Branding Photos for Better By Dr. Brooke - NYC Branding Photographer

I’ve had the distinct pleasure to photograph Dr. Brooke Kalanick several times to capture purposeful branded images for her business use. Dr. Brooke Kalanick, of Better By Dr. Brooke, is an expert in female health, hypothyroidism and autoimmunity with specialties in PCOS, Hashimoto’s, menopause and weight loss.

Photography Branding Session in the California High Desert - Brooklyn Brand Photographer

I recently got the opportunity to travel to Joshua Tree for a once in a lifetime branding photography session with a fellow photographer Sarah Jean Price. When invited….go right?!?

These branding photos perfectly capture Sarah’s personality - fun, vibrant, spunky, up for anything! These images are so on-brand for who she is…that her ideal client will be easily attracted to want to work with her! Sarah can use these images in her marketing materials (think website, e-newsletters, instagram, etc.) which will enable her to send out a cohesive visual message to the public. With these purposeful, personality-filled branding images, Sarah’s photography business will grow. And that is the goal of a branding photography session.

I can’t wait to get an update on her much deserved success!

Orisha of "Fearlessly Sexy" gets a Personal Branding Upgrade - NYC Branding Photographer

Last week I got to photograph this amazing woman Orisha Lampkin. She teaches her clients to feel "Fearlessly Sexy" by learning to be truly connected to their body and spirit. Through her teachings, confidence and boldness quickly grow as well as physical strength.

Orisha Lampkin helps to reframe her clients' mindsets and helps them to explore all the positive changes that will emerge from engaging in self-care and a healthy lifestyle.  

And WOW - I would love to move like her! I got such a joy in photographing her in her happiest state of mind + body.

This is a perfect example of what a Branding Session is.  

Personal Branding Photography is a way to market yourself authentically and to make a connection to your prospective clients.  

Personal Branding sessions are more involved, incorporating environments and props to tell the “who, what and why” of your brand.

It goes beyond a traditional headshot and, instead, the catalogue of images show what it feels like to work with you as a business owner/service provider.

Now Orisha will be able to use her new branding images for all of her marketing needs. And her potential clients will see what joy she has for her profession and how it would feel to work with her.

NYC Ladies - she's local and has a beautiful soul.  Reach out!  You won't be disappointed.
