TRUTH TIME:
The world needs more of YOU, not more pictures of your laptop.
Help your ideal clients get to know, like, and trust you with custom brand photos that showcase your personality and highlight your expertise.
(And I’m not talking about cheesy, super-staged “smile at your screen” pics, because the online space already has enough of those!)
Professional brand photography for savvy female entrepreneurs in New Jersey and New York City
PICTURE THIS…
Your dream client finds you online and is immediately impressed with your beautifully cohesive, professional brand.
She feels like she’s known you for years and wants to work with you right away. She’d even choose yesterday if that was an option.
But how can you cultivate this kind of instant connection when people see more photos of your laptop, notebook, or coffee mug than they do of YOU?
(And that’s if these props are even yours!)
IT’S SIMPLE REALLY.
Before you can be seen as an expert,
you need to be seen.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with stock photos, in small doses. Who doesn’t love the occasional stock pic + inspirational quote combo?
But a stock photo can’t convey your unique personality or the special sauce that makes you the professional that you are. To do that, you need on-brand, custom images that *actually* show your face (not just your “fake-typing” hands), invite people into your world, and let people connect with the real YOU.
So, what’s the hold-up?
Let me guess. You’re letting these 3 myths get in your way of hiring a professional brand photographer …
-
You’ve convinced yourself that you can use the same, generic images as everyone else online and still – somehow – stand out from the pack. (How’s that working for you?)
-
You’ve got a couple pics from 2019 that you use on repeat. The quality isn’t the greatest and the backgrounds are questionable, but no one will notice, right?? (Um, yes … Yes, they will.)
-
You think you need to be prettier, skinnier, or a 20-something “influencer” to book a brand photoshoot, so you keep putting it off. (Spoiler alert: You’re perfect and worthy as you are, in this moment.)
Ready to ditch the myths so you can build a library of brand photos that represent you and your business in all the right ways?
Now for Some Time Traveling …
Before your brand photoshoot:
✖ Your photos are old, outdated, and stuck in the dark ages of where your business used to be.
✖ You silently cringe when directing people to your website (or any other online channel) because your brand doesn’t feel premium enough.
✖ You want to attract higher-paying clients and boost your revenue … but your dream clients have been slow to come knockin’ at your digital door.
After your brand photoshoot:
✔ Your photos not only reflect who you are today but inspire you to think as “Future You” (the woman who says “Heck, Yes!” to bigger and bolder business moves).
✔ You feel 100% confident showing up online (and secretly love that people are envious of your cohesive, professional-looking brand).
✔ You get regular messages from dream clients saying things like, “I only want to work with you!” and “How soon can we start?!”

The location(s) for your brand photoshoot will depend on your business and what aligns with you and your brand. Clients often use co-working spaces, their own homes (or the home of a friend), coffee shops, downtowns, etc. I’ll help you figure out what could work best for your brand and will help source locations, if needed. Unless otherwise noted, space rental fees are an additional cost.

My special sauce is helping you feel your most comfortable during your shoot. If you’re like most of my clients, you might feel nervous or self-conscious about having your picture taken – and that’s totally normal! But my clients end up having so much fun and telling me how comfortable and confident they felt putting themselves out there. It also gives them a boost to pursue new opportunities, now that they have professional photos to showcase their brand.

If you’re serious about your business, you need to get serious about your brand photos.
That means OUT with old selfies and stock photos that keep you playing small … and IN with custom photos that inspire big moves in your business and make the best first impression – every time.
