The Photos That Keep On Giving: What You’re Really Investing In With Brand Photography

When people ask me, “Is brand photography really worth the investment?” I think of Allea.

She was my very first brand client—the one who unknowingly lit the match that sparked this whole side of my business. And let me tell you… if anyone’s gotten mileage out of their photos, it’s her.

We shot her original session back in 2018 (my heart says time is fake). Regardless—those images held strong for over five years. Yes, FIVE.

She didn’t update her brand photos until 2023. Not because she forgot. Not because she didn’t need them. But because the images we created together were still relevant. Still beautiful. Still her.

And since that second session? Those updated photos have already lasted her another two years (and counting). They’re still on her homepage. Still doing their job. Still working behind the scenes—drawing people in, building trust, and supporting her business every step of the way.

But here’s the thing:

This isn’t just about pretty pictures.

This is about purpose.


When you invest in brand photography, you’re not just paying for a gallery of headshots and flatlays. You’re investing in:

  • Clarity: The kind that says, “Yes, this is who I am and how I show up.”

  • Confidence: Because when you see yourself in photos that reflect your actual magic? You use them. Everywhere.

  • Longevity: Images that aren’t tied to trends, but to you—your voice, your values, your vision.

Allea used her photos in all the right places: her email marketing, social posts, podcast graphics, onboarding materials, blog, launch content, and probably even the lock screen on her phone. Okay, I made that last one up—but honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me.

She’s the kind of client who takes her visuals seriously—not because she has to, but because she understands that good brand photography doesn’t just sit in a Canva folder collecting dust. It does the work. It becomes part of the foundation your business is built on.

And now that she’s living in Nashville, she’s ready for her next round of photos, and we may be scheming a way to get it done. (Insert internal happy dance here.)

So, if you’re wondering what you’re really investing in when you book a brand session, here’s your answer:

You’re investing in photos that give back.

Photos that last.

Photos that make your job easier and your message clearer.

Photos that aren’t just a line item—they’re a launchpad.

Photos that work just as hard as you do.

Curious what that could look like for your brand?


Let’s talk over a virtual coffee. Bring your questions, your big dreams, and maybe a favorite mug. I’ll bring the strategy and snacks (okay, just the strategy 😉).
