Branding photography · Lake Charles, LA

You're NOT stock. Your photos shouldn't be either.

Relaxed, guided photo sessions for business owners in Southwest Louisiana, at your workplace or out on location, so your website and socials finally look like you.

Let's Work Together
The real problem

Your business is one of a kind. Your photos look borrowed.

What you see

Stock photos of strangers, and a profile pic that's a five-year-old selfie.

Your website could belong to any business in town.

How it feels

Kind of embarrassing, honestly.

So you dodge the camera, stop posting, and scramble when someone asks for "a good headshot" by Friday.

Why it's wrong

People want to know who they're working with. And right now they can't see you.

You don't need to be "photogenic." You just need someone who knows how to bring out the real you.

Who it's for

This is for you if...

  • You own a business, practice, or shop and you're the face of it.
  • You need real photos for your website, socials, ads, or a speaker bio.
  • You'd rather get a root canal than pose for pictures.
  • You want someone to tell you what to do with your hands.
  • You want one session that gives you photos for months, not one headshot.

Probably not for you if you just want the quickest, cheapest headshot in town. Totally fair! I like to take my time and make it fun.

Your photographer

Most people tell me, "I'm terrible in pictures."

I hear it all the time, and it's almost never true. It usually just means nobody ever showed you what to do. I've spent years helping people feel at ease, so I'll walk you through every pose, keep it light, and catch the real you in between.

We shoot where your business actually lives: your office, your shop, your kitchen, or outdoors on location around Lake Charles.

What you get

What a branding session can include

Every business is different, so every session is built around yours. Mix and match what you need:

Brand portraits

Polished headshots plus relaxed portraits that show your personality.

You at work

Candid shots of you doing what you do, with your clients, tools, or products.

Your space and details

Storefront, office, workspace, and the little details that make it yours.

Your team

Individual headshots and group photos so the whole crew matches.

Multiple outfits and locations

Switch it up so your feed doesn't look the same every week.

Optional extras

Aerial drone shots of your location, or a rented studio if you want a clean backdrop look.

No cookie-cutter packages

Your quote depends on how long we shoot, how many looks and locations, and how many photos you need. Reach out and I'll put together the right fit.

Real clients

In their own words

Google review

Brent did such a great job of helping me feel comfortable. If I'm being honest, I'm almost impossible to photograph. ... he was able to capture my energy and my personality all while putting his artistic flair on my pics.

The cost of waiting

Old photos don't shout. They just quietly cost you.

Trust

People size you up from your website before they ever call. Outdated photos quietly chip away at that first impression.

Time

Every week you spend hunting for a usable photo is a week you could've just been posting.

That "temporary" selfie

It has a funny way of becoming your face online for five more years.

No pressure. Just a nudge to finally check this one off your list.

Ready when you are

Let's make your business look like you.

Tell me what you're working on and I'll help you plan the rest. No pressure, no awkward sales pitch.

Good questions

Questions people ask before booking

I'm awkward on camera. Is that a problem?

Almost everyone says that before we start. It's rarely a problem. I'll tell you where to stand, what to do with your hands, and when to just talk. The awkward wears off faster than you'd think.

Do you have a studio?

Not currently, but you don't need one. My whole setup is mobile, so I come to you. Your office, your shop, your kitchen, or a spot around Southwest Louisiana. If a studio makes sense for your shoot, we can rent one.

What should I wear?

What you'd wear to work on a good day. Bring a second option for variety. We'll talk it through before the shoot, so you're not guessing.

How much does a branding session cost?

It depends. How long we shoot, how many looks and locations, and how many photos you need all change the number. Reach out and I'll put together a custom quote.

How soon do I get my photos?

It depends on the shoot. A quick headshot session is a lot less editing than a full day with several looks and locations. It also depends on what else is on my calendar when we book.

I don't want to hand you a number I can't keep. So when we lock in your date, I'll give you a delivery date for your photos too. I edit your photos myself and send you the finished set in a private online gallery on Pixieset, where you can download them.
