Why Every Creative + Small Business Owner Needs Fresh Brand Photos in 2026

Calling all creatives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners — this one’s for you!

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I really need to update my website photos…” or “My LinkedIn headshot is from 2018…” or “Everyone else has these amazing behind-the-scenes photos - I want that too!”
…this is your sign.

The new year is coming, your business is growing, and your online presence deserves to keep up. Whether you're ready for a full brand session or just want to snag a quick hit of confidence with a mini headshot session, I’ve got you covered.

Why Brand Photos Matter More Than Ever

As a Seattle branding photographer, I’ve worked with dozens of creatives and business owners — from therapists and chefs to realtors, fitness pros, authors, consultants, artists, dentists, designers, and more.

And one thing is always true:
First impressions online matter. A lot.

Your audience wants to know who they’re hiring. Your website, About page, Instagram, and marketing materials should show your personality, your space, your craft, and the heart of what you do.

High-quality brand photos help you:

  • Build trust instantly

  • Stand out in a crowded market

  • Tell your story in a way that feels genuine and compelling

  • Create consistent content for all your platforms

  • Look professional, confident, and approachable

Your creativity and passion are your superpower - and it deserves to be showcased beautifully.

Introducing: Full Brand Sessions (Now with BTS/B-Roll Video!)

If you’re ready to level up your entire online presence, a full brand session is the way to go.

During our time together, we’ll capture:

  • Natural headshots

  • Lifestyle portraits

  • Workspace & tools

  • Action shots of you doing your thing

  • Behind-the-scenes moments

  • Social-media-ready imagery that feels personal and real

New for 2026: I’m now including short BTS/B-roll videos in every full branding session!
I’ll shoot at least five <30-second videos (on iPhone) you can use for:

  • Reels

  • TikToks

  • Website banners

  • Email headers

  • Behind-the-scenes content

  • Client funnels

You’ve seen other business owners crushing it with these - now it’s your turn.
