The Experience with Elemental Brand Photography
A Positive Experience is Driven by Preparation
Your brand has a story. We’re here to capture it — not just photograph it.
Your brand is unique, with its own mission, journey, and personality. That’s why we don’t believe in cookie-cutter photography. Instead, we start by getting to know your brand — what drives it, what sets it apart, and who it’s meant to reach.
Once we’ve learned about you and your brand, we put together a roadmap that allows us to create imagery that’s more than just beautiful — it’s intentional. Each photo is designed to reflect your identity and elevate your products or services in a way that feels authentic and impactful.
When you work with us, you can expect:
High-quality, detail-rich visuals that align with your brand’s message
Collaborative planning that ensures your vision leads the process and every box is checked
A smooth, stress-free experience that feels more like a creative partnership than just a service
We know choosing a brand photographer is an investment, and we’re here to make sure it pays off — not only in stunning imagery, but in an experience you’ll genuinely enjoy. Let’s create photos that tell your story — and make your audience want to learn more.
We Create Captivating Visuals That Amplify Your Brands Message, Helping You Expand Your Market Reach, Stand Out From the Competition, and Build Meaningful Connections With Your Target Audience!
Consultation
The first step in our process is a no-pressure consultation — a phone call where we get to know you and your brand a little better. We want to hear your story: how your brand began, the journey you’ve taken, your mission, and your vision for the future.
We’ll also take a moment to introduce ourselves and walk you through how our process works — so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you work with us.
By the end of the call, our goal is to understand who your brand is and what you’re looking for, so we can create visuals that truly reflect your story and are exactly what you need. After our chat, we’ll put together a couple of custom package options tailored to meet your needs, complete with pricing — making it easy for you to choose what fits best.

Proposal
After our consultation, we’ll craft a couple of package options tailored specifically to what we discussed. Each proposal is customized to fit exactly what you need—no generic bundles or unnecessary extras. That’s why you won’t find pre-made packages on our website: we believe you should only pay for what actually benefits your brand. Once your custom proposal is ready, we’ll send it over for your review. This process typically takes no more than 48 hours, and we’ll confirm your specific timeline during the consultation.
Planning + Preparation
Once you’ve selected the photo package that fits your needs, we move into the planning stage — where the real creative magic begins.
This is our first deep-dive into the details. We’ll start crafting a visual storyboard tailored to your brand, putting together everything we need to set your shoot up for success. That means building a thoughtful shot list, outlining composition notes, designing a styleboard, and even coordinating props and styling — all to ensure that no detail is missed on shoot day.
During this phase, you’ll hear from us regularly — we want your input to help shape the direction, make sure we’re aligned with your vision, and ensure the story you want to tell comes through clearly in every shot.
Our goal is not only to create images that speak to your brand — but also to take the pressure off you during the shoot. With thoughtful preparation and clear communication, we aim to make the process smooth, collaborative, and stress-free from start to finish.
The Shoot
This is what it all comes down to — the day we bring your brand story to life.
Thanks to the planning and prep we’ve done together, we’ll arrive on location fully ready to execute the vision. From the shot list to the styleboard, every detail is in place so you can feel confident and excited heading into the shoot.
Shoot day is all about bringing the vision to life — but it’s also about creating a great experience for you. We aim to keep things relaxed, collaborative, and fun, while making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. With a clear plan in place, you won’t have to worry about the details — we’ve got it covered.
The result? A stress-free, enjoyable session — and brand images that are exactly what you need to tell your story with confidence.
Delivery
After your shoot, we’ll walk you through the timeline so you know exactly what to expect and when to expect it. We understand how important these images are to your brand — and we’re just as excited for you to start using them! Once your photos are carefully edited, we’ll deliver a secure and personalized digital album where you can easily view and download your images whenever you want.
Share, Share, Share!
Congratulations, your brand’s story is now beautifully captured in photos that truly represent who you are! It’s time to take those stunning images and share them on the platforms where they’ll make the most impact. Share your images and watch as they set you apart from your competition, create new and meaningful connections, and catapult your reach to new heights!

The 10 Services You ALWAYS Get!
We never show up to a photoshoot unprepared—there’s simply too much at stake. From missing a crucial shot and realizing it too late, to appearing unorganized and wasting valuable time, we make sure everything is meticulously planned. That’s why every photoshoot includes all the necessary elements listed below. We collaborate directly with you to gather your feedback and ensure everything aligns perfectly with your brand. Our goal is to have you feeling confident and stress-free, ready for a fun, smooth experience on shoot day.
1. The Shotlist
A detailed plan outlining every photo we will capture during our photoshoot, ensuring that nothing important is missed and that the session runs smoothly and efficiently. This will be thoughtfully curated to align with your brand’s goals, aesthetics, and content needs. In it, you will receive a clear breakdown of each shot, including the setting, subject, style, and any specific props or poses required. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect ahead of shoot day and can feel confident that we’re capturing the visuals that truly represent your brand and tell your unique story.
2. Moodboard + Styleboard
Curated visual document that sets the tone and aesthetic direction for your brand photoshoot. It includes inspiration shots, color palettes, textures, and style references that reflect your brand’s personality and the overall vibe you want to capture. We create a custom moodboard + styleboard just for you, based on your brand values, target audience, and creative goals. This ensures we’re all aligned creatively and helps bring your brand’s vision to life with clarity and intention.
3. Composition + Framing Notes
Detailed guidelines that outline how each image should be visually structured to best represent your brand. This includes decisions about camera angles, subject placement, spacing, negative space, and how elements are arranged within the frame. You’ll receive clear and intentional composition and framing notes as part of your shoot planning, ensuring your images are not only beautiful but also functional for what you need them for — whether they’re meant for your website banner, social media, or marketing materials.
4. Prop List
A curated list of items that will be used during your brand photoshoot to enhance the visual storytelling and reinforce your brand identity. Props can include anything from office supplies and product packaging to lifestyle items and personal touches that reflect your business’s aesthetics and values.
We’ll provide a customized prop list tailored for your shoot, complete with suggestions on what to bring, sourcing tips, and how each item will be used so that photos come out feeling authentic, cohesive, and aligned with your brand’s message – leaving you with a polished and intentional final gallery.
5. Wardrobe Styling Resource
A resource designed to help you choose outfits and accessories that align with your brand’s aesthetic and photograph beautifully. We will include guidance on colors, textures, fits, and combinations that work well on camera.
6. Location Scouting Resource
Detailed insights and recommendations about where your brand photoshoot can take place, ensuring the setting aligns perfectly with your brand’s story, style, and goals. These notes cover lighting, background variety, ambiance, and practical factors like accessibility and space. The guide will help you select the perfect location or locations for your photoshoot and help you feel prepared and confident that every location you choose will complement and enhance your final images.
7. Releases
These legal documents grant permission for the use of images, ensuring that both the photographer and the client have the necessary rights to use the photos. This includes model releases, location releases, and property releases, which confirm that all parties involved have agreed to the use of their likeness or property in the photos.
We’ll handle the gathering of all the necessary release forms tailored to your shoot. These forms ensure that you have the proper permissions to use the images in any way you choose, protecting both your brand and our work legally. We make the process simple, ensuring all releases are signed and clear before your shoot begins.
8. Schedule Timeline
A detailed plan that outlines how your photoshoot day will unfold, ensuring everything runs smoothly, stays on track, and maximizes our time together. It includes a breakdown of the shoot by time blocks — such as setup, outfit changes, location transitions, and specific shot groupings — so you know exactly what to expect and when.
You’ll receive a customized shoot schedule tailored to your goals, locations, and energy flow. This helps keep the experience stress-free, organized, and efficient, while allowing room for creativity and natural moments throughout the session.
9. The Sneak Peak
Yes, you’ll receive a full collection of images — but great editing takes time! We know how excited you are to share your new photos on your website, blog, social media, or just with friends and family.
That’s why we provide a sneak peek of a few of your favorite edited shots shortly after your session. This gives you the opportunity to have beautiful images to share while the full gallery is being finalized!
10. Your Final Images
What’s the point of a photoshoot if you don’t get pictures? While we strive to get every image perfect in camera, there’s always some minor adjustments to really make them POP! So, of course this service is included with every photoshoot, and includes minor adjustments such as color correction, exposure adjustments, cropping and straightening, sharpening and clarity, and even some minor blemish removal if necessary. By the time your images are delivered, they will really emphasize your brand’s story and aesthetics!
You’ll receive an email when the edits are complete, which will have access for you to a pinterest-like gallery private to you, where you can browse, download, share, and like all your final images!
Tailored to You. Built for Impact. Our visuals reflect who you are, what you do, and why it matters.
