Branding Photography Services DFW Metroplex
I help professionals and companies look their absolute best with sharp headshots, branding that tells a story and head turning commercial photography, so they shine online.
Personal brand photography is the art of using high-quality images to tell the story of your brand. Using photos to market and advertise your brand not only positions you as an expert in your field but it gives your clients and audience a more authentic brand experience. Whether you’re a real estate agent, coach, online entrepreneur, influencer, or speaker, beautiful, professional photography can really take your branding to the next level.
I would love the opportunity to assist you with your personal brand photography by offering you a professional, customized photo session that brings every aspect of your brand to life. Not only will I help you create a visual version of your branding message but we’ll also create a photo experience that will leave you feeling great. Your brand photography will draw clients in and give them a reason to choose you.
See below for examples of how I've helped local Dallas - Fort Worth businesses bring their branding vision to life.

The Realtor
Personal branding photography is a relatively new aspect of visual branding, with savvy business owners jumping on board to take their branding to the next level. A personal branding photography session differs from a typical headshot/portrait session in several ways.
With headshots, the focus is simply on you, usually shot from the waist up. Headshots are incorporated into personal branding sessions, but we don’t stop there. We delve deep into not just who you are visually but telling the story of what you do and why you do it via detail shots, lifestyle shots, photos of you in action, you with your products, etc.
The possibilities are endless and each session is customized to best reflect the type of business you run and the message you wish to convey about your brand through images.
The Specialty Veterinary Clinic
These sessions are more customized than a headshot session, so there are lots of factors to consider including the location(s), outfits, branding colors your brand messaging, etc. Therefore, our pre-shoot experience will be more involved and in-depth in the pre-planning stages. We help you decide how to best translate your brand into images that you can use on social media, your website, and in advertising. Each brand is different and each session is personalized.
The Dog Trainer
These sessions differ from portrait sessions in that the output is digitally focused and the resolution of the files provided is suitable for both print (business cards, brochures, flyers, etc.) as well as the web.
You will end up investing more into this type of session than you would with a headshot session, simply because you’re getting a wider variety of images, and more time spent with planning, consulting, and finally, shooting. With these images the end goal is to help you be more profitable in your business, so think of these images as a true investment in your brand.
The Florist
Is a personal branding session right for you? How do you know if you need a personal branding session?
You should consider a personal branding session:
- If you own any kind of business.
- If you are the face of your brand and it is important for people to connect with you.
- If you wish to take your business to the next level by stepping up your visual branding.
- If you want your ads to look fresh, polished, and professional.
I am also happy to set up custom recurring packages based on what you need for your business such as seasonal products and content.
The Dog Breeder
Once you’ve set a date for your photo session, we can begin brainstorming ideas. The photos from your personal branding session are very multi-purpose. They can be used for your website, promotional materials, blogs, ads, social media, headers, banners, and more.
Planning is key to achieving your goals in an efficient manner. Knowing where and how you want to use your images will help us understand whether you’ll require vertical, horizontal, or square images for Instagram. If you will want to use text across any of your images, compositions will be planned accordingly to allow for editorial text.
We start off with a brief but detailed description of your brand and what it stands for so that we can find ways to bring this across in your images. If there are specific colors that you would like to incorporate, please let me know.
Prior to your session, you'll want to confirm any hair and makeup appointments - if you plan to color your hair, that should be done at least a week before your session. The day before your session, prepare your outfits, ensuring that they’re steamed, pressed, and on hangers. If you want to look great in your photos, make sure you are well-hydrated the day before your appointment, and be sure to go to bed early so you will look and feel well-rested.
On the day of your session, leave the rest to me, now it’s all about relaxing and enjoying the experience. I will direct you on how to pose and ensure that you get the best possible images. We’ll take a mix of lifestyle images and headshots to give your audience a better view of what you do on a daily basis. We may even take some behind-the-scenes pictures for a more personal view of what it’s like to work with you.
Choosing the Right Images
After your session, I'll cull all the images taken and present an online gallery from which you can select your favorites for retouching. Standard retouching includes blemish removal, skin smoothing, stray hair removal, clothing stain removal, teeth whitening, and eyeglass glare removal. Additional cost retouching such as braces removal and clothing wrinkle removal is priced on a per-image basis depending on the difficulty level. I'm always happy to accommodate any specific editing requests
While my branding packages do come with a specific number of images, there is always the option to purchase additional pictures if you would like. It’s best to choose a good mix of images so that you have a little bit of everything available to you. If you would like assistance in selecting the best images for your needs, that can be done in the studio where we'll review the proofing gallery together and I can give feedback on individual images.
My goal is to paint the perfect picture of what it is you do, and what sets you apart from your competition. These images will provide an important glimpse into what it would be like to work with you.
