire me, these are the first to go:
arms crossed with a forced smile
staring lovingly at a laptop like it just closed a deal
holding a coffee mug just to say you like coffee (newsflash, most of us do)
stiff, overly curated poses that say nothing about who you actually are
Not because they’re wrong, but because they’re lazy.
They don’t tell your story.
They don’t show your authority.
And they definitely don’t stop the scroll.
What we’ll create instead
We’ll create images that look like you mid-thought, mid-laugh, mid-power move.
Photos that feel confident without trying.
Photos that show you know what you’re doing.
Photos that make your dream client think, “Yep. That’s who I want.”
This isn’t about being louder.
It’s about being more you.
Leading with your voice.
Your expertise.
Your presence.
If this stung a little, good.
That means you know you’ve outgrown your current brand.
So here’s your invitation.
Stop hiding behind what you think your brand should look like.
Start showing up in your own way.
And if you’re ready to embody that version of yourself, not just talk about her…
📸 Book the shoot.
She’s already there. I just help bring her into the frame.
