As soon as Jodie got a brush in her hand, all bets were off. Her body stepped right into its natural artistic rhythms, quickly moving around the art space as if no one else stood there. She wore her signature blue button-down shirt with messy handprints covering her chest in her favorite joyful color - yellow. Witnessing her in her element was like watching a flower bloom, flickering creativity in motion. Take a look at her art studio brand photoshoot in Austin, TX.

Meet Kathy of Kathyphantastic. Her personal branding session includes a glimpse into her process, her craft, and the love she brings to what she does. You also get a sense of who Kathy is as a person and artist—friendly, joyful, and encouraging.

Through her custom brand photos, the audience receives a better understanding of the work her creations entail (it helps them identify and better understand the value)— and it makes it clear who they’re supporting when they choose to shop small.

It can be hard to feel ready for your own professional branding photos, especially when you're newer to business or you've never had your own brand shoot before. But in the Austin economy, standing out in a saturated market of realtors is more important than ever -- and strategic brand photography is one of the most impactful ways to get noticed.

You've got to check out this personal brand photoshoot for Michelle, owner of Austin's first plant truck! This brand session is full of greenery, joy, and is sure to be a plant-lover's delight.

These at-home Austin brand photos are some of my favorites. Not just because I sincerely adore these two and what they're all about -- can't you just feel their love and support in these images? This is totally who they ARE-- but also because their images convey a genuine sense of welcoming and care. The photos give you a true read on who these two are as business owners and a team and they put you right at home.

Come tour a "day in the life" with this duo in their brand images below. You'll see how Holly serves her sweet clients with her awesome teammate (and Husband), AJ, and their chunky sidekick, Turbo.

How do you make the most of your Austin brand photo shoot? You know you need headshots and new website photos, but you are ready to stand out from the sea of same. You want unique Austin personal brand photography that is a true reflection of your spirit, and communicates your offering but isn’t tired and lame.

How often do I need truly new brand photos anyway? At least once a year.

Branding photography is not a one-and-done deal. As your business evolves, so do you, and so should your personal branding photos.

If you’re wondering whether to photograph your personal branding photos on location or in my Austin studio, my typical response is usually…

“Well, it depends.”

Your personal branding photo session allows us the opportunity to feature what you do, who you are, and gives your clients/customers an idea of what it would be like to work with you or purchase from you.

Taylor’s personal branding photo session, photographed on location in East Austin earlier this year, is a great example of this.
