More Than Just Headshots

Brand photography that shows who you are and how you work.

Brand Photography

Today’s clients are looking for a connection, not just a purchase.

Why do you choose one business over another before you’ve even worked with them?

Because you can see the people behind the business.

As a small business owner, you’re selling more than a product or service. You’re building trust. The fastest way to do that online is through clear imagery that shows who you are and how you work.

That’s where brand photography comes in.

It’s Not Just Headshots

Brand photography starts with good headshots, but it goes far beyond that.

It’s images of you doing your work, sharing your expertise, interacting with clients, and showing the real personality behind your business.

Photos that can be used across your website, social media, marketing materials, and anywhere people are deciding whether to work with you.

When people can see you, your work, and your energy, they connect with your business much faster.

If Being in Front of the Camera Feels Awkward…

A lot of people think:

• “Hiring a photographer sounds uncomfortable.”

• “No one needs to see my face.”

• “My work should speak for itself.”

But people connect with people.

And don’t worry. Most of us are not naturally comfortable in front of a camera. That’s completely normal.

Melissa (the photographer who also prefers being behind the camera) makes the process relaxed, practical, and even fun.

“I had the pleasure of working with Melissa on my professional headshots. She was quick, responsive, and supremely fun to work with. We did a combination of indoor and outdoor shots, and I was thrilled with the variety of photos she provided.

She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the final gallery of photos, which were delivered via a slick online portal for easy access and download.

I highly recommend folks check out You're A Big Deal for their photography or marketing needs.”

Questions About Brand Photography

  • Brand photography is a collection of professional images that help tell the story of your business. Unlike a traditional headshot session, brand photography includes portraits, workspace images, behind-the-scenes photos, products, services, and lifestyle images that can be used on your website, social media, email marketing, and promotional materials.

  • Probably.

    Your logo and website tell people what your business does. Brand photography helps people connect with who you are. Updated professional photos can strengthen your website, improve social media content, and create a more consistent brand experience across all of your marketing.

  • The best outfits are usually the ones you already feel comfortable and confident wearing while working with clients. We’ll discuss clothing, colors, locations, and overall goals before your session so your photos reflect your personality and brand.

  • Absolutely.

    Most of my clients are not professional models and many start the session feeling nervous. My job is to guide you through the process, help you feel comfortable, and create natural images that look like you on your best day, not a stiff corporate headshot.

  • Brand photography images can be used on your website, social media profiles, email newsletters, Google Business Profile, marketing materials, speaking engagements, press features, and other business communications. Most clients use their images across multiple platforms for years after their session.
