3 Things You Can do with Fresh Branding Images

Recently we had the opportunity to join forces with the team at Serendipity Labs to host a Happy Hour with a side of Personal Brand Portraits, and we have to say—they were AWESOME!

Each attendee got to mingle, have a snack and a drink, AND get a micro brand photography session, where they walked away with an updated branding image to use however they needed it!

Why is that such a big deal? I mean, what can you do with new brand photographs anyway?!

Branding a Software Designer: Fairport NY Branding Photography

One of the coolest things about being a branding photographer is getting to meet people from a variety of different industries. Like Marissa - a working nurse, who also designs VR software curriculum for future nurses. Talk about multi-talented!

It was so cool to learn about how the process from Marissa while we photographed her at The Hive, as well as some outdoor locations in Fairport. As you can see, taking her branding photographs was pretty easy with her award winning smile!

Personal Brand Photography for Architectural Interior Designer

Last time we worked with Trudi Smith Designs, the space we were working with only had plywood walls. She had tasked us with photographing branding portraits of her working in the space, while it was still under construction. Her goal, was to show herself as a capable architectural designer from start to finish.

Check out the blog post and her space “before” here.

So the second part of her personal branding photography session was all about the end results. We added details, and all of the final touches that went into her show room to her collection of brand photographs, along with updated portrait images for her website and beyond.

The result of her office transformation is STUNNING, to say the least. Thank you, Trudi, for welcoming us with fun and laughter throughout your personal branding portrait sessions!

Branding Photography for Engineers: Rochester NY Photographers

Kelly is a engineering consultant in Rochester NY, whose specialty is helping businesses eliminate injury and waste from static electricity.

He reached out to us in need of some personal brand photography for an upcoming magazine article he was being featured in. It was a fun and different opportunity for us to photograph!

As as a branding photographer, I know absolutely nothing about electrostatic engineering. However, I do know he made the job look great in his branding portraits!

Personal Brand Photography in Pittsford NY: Fairport NY photographers

Since our last personal brand photography session with Dr. Heather Hirsch, she’s been a very busy woman! It’s exciting not only see how she’s using her brand photographs, but also how much her exposure has grown.

Because of these many media outlets and how busy she’s gotten, Heather was in need of new branding pictures for use on social media after just six months.

(Side Note: If you’re business requires you to be posting new content on social media feeds regularly, you’ll want regular brand photo updates too!)

Check out all of the media attention she’s gotten! We’re already planning for the next round of updated photographs for her personal brand.

We’re so excited for you, Heather!

Branding Pictures for Interior Designers: Fairport NY Personal Brand Photographers

Trudi said something to the effect of “I have a room under construction and I’d like to take pictures in it for my branding portraits.”

We replied “Sounds awesome, let’s do it!”

I mean, how else do you show the world what you’re capable of as an residential interior designer, except to show yourself amidst your own construction and design work?

She’s updating her website, designing and constructing her own office / show room, and also entering into The One Room Challenge. It is a biannual event every spring and fall. Everyone with a blog, Instagram account, or TikTok can participate by registering for the event with the room or space they’re transforming.

She’s also a hands on business woman, working on designs for clients at the same time. So it’s safe to say she’s got her hands pretty full.

We’re excited to see how she uses her branding pictures along the way!

Branding Photography for Rochester NY Therapists

Voice Therapist, Gerriann Jackson of VoiceOver Speech Pathology, came to us excited about her new website. We learned that she’s colleagues with Caroline Murrah, who happens to be another brand photography client of ours! (Check out Caroline’s blog post here.)

Gerriann wanted to portray herself as a warm, inviting person, with a variety of interesting hobbies (like taking drum lessons) and a love of her family.

She used these portraits on her website and social media pages for people to learn more about who she is.

What’s great about personal brand photography is that no two sessions are ever the same. Even if our subject is in a similar field. The reason here is obvious - it’s personal!


Here's how she used her branding photographs:

Voice Therapist Brand Photography in Fairport NY

When I first met Caroline, I learned that she was a Voice Therapist in the beginning stages of beginning her own private practice.

We photographed her branding photography in Fairport, NY at a local co-working studio, in order to give her both an “on-location” approach, and a also brand photography that feels like a professional office.

She wasn’t 100% ready to launch her website yet, but she had every single bit of research and much of her brand planned out. She knew what she wanted to offer her clients, who her ideal client was and exactly what types of branding images she’d need to bring her vision to reality.

I’ll be honest, it was refreshing. There are times when we have to dig deep with a branding client to learn what there branding photography needs are. But not Caroline.

She had it all planned out, so that when it came to her personal branding photography, she was ready to go. And the results speak for themselves. We can’t wait to see how these headshots and branding portraits get used in the near future!

Personal Branding Portraits in Fairport NY: Rochester NY Photographers

A lot of times, when people think of branding portraits, they think of cute coffee shops and sipping coffee at a computer.

But branding photography for a window treatment company doesn’t fit that mold. Peggy came to us with an amazingly detailed list of photographs for branding her business.

They included everything from sewing machines to ladders. Each member of her team was photographed doing what they do best, and then we made some fun group portraits as well.

We had so much fun with them, and can’t wait to see their pictures all over their Instagram account in the near future.

Check out a few below, and meet Peggy and her team on the Instagram account: @peggymorgans

Fausts USA Karate: Fairport NY Personal Brand Photographers

Full disclosure, we’ve been members at Fausts USA Karate since 2019. Having taken classes myself and watched my child grow through the ranks has been pretty rewarding.

However, I’m pretty sure that the the last headshots they had taken were in another decade, so they were due for an update. They’ve just updated their website, and were looking to update their branding photographs rather than use stock photography, like other dojos might do.

By mixing updated portraits with candid class photographs on the pages of their website, they help potential students see themselves in the class in their minds. Branding photography takes a boring stock photograph and makes it real to a viewer. This will help Fausts, an already successful karate dojo, continue to grow and adapt in an ever changing world.

Check out some of their update photographs below, and their new website at: Fausts USA Karate

Personal Brand Photography in Rochester NY: Rochester Family Orthodontics

When was the last time you enjoyed going to the dentist? For me - it was when we went to visit Dr. Maureen Wood, and her team at Rochester Family Orthodontics. However, we weren’t there for dental work.

We spent time photographing some brand photography for their new website. Because dentists need branding pictures too!

These ladies are great people to work with, and we look forward to seeing these photograph in action soon!

Personal Branding in Rochester NY: Fairport NY Photographers

We started in 2013 with portraits with her sisters. And then we photographed her wedding in 2015, her sister’s wedding in 2016. She began her career and her family out of state, but moved back recently, quickly booking an updated family portrait, and also a personal branding session for herself.

And every time we see her, she’s like a light that draws us in. It’s easy to see why this doctor’s brand as a expert in menopause and women’s health is taking off.

We aren’t sure how she does it. Between her Women’s Health podcast, her leadership position with Midi Health and her family, she also found time to write a book, which hits shelves in June.


Check out how some of her photographs have been used:

Wait until the last photo! We know her!


Oh and did we mention that she got to meet and be on a panel with OPRAH recently?! WHHHHATTTT? (I probably should have led with that, huh?)


Honestly, we’re pretty honored to say we know and love this amazing woman. Thank you Dr. Heather Hirsch, for giving us the opportunity to showcase your brand, your way.
