Showing up online as a camera-shy creative can feel vulnerable, draining, and honestly a little impossible. But marketing a creative small business as a solopreneur requires you to be seen.
Businesses that share their story and include photos of their face can see a 95% increase in conversions and sales.
If being visible feels massively uncomfortable, like an itchy sweater or (insert your personal sensory nightmare here), it can seem far-fetched to imagine connecting authentically with clients that see the magic within your products or services without triggering camera-phobia.
You and I both know your dreamy did-we-just-become-best-friends clients are out there, just waiting to find you and hire you to change their lives!
By hiring me for your Branding Photography session, you can feel safe and authentic being seen online.
You’ll be able to connect with your clients on a deeper level, showing off who you are and what sets you apart from your competition without having to perform extroversion or trying to be something you’re not.

“Having your picture taken is a nerve-wracking experience for most of us, and Laura did SUCH a good job of walking me through what to expect step-by-step, and taking care around my insecurities without ever letting me get wrapped up in them.”
You could work with me one-on-one for a strategic and carefully curated library of images that captures exactly what you do and how you do it, while also subtly showcasing important facets of your personality and your core values to magnetically attract your perfect clients.
or!
Spend hours trying to get good photos on your phone with help from a friend or from self-timer *shudder*.
Scour stock image websites for photos that attempt to capture your vibe and personality, frustrated at the lack of diversity and the amount of images you’ve seen already in use by your competition.
Keep following marketing advice made for extroverts and be left feeling unsafe, burnt out, and vulnerable, draining your social battery and leaving you without enough energy to serve your clients well.

You can connect with the clients of your dreams without needing to post your face all over the internet.
I’m a highly-sensitive, neurodivergent, self-conscious introvert that understands how it feels, and can help you be witnessed in a way you never thought possible.

By showing off:
You don’t need to constantly show the world your face to show up effectively online. Even the most shy, camera-phobic person can market their business successfully with the right imagery!
The folks who know that magic is made behind the scenes and who want their work to take center stage.
The quiet powerhouses who are doing it differently and transforming lives.
The creative small business owners who are ready to grow into a new phase of doing business.

You should be seen in your brand images so people can connect with you. HOWEVER, we are not here to take the traditional headshots or the usual influencer content you see online. Your face doesn’t have to be the center of every image in order to capture your energy! We lead with your work and how you do it, and then we gently work our way to capturing YOU, the heart of your business. And I promise, the camera isn’t as scary once we get in the flow of things! I’m here to support you throughout the WHOLE process so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands. I will guide you through gestures and prompts to keep you moving and keep your mind off my camera, and on the power of your work. We’ll play music, dance around, be silly, have snacks, and take breaks as needed! Every session is different, and I’ll work to accommodate your needs and meet you where you are.
Be prepared to spend at least 3 weeks working on your shoot prep! This includes things like strategy and vision planning, completing your questionnaire, searching for locations, gathering props, wardrobe, etc. This can be an intensive process, so don’t expect to zoom through it in one sitting! And don’t worry, I’m here with you through the whole process to take you step by step. The clearer your brand’s vibe is, the simpler and more genuine this process will be!
I always tailor my shooting strategy to suit my client’s vibe and energy! This includes my use of lighting, composition, and posing! However, my editing style remains the same. You can see this in action throughout the images throughout this page!
You must have a clear brand identity and voice before we can capture brand images that will do the heavy lifting for you. Do you know who you are trying to sell to? Do you know what sets you apart from others who do or sell the same thing as you? Are you clear on why you are in business? If you can’t answer those three questions, you may not be ready for a brand shoot just yet. If you’re in the middle of a rebrand or developing your branding for the first time, complete that process before hiring me! Brand photography is only effective if your brand is clearly defined, so tackle that first and then come to me!
YES! At no additional cost, you can split your package into 2-5 payments and pay over time! $100 is required to save the date on my calendar, and at least 50% of the package must be paid by the day of the shoot. I also take on 1-2 community-assisted brand sessions a year to help small business owners who may be struggling financially get the brand session of their dreams! If you’re interested in applying, send me an email at hello@laurajquintero.com with the subject line “Dreaming of a brand shoot.”
