I think Christina is the best esthetician in Nashville. Here’s why: Her goal is to educate people to know what a “facial” is and that it can be more than just putting products on your face and making your skin look good.

Let me tell you about my favorite mini session I’ve ever done! I had been wanting to do a celebration mini session for the longest time, and it turned out to be even more fun than I imagined.

Sometimes a studio or outside is where you need to have your session, but sometimes your home can add personality and character to a shoot that you can’t get anywhere else. 

Nicole did everything right to get ready for her photoshoot! She came with several different well-planned outfit options complete with a variety of shoe choices.

When we look at the sky and sea with wonder and awe, we are recognizing the glory of God in creation. Maybe you feel that same sense of wonder when you look at your family, your fur babies, or your closest friends. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐩👯‍♀️ But do you feel that way when you look at yourself?

Jessica is an absolute gem. She cares about her trade and most importantly,  her clients. She made the process so incredibly easy and was supportive every step of the way. 

You want your images to resonate with your audience, authentically represent who you are, and give your clients an idea of what they can expect when working with you. If you’re thinking about getting branding images this year here’s a fun tip: 

Have you put off getting new headshots or new branding photos because you don’t enjoy being in pictures…especially pictures of just you?

Beautiful images aren’t just for people who love being in front of the camera. Everyone deserves to have pictures of themselves they can be proud of using that look like who they are today…even you!

One of my favorite things to do in this job is getting to travel to photograph Amber Housley’s Coterie retreat! I love getting to capture all of the joy, encouragement, and empowerment of this special community.

Sometimes in your branding session, you might want to bring a prop or two to showcase the specific work you do. For Alex and Annie, a microphone and recording light were the perfect props to highlight the fact that they’re in the podcasting industry.

Let’s talk about what’s holding you back in 2024! If you know you need new branding photos or headshots, don’t let the idea of what you “should” be like or look like in your photos hold you back. Your images need to reflect who you are today!

Melanie became a client because she attended a retreat that included a mini branding shoot.  The photo shoot was a huge selling point for her to attend the retreat because she knew she needed some branding photos taken but she was hesitant to pull the trigger on a full session just for herself. 

Not for profit organizations need professional photography too! When you hire a professional photographer shoot an event or take headshots of the staff, you are going to have beautiful images to help you tell the story of your organization. The better storytelling you do as an organization, the better visibility you will have for funding and outreach. Angie Brantley, the Director of TenThirtyFive understands this need, and I have had the pleasure of capturing images for their events several times. Keep reading for more about her story.

Cat is launching a franchising business to expand sēk Sauna Studio and needed photos for the new sēk franchising website. She reached out to Jessica McIntosh Photography to execute a large-scale branding session with professional models to capture the full spectrum of her business.

For some branding shoots, you may want to show clients using your services. If so, how do you know if you should use professional models or your friends or existing clients?
 
There are benefits to both and depending on what you need to accomplish during your session. I can help you decide which route will be the best for your project!
