Can Your Headshot Do This?

If you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, you probably need a new headshot.
But here’s the real question:

Can your headshot tell the whole story of who you are, what you do, and why it matters?
Nope…didn’t think so.

A headshot is great. It’s useful. It’s necessary.
But it’s also the bare minimum when it comes to showing up online and building a brand people actually connect with. Not to mention once you have shared it a few time in a few places it no longer stops the scroll. You need more and I can help!

That’s not my vibe and honestly, that’s not what your brand deserves. This is why I don’t just roll up with my camera bag and shove a lens in your face (and I do not trust anyone that does). You have spent so long building a brand you love and you deserve a partnership where I get to know you and what makes you unique. It is a process- please DO NOT book me if you just want a drive by headshot session because it is just not me (nd in my experience not what my clients actually need).

My Approach: Brand Storytelling First, Photos Second

Before I touch my camera, I get to know you.
Your personality. Your story- why do you do what you do and where are you going? Your goals. Your quirks. Your energy. Your vibe.
The moments that built your business.
The things that make someone say, “Yep… that’s so you.”

We collaborate. We co-create images that feel personal, intentional, and completely unique to your brand. This isn’t “stand here and smile.”
It’s storytelling.

And storytelling photography can do things a headshot simply can’t.

Let me show you what I mean.

A Headshot Can Show Your Face…

But Brand Storytelling Shows Your Presence and energy.

A headshot says, “This is what I look like.”
Brand storytelling says, “This is how it feels to work with me.”

Think:

• The way you gesture when you’re explaining something nd the way you interact with clients
• The warm, grounded energy clients feel the moment they meet you
• The details specific to you: the notebook, the colors, the rituals, the workspace
• The vibe that makes someone think, “Oh, I could trust this person”

You can’t share that in a single front-facing photo.

A Headshot Can Place You in Front of a Background…

But Brand Storytelling Places You in Your World

Where you work and how you work is part of your brand.

Brand storytelling can show:

• The texture of your studio or office
• Your tools, materials, gear, or craft
• The behind-the-scenes rhythms that make your business yours
• Your process, your environment, your magic

A headshot might show a wall.
A brand session shows your world — and invites your audience into it.

A Headshot Can Share a Moment…

Brand Storytelling Shares Your Message

What are you trying to communicate? High Energy? Confidence? Warmth? Precision? Creativity? Authority? Approachability? Fun? Healing?

Brand storytelling gives you a collection of images that speak on your behalf:

• “Here’s how I help.”
• “Here’s what matters to me.”
• “Here’s the experience you get when you work with me.”
• “Here’s why I’m different.”

Your visuals become your marketing language. Your photos start selling before a word is even spoken.

A Headshot Can Live on Your Website or Profile…

But Brand Storytelling Works Everywhere and it more diverse

You can use storytelling images for:

• Your website banner
• Email marketing/ newsletters
• Instagram/Facebook/LinendIn or other socials content
• Launch or new offer graphics
• Speaker pages
• Press features
• Reels + video b-roll
• Your email signature
• Your About page
• Offers, guides, and sales pages

One headshot can’t carry your entire brand- even if it is an amazing image.
A storytelling gallery can support you for months or even a year (I recommend a refresh session every year to keep your content fresh and my returning clients get a special refresh rate).

Here’s the Bottom Line…

If you are building a brand and business and seeking more visibility online you don’t need “just a headshot.”
You need a visual identity that shares more of your story and personality. We can make you memorable! I am not here for bending in, I actually help my clients stand out. It is about way more than just what your face looks like on a good hair day.

If you want photos that feel like you,
if you’re ready to collaborate on images that tell your brand story with confidence and clarity,
and if you want your visuals to actually work for your business…

Then you’re ready for more than a headshot.
You’re ready for brand storytelling.
