Lifestyle branding FAQs.
Every project is tailored, but these are the questions clients most often ask before we begin.
What is lifestyle branding photography?
It is a planned collection of portraits and story-driven images showing who you are, how you work and what your business feels like. Unlike a single headshot, the finished gallery is designed to give you visual variety across your website, social media, press and marketing.
Should I choose personal or team branding?
Personal Branding Photography is designed for founders, creatives and one- or two-person businesses. Team Branding Photography is built for groups of three to ten and includes a broader mix of individual, paired, group and workplace imagery. Larger teams are custom quoted.
Can we shoot in the studio or on location?
Yes. The studio gives us a controlled, highly crafted environment, while your office, home or an Austin location can add context and personality. We will recommend the best option—or combination of options—during planning. A complimentary location scout is available when an on-site project requires one.
Do you provide hair, makeup or wardrobe styling?
Professional hair and makeup is recommended for many branding projects and can be added to your quote. Wardrobe guidance is included during pre-production, and a dedicated stylist can also be arranged when the scope calls for one.
How many final images will I receive?
The final image count is based on the scope and intended uses of your project and will be stated clearly in your quote. You will choose from a private gallery of lightly edited, color-corrected proofs. Additional retouching and a web-resolution full-gallery purchase are also available.
What usage is included?
Delivered images include standard usage for your own website, organic social media, press materials and company marketing. Paid advertising, book covers, product packaging, resale and licensing to third parties require a separate agreement and quote.
How quickly will we receive the photographs?
Final retouched images are typically delivered within 7–14 business days after selections are received. Rush delivery can be added when scheduling allows.
