Personal Branding session in studio + outdoor – Walnut Creek photo studio

Personal Branding session in studio + outdoor - Walnut Creek photo studio Personal branding sessions are all about capturing the essence of who you are—both professionally and personally—and Jen’s recent session at my Walnut Creek studio was the perfect example of this! Jen wanted a fresh set of photos reflecting her professionalism and charisma for her business headshots and dating profile. We created various looks with three carefully chosen outfits to show off her multifaceted personality. We started a photo session in the studio and then headed to downtown Walnut Creek for a more casual and fun look! It was such a joy to work with Jen and help her build a portfolio of images that truly reflects her dynamic personality. Whether for work or personal life, these photos tell her story beautifully. Thank you, Jen, for trusting me with your vision! See more sample images of women's portraits here:   For more info and package info, please send me a note through the " Contact me" page!
