Business Portraits for Professionals
Your image on your website and online profiles is more than just a photograph; it’s a reflection of who you are and what you stand for. In today’s world, personal branding photography isn’t just a luxury — it’s a vital tool for building connections, establishing trust, and standing out in your industry.
Our approach gives you a versatile suite of photographs to use across your platforms
Whether it’s a corporate headshot for LinkedIn, a casual yet professional image for social media, or a polished portrait for your website and marketing materials, we've got you covered.
What's the difference between personal branding and headshots?
Headshots are typically simple, polished images ideal for LinkedIn and professional profiles.
Personal branding sessions go deeper, capturing a variety of looks and expressions that showcase your personality, brand identity, and expertise.
During a session, we typically take a mixture of headshots and personal branding images to ensure you have content for all of your channels and profiles.
Whether you’re a business owner, an entrepreneur, or a professional climbing the career ladder, your images should align with your values and the message you want to share with your audience.
Who needs personal branding photographs?
Personal branding photography isn’t just for influencers or CEOs. Personal branding is for anyone who is their brand — from coaches and creatives to consultants, founders, and stylish side hustlers. If you’re showing up online and want to be taken seriously, this is for you. Great personal branding allows you to attract dream clients who connect with your energy and style. It enables you to show up with confidence, consistency and clarity, whether that's for the day-to-day or the launch of something new. It means you have high-quality imagery to support your press features, awards applications, and speaking gigs. Because when your images reflect both your professionalism and personality, you're not just showing up — you're standing out.
Our personal branding sessions are about more than just a pretty picture.
They’re crafted to tell your story so your audience can feel your warmth, understand your vision, and trust you from the very beginning.
Where Should You Use Personal Branding Photos?
You'll want to use these in lots of places on your website, your homepage, about page, contact page, and services to name a few. Headshots are great for your LinkedIn and Zoom profiles, and you'll want to use some more relaxed images on your social media profiles and posts. Including a photograph in your email signature as well as in your newsletters and email marketing campaigns will help your contacts and clients build a relationship with you, even before you meet. When you want to secure a press feature, speaking engagement or other PR opportunity, having a suite of quality images available is hugely beneficial. You'll also need these images for your printed marketing materials, such as business cards and brochures, as well as book covers, blog posts, and LinkedIn articles. Once you have a curated gallery of professional, personality-filled images, you’ll be amazed at how often you reach for them.
You’ll never feel like you’re left to figure it all out on your own.
We’ll guide you through every step, ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and well-prepared.
Together, we’ll create timeless, high-quality images that reflect your professionalism, authenticity, and individuality, leaving a lasting impression wherever your brand takes you.

Our Clients Say
I hired Kirsten to help boost my business profile with more personal branding for my website. She was so lovely, professional and helped me navigate the shoot which was all very foreign to me. I was so happy the way the photos turned out. They are exactly what I was wanting for my website. I couldn’t recommend Kirsten enough. It was a great experience and fantastic results.
