What goes in a branding set
The package includes a headshot plus environmental frames. These are the standard frame types, and I plan the mix with you.
| Frame | What it shows | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Headshot | A tight head-and-shoulders frame with a clear face. | Profiles, bios, email signatures |
| Half-body | You from the waist up, with room to breathe. | Website about pages, articles |
| Environmental | You in your own space or a place that fits your work. | Home page, press, social posts |
Who it suits
Personal branding suits founders, consultants, coaches, realtors and creators who sell themselves along with the work.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much do headshots cost?
The Professional is $250 for 2 retouched images. The Personal Brand is $395 for 5. On-site team headshots are $150 per person, $1,200 for a half day or $2,200 for a full day. Prices are before tax, and the quote builder adds travel and tax for your exact total.
When do I get my headshots?
Two days after the session, in a private online gallery. The link comes by email, and every retouched image is ready to download, share and print. If you need them the next morning, rush delivery is an option. Tell me about any deadline, such as a new job or a launch, when you book.
What is an environmental frame?
An environmental frame shows you in a place that says something about your work, such as an office, a shop or a studio you rent. The Personal Brand lists a headshot plus an environmental frame. Tell me the place before the day and I plan the looks and the light around it.
Can I use brand photos on my website and in print?
Yes. Every session includes a print release, so you may use the images on your website, on social profiles, in press kits and in print. The photographer keeps the copyright. That is general information, not legal advice. If you plan a large ad campaign, ask me before you book.
How do I choose between The Professional and The Personal Brand?
Choose The Professional if you need one strong profile photo. Choose The Personal Brand if you need a set for a website, an About page and social posts, with two or three looks and an environmental frame. The session quiz compares both for your town in about a minute.
