It was my 2nd time getting to capture some branding photos for the talented Emily Conley (of Emily Writes Well) and let me tell you, we covered a lot of ground in this session!
In her first branding photography session (which you can see here) we made sure to get enough visual content for her to use for her website and social media (which was fantastic)! BUT for her second branding photography session we got to capture the storylines of her business in more strategic depth:
⭐️ teaching her students
⭐️showing her office
⭐️showing more of her personality working from home
⭐️showing her personality at a coffee shop (because realistically that’s where you can find her)
⭐️ showing her personality in her outfits
⭐️ some more fun headshots
⭐️showing more behind the scenes of her business
(and so much more!)
Overall, Emily was super intentional with this session and is already using her photos for her other brand “The Wedding Copy Shop | Copywriting Templates” and I am just so proud of her for branching out to speak exclusively to wedding professionals and help them transform their copy!
I am a huge believer in being purposeful and intentional with one’s branding photos (that is why I believe that branding is an investment of time and strategic planning) and because Emily has been honing in on her business and clientele for the past 4 years, she KNOWS who she is speaking to and she is working with the BEST OF THE BEST in the industry!
I am just so proud of her and it is incredible to see how far she has come!
Here are a few of my favorite images from her branding session!
A very special thanks to Kati Edge Hair and Makeup (she was Emily’s Hair & Makeup Artist For the Session).

Your branding photos aren’t just pretty images—they’re powerful tools for growth. When you use them strategically, they work hard for your business behind the scenes.
From email to Instagram, every place you show up is an opportunity to tell your brand story, connect with your audience, and convert leads into clients.
So don’t let your gallery gather dust! Download your images, plug them into your systems, and create templates that make it easy to show up.
And if you need a little help or fresh ideas, I’m just an email away. I’d love to cheer you on, offer guidance, or even help you schedule your next brand photos session so you can keep your visuals fresh and impactful all year long.
