01
The introduction portrait
A clear image for your bio, professional profile, or press request. Decide on the tone and background in the context of the audience who will see it.
Personal branding photography · NYC
Photos with a place in your business.
Your website needs more than the same headshot in every section. Plan a small, coherent library of portraits, working scenes, and details around the pages, offers, and channels you actually use.
Sessions from $450
Start with an inquiry. Confirm the photographer, scope, and date before booking.
Choose the scope that fits
A clear starting point for your session.
For consultants, founders, independent professionals, authors, and creators whose work is closely connected to their name.
Confirm the final scope and quote before booking. Studio or venue rental, permits, styling, extra retouching, video, and extended usage are scoped separately where needed.
What we plan together
Give each image a destination before the shoot.
Bring your website or draft layout, a short description of your work, and the channels that need new imagery. We plan the photographs around those uses instead of producing a gallery that has nowhere to go.
02
The work in context
Show the way you deliver your service: reviewing a document, creating something, presenting, or working in your own space. Use real tasks and protect confidential information.
03
The website-wide frame
Leave room for a headline or another layout element when the design calls for it. Discuss horizontal and vertical uses before the camera is in position.
04
The useful supporting detail
Tools, hands, materials, and environment can support a service explanation. These images should help a visitor understand what you do rather than fill a page with generic props.
A setting that earns its place in the plan.
Choose the location around the photographs you need. A compact route leaves more time for working through the shot list. Indoor venues, studio access, and permits must be confirmed before the session.
Your office or workspace
Often the most relevant setting for work-related photographs. Share access, room size, lighting, and any restrictions before the session.
See planning detailsA neighborhood setting
Useful for a more informal portrait when that fits the brand. Keep the route close to the main setup so travel does not take over the session.
See planning detailsA separately booked studio
An option when a specific background or controlled setup is needed. Discuss rental, access, equipment, and costs as part of the quote.
See planning detailsBring a little direction. We’ll work out the details.
A page-by-page list
Note where each image will appear, the desired orientation, and whether text needs to sit beside or over it. Include upcoming press or launch needs.
Real objects and useful outfits
Bring materials that belong to your work and clothing that fits the tone of the final pages. Remove personal or client information from anything visible.
A clear usage request
Name the websites, organic social channels, press uses, and any advertising plans. Usage, delivery timing, and the scope of retouching should be agreed before booking.
What happens after you inquire?
- 1. Confirm the brief. Share your goal, rough date, and the package you are considering. We clarify the scope and availability.
- 2. Review the photographer. Ask to see relevant work and discuss setting, approach, final files, and delivery timing.
- 3. Agree before booking. Confirm the written scope, quote, usage, payment terms, and any separate costs before securing the date.
The optional $100 priority deposit after intake is credited toward the session but does not reserve a date by itself. A date is secured only after availability, scope, the booking agreement, and the required booking retainer are confirmed in writing.
Questions before you book.
How is this different from a headshot?
A headshot session focuses on portraits. A branding session plans a wider library around your work, website, and communications. If you only need one portrait, a headshot session may be enough.
Are business strategy and website design included?
No. We use your existing positioning and page needs to plan photographs. Business consulting, copywriting, design, and publishing are separate services.
Can my team join?
Tell us the headcount and required images. These listed sessions are a starting point for an individual; a team session needs a separate scope and may use corporate pricing.
Will brand photography increase sales?
We cannot promise a revenue or conversion lift. A useful goal is a coherent library that you can actually publish. Track what gets used and what still needs to be photographed.
When will I receive the photographs?
Agree on the delivery date, selection process, and editing scope before booking. Mention a launch or application deadline in your inquiry so rush availability and any additional charge can be discussed.
What usage is included?
Consumer packages include personal use, while headshot and model packages include professional self-promotion. Business packages can include website, organic social, recruiting, sales, press, and internal use. Paid advertising, outdoor campaigns, resale, and third-party use are licensed separately.
Tell us what the photos need to do.
A short note and a rough date are enough to start. We can discuss the right scope before you choose a session.
