Brand Photo Shoot Strategy & Prep for Women in Midlife

You’ve entered a new season. Your visual presence should move with you.

Midlife is not always a soft landing. Bodies change. Faces change. The world does not prepare us for that. Most women think they need to “fix” themselves before being photographed. You do not.

We work from the inside. We choose clothing that supports you. We talk through posture, breath, and how to stay present.

We go over what to wear, how to move, what story you want to express, and how to work with your photographer. Confidence builds through familiarity.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A 45-minute strategy session on Google Meet

  • A personalized shoot concept with visual direction

  • Outfits, props, and location ideas

  • Natural posing tips that help you feel at ease

  • A shot list aligned to your business needs

  • Photographer suggestions in your area

  • Photographer's briefing guide

How I Guide You

Most brand shoots focus on face-forward images. But a strong brand needs more. It needs atmosphere. Gesture. Hands in motion. Stillness. Materials. Space.

The quieter moments that say more than a smile ever could. My background in both design and photography means I understand how to build that visual story across many layers.

We create a collection of images you can use with intention, not just placeholders on a website.

    $1500 (payment plans available)

    This is a focused, one-on-one service to help you plan a brand photo shoot that reflects who you are now, without awkward poses or forced smiles. When you’re the face of your business, you know you need to show up. This is for women who may not love the spotlight, but know it’s time to be seen in a way that feels true to them.

    Here’s what’s included:

    • My Photo Shoot & Imagery Strategy Workbook — a go-to guide for planning and sourcing impactful brand imagery. This will help you reflect on your visual identity, clarify what you want to express, and get intentional about every shot.

    • A 45-minute strategy session over Google Meet to review your workbook and talk through shot ideas, outfit direction, locations, and photographer suggestions in your area, or scheduling with one of my photographers

    • A customized PDF plan sent after our session — so you walk into your shoot clear, calm, and confident.

    Ready to make your next shoot feel less intimidating and more aligned? Please fill out this form to schedule an intro chat.

  • I don’t photograph clients anymore. Instead, I guide the entire shoot strategy — from concept to shot list —so you can work confidently with any photographer.

  • Not necessarily. But having clarity around your brand identity (or working with me on that first) will make your photos more intentional and aligned.

  • You’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created this service. With clear direction and thoughtful prep, your shoot will feel more natural, grounded, and true to you.

    I’ll help you determine whether this is the right fit or point you to a better next step.
