Testimonials

Samantha recently photographed our company's employees...headshots for everyone. She did a wonderful job! She's kind, easy to work with, and very accommodating! The photos came out great!

Emily Lewis

I won the Entrepreneur Headshot Collection during a business summit and was super excited (and a little nervous) to have a photoshoot with Samantha. She was professional and fun and made it so easy to relax and smile. She made the whole process fun and the photos turned out amazing! We did a couple of different looks and lots of poses and she captured a variety of smiles and a couple of laughs. They are so good! I can't wait to use them when promoting my business!

Stephanie Breckbill

Samantha worked with us to get some great website photos. She traveled with us to multiple sites around Denver to get us the best pictures possible. She even made me look good, which is a feat in and of itself. I would recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pictures.

I am Samantha a personal brand photographer & visual marketing guru. I may not know you yet, but I bet I already know you better than you think.

I know that you do your best every day for your business and your family.

I know that you are ready to take your business to the next level which means you are ready to invest in yourself and your marketing so you can be seen online.

You are amazing at helping others shine but when it comes to being in the spotlight yourself it is hard to take your own advice which is why I would be willing to bet that you would rather do anything other than be in front of a camera.

And I know without a doubt that you believe anytime is coffee time.
(ok that last one may just be me.)

Are you ready to show the world your true, awesome, authentic self?

Do you need a branding session?

Are you asking yourself if this is the solution you have been waiting for?

I know that would be.

If you have not guessed yet a branding photography session is so much more than a headshot.

Like a headshot it's these images will determine someone's first impression of you.

A brand session is also stylized product photography, lifestyle portraits, custom and authentic stock images, and environmental images.

Basically, it is what your brand needs to show who you are, what you do, and how you do it.

There are many reasons to consider a brand photography session and even more ways to use them.

Some of my clients are go-getters who always need more photos for their product and service launches.

Others have a key project – a rebrand, a book launch, or the roll-out of a new program, - that’s driving their desire to have high-quality brand visuals.

Many work with me because they know that beautiful photos will positively impact how their audience feels about their brand.

Does any of that sound like you?

A brand is defined by....

what people say about it. The visuals you use will shape how people feel about your brand and will tell your brand story. A great brand story helps you connect with your clients creating loyal customers and raving fans.

If someone finds you online first, like most of us do, how they perceive your brand will be based on what they see and the feelings that your band causes.

This means that often you are not the only one telling people your brand story the imagery you have chosen to represent your brand is doing that for you.

Brand Imagery is the aesthetic appearance of your brand's core message. When you use beautiful on-brand imagery in combination with your brand messaging you build connection & brand awareness. Done right your audience will feel connected and have powerful feelings of loyalty when they encounter your brand imagery.

This is especially important when there is no opportunity to touch, smell, or taste something.

Do you want to....

Create real connections.

Elevate your brand's reach.

Capture your unique story.

Build a community

FAQs

Where can I see more examples of your work?

Click Here to view my headshot portfolio.

What does a portrait collection include?

No matter which collection you choose you will receive:

Professional retouching on all final images. That means the ones that make the cut because we will take a lot.
The minimum number of images included in that collection in a full resolution jpeg format and often the option to purchase more.
The usage rights to use both personally & commercially.

When do I pay?

Payment is due at the time of booking to secure your session date and time.

Which location are best?

I can come to your office, local park or other location of your choosing.

I also offer headshots at my in-home studio located in Thornton.

I will work with you on picking out location/s based on your goals.

Lighting is key so we will need to consider the light in the location and the time of day you are booking your session for.

Some locations require rentals or use permits that I am happy to obtain but may come at an additional cost to you.

Will you come to my office or location of choice?

Absolutely. Whether you are in the Denver metro area or further out, I am happy to accommodate you. I have gone across the country for clients before.

My studio is in Thornton Colorado, any location more than 30 minutes from there may require travel fees.

These fees will be discussed with you before the shoot details are confirmed.

Can I split the session with a friend?

Absolutely you can split a headshot session if you like to add a person to your headshot session it is an additional $100.00.

Bring a co-worker, family member or best friend and share your time. Final images will be determined by the photographer and may not be evenly split.

When will I get my images?

Normal processing takes 14 to 21 business days. During peak seasons it may take longer and I will advise you at the session on what to expect.

Can I get the images faster?

If you need them faster you can request a rush process and receive them within five business days. Rush editing and processing is $75.00.

Do you edit my images?

Yes. Images are professionally retouched. I will edit some creative elements as well with adjustments like cropping, straightening, color tones, exposure, and sharpening.

Retouching is limited to unnatural or temporary issues (acne for example) Additional edits such as, removing significant blemishes, or changing something permanent to the image are priced separately.

How are my images delivered?

You will receive an email from me with a link to your personal online gallery. From there you can download your digitals, order prints and even create photo gifts.

What happens if I need to cancel?

You can reschedule your session, without a fee, when 72-hour advanced notice is given. A $50.00 fee will be charged for sessions rescheduled with less than 72 hours of the shoot.

In the event, you need to cancel a full refund will be given when the session has been canceled a minimum of 30 days in advance, 11 to 29 days in advance I will refund 50% of your session.

No refund will be issued if you cancel with less than 10 days' notice.

Can I get a last-minute booking?

I recommend booking your shoot no less than 72 hours in advance, this is to give you time to prep for your shoot but if you need it now, contact me and I will see what I can do to help.

Can I get shots with a white background?

Yes, white is available along with other solid colors that make it easy to remove the background for marketing materials. Ask about current studio backdrops that are available.

What is the best time of day to book my session?

In general if we are shooting outside then in the golden hour- that is the hour before sunset is best. Indoors I prefer to shoot between 11 am and 3 pm for good natural lighting.

Do you have any tips on preparing for the session?

Yes! You will get an email from me with excellent prep information once you confirm your session.

And more importantly, I will guide you every step of the way. I understand that being in front of the camera may not really your thing. It is more common than you think for clients to say things like:

"I am not used to this”
“I hate having my picture taken”
“I am not photogenic”
“I have no idea what to do”

It is ok, l will help you make a great first and lasting impression. You may even find yourself having a good time.

Do you do hair and makeup?

Sorry, I do not, but what a great excuse to treat yourself to a hair blowout before your session. I can help arrange hair and make-up in advance of the session is booked at least 3 weeks in advance.

Can I make changes to the images.

Yes! I believe you should be able to edit as a need to suit your business needs so my commercial release does include the right to make edits without my permission.

Can I have the original files?

No. I will review all images and only keep the good ones. I will then process them and give you the images that meet the goals of the session. I will only provide you with the final images. I maintain all copyrights and will likely use the images for my own marketing.

If you need support with social media marketing, let's chat and soon!

You don't want to be missing out on the opportunities available to your business.

Did you know I offer social media marketing coaching services?

Wondering why a photographer would do that?

When it comes to marketing your business having great images is a wonderful start but once you have the photos you have to use them. I have found many entrepreneurs struggle with their social media presence even with great content.

I have the knowledge and experience to help, I would love to share it with you too!
