Branding & Headshot Photography FAQs

What’s the difference between a standard headshot and branding photography?

A headshot is a professional portrait typically used for LinkedIn, company websites, or marketing materials. Branding photography goes further—it captures you, your team, or your business in action. This style of photography helps create a consistent brand image for your website, social media, and advertising campaigns, positioning you as approachable, trustworthy, and professional.

How should I prepare for a branding or headshot session?

Choose clothing that reflects your personal or corporate brand—well-fitted, professional, and in colors that complement your industry image. Consider grooming, hair, or makeup beforehand. During the shoot, we’ll guide you through natural posing and professional lighting so your photos feel confident and authentic. Our goal is to create images that strengthen your personal or business brand both online and offline.

What is your turnaround time?

Typically you will receive a link to your online gallery within 24-48 hours after your photoshoot. Once you choose the images you want, we will send the final retouched images within 48 hours.

Are the photos retouched?

Yes—every photo is carefully edited to ensure polished, professional results. For headshots and branding portraits, we use natural retouching that enhances your look without making images appear over-edited.

Do I own the photos after the shoot?

Yes—You receive full commercial usage rights for the images. This means you can use them across your website, e-commerce platforms, social media, advertising, and print materials without restrictions.

Do I need to be local to work with you?

Not at all! We offer on-location commercial and branding shoots for businesses in the Seattle/Tacoma area and beyond.
