Need Personal Branding Photography in Denver or Boulder?
We offer personal branding photography and professional headshots in Denver and the surrounding area. Let's talk!
Since 2020, the professional landscape has changed. Many of us no longer work in a traditional office, yet we still need to present ourselves as polished, professional, and confident online. That’s where personal branding photography comes in.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, a remote worker, or a creative professional, the right branding photos can set you apart in a crowded market. You need images that speak to your audience, images that show off your personality, your expertise, and the essence of your brand.
Let’s create photos that help you stand out.
What is Personal Branding Photography?
Personal branding photography is more than just a headshot. It's about creating a visual story that represents your unique brand, values, and personality. These images are designed to showcase who you are and what you offer, across all your marketing platforms—from LinkedIn profiles to your website, social media accounts, and business cards.
Why Is Personal Branding Photography Important?
Your photos are often the first impression potential clients or employers have of you. In today’s digital world, having a professional online presence is more important than ever. Personal branding photography helps you establish that presence by showing you in your best light, in a way that’s true to who you are and what you do.
Great photos don't just capture a moment—they build trust, boost credibility, and show confidence. They help you establish a connection with your audience, which is essential in today's fast-paced, virtual world. (See stills of Chef Porter below at Greenwich Restaurant on Larimer Street in Denver.)

I want this process to be easy and stress-free for you. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Schedule a Consultation
First, we’ll chat about your goals, your brand, and the kind of photos you need. You’ll tell me where you plan to use these images and how you want them to represent your brand. If you have a specific location or vibe in mind, we’ll plan for that too.

We’ll meet at your preferred location (studio or on-site) for your session. Whether it’s a headshot or a full branding session, I’ll guide you through the entire process to make you feel comfortable and confident. Don’t worry—I’ll direct you during the shoot so you can focus on being yourself.
Step 3: Editing & Retouching
Once the shoot is complete, I’ll carefully select the best images and begin retouching. You’ll receive the final images (6 or 10 or 15) within one week, fully edited and ready for use across all your platforms.
Step 4: Use Your New Images
These photos aren’t just for show—they’re tools to help you connect with your audience, attract new clients, and build your professional reputation. Use them across your LinkedIn, website, social media, business cards... Basically all your marketing and messaging channels.

FAQS
What’s the difference between a headshot and personal branding photography?
A headshot is typically a close-up photo of your face, often with a neutral background. It's great for profiles, resumes, and LinkedIn. Personal branding photography, on the other hand, goes beyond a simple headshot. It captures the full scope of who you are, what you do, and your unique personality—showcasing you in your workspace, interacting with clients, or using props that tell your brand’s story.
How should I prepare for my personal branding photoshoot?
To make sure you look your best, I recommend:
Clothing: Wear clothes that reflect your brand's personality—solid colors work best, and avoid overly busy patterns.
Makeup & Hair: Keep it natural but polished. If you have a stylist or makeup artist, feel free to bring them along.
Props: If you use certain tools or props in your work (like a laptop, books, or a product), bring them along to make your shoot more authentic.
Can I use these for my website and social media?
Yes! These photos are yours to use across all your online platforms—your website, LinkedIn, social media, email campaigns, and marketing materials. They’re designed to help you build a consistent, professional brand image everywhere you’re online.
How do I get the photos after the shoot?
Once the shoot is completed and the photos are edited, I will send you a private gallery where you can review and download your images. You’ll receive both full-resolution and web-ready versions to use across different platforms.
How much time should I set aside for my session?
It depends on the type of session. A quick headshot might take just 20–30 minutes, while a full branding shoot usually runs around 90 minutes to 2 hours... If we're shooting multiple people in a larger scale project, we'll need to plan carefully and allow more time.
How many final images will I get?
Depending on the session, you'll receive 6 to 15 fully retouched images — ready to use on your website, social media, and marketing materials.
How much does personal branding photography cost?
Every session is tailored — from a quick professional headshot to a full personal branding experience across multiple locations. I’ll walk you through the options during our initial call so we can match the session to your needs and goals. If we’re a good fit, I’ll follow up with a custom quote based on what we plan together.
