What kinds of branding photography do you offer?

As a Maine branding photographer, I specialize in natural-light, editorial-style sessions for small businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs. I offer:

• Lifestyle brand portraits

• Workspace and behind-the-scenes imagery

• Social media and website visuals

• Product photography with a storytelling approach

Each session is tailored to highlight your unique personality, purpose, and brand identity.

Where do branding sessions take place?

I photograph clients throughout Maine—including Freeport, Portland, Brunswick, and the Midcoast. Sessions can take place:

• At your business or home studio

• Outdoors in a scenic location

• In a rented space or café that matches your brand style

As a local Maine branding photographer, I help scout locations that visually support your goals.

How far in advance should I book?

Most clients book 2–6 weeks in advance. If you’re launching a new service, building a website, or planning a seasonal campaign, get in touch early so we can schedule a session that fits your timeline.

What should I wear for my branding session?

Your outfit should reflect your brand’s voice and aesthetic. I recommend:

• 2–3 outfit changes

• Neutral or brand-aligned colors

• Layers, textures, and accessories

I offer personalized wardrobe tips during our planning call to help you look and feel your best.

Do you offer custom packages?

Yes. Every brand is different, and so are your photography needs. I create custom packages based on your goals—whether you need a one-time session or ongoing content creation. Options may include:

• Personal brand portraits

• Quarterly content updates

• Product and lifestyle photography

Will I receive high-resolution images?

Yes! You'll receive:

• High-resolution files for print

• Web-optimized images for your website and social platforms

• A private online gallery with download options

Everything is formatted and delivered with ease of use in mind.

When will I receive my images?

You’ll get a preview within a few days. Full edited galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Expedited delivery is available if you’re working on a tight deadline.

Do you help with creative direction or posing?

Absolutely. As your Maine branding photographer, I guide you through every part of the shoot with gentle prompts and creative direction. The experience is relaxed and collaborative—no stiff posing required.

Do you photograph product-based businesses?

Yes! I work with makers, wellness brands, shops, and creatives to capture:

• Styled flat lays

• Products in use

• Process and detail shots

• Creator portraits

Sessions often combine product and personal brand storytelling to fully represent your work.

What if I’ve never done a branding shoot before?

That’s totally fine—most of my clients are new to this. I walk you through the entire process, from planning to posing. You’ll feel supported, confident, and clear every step of the way.
