When I say Quincey brought the vision—I mean it. From the first time we connected, I knew this session was going to be something special. As a Kansas City branding photographer, my favorite projects always start with one thing: a clear sense of identity. Quincey knew who she was, what her brand stood for, and the exact vibe she wanted to bring to life. My job? Help her make it real.
And let me tell you—we did that.
Why Vision Matters in Personal Branding Photography
Let’s be real: your headshots and brand photos are more than just “nice pics for your website.” They’re how your future clients connect with you. They’re your digital first impression. And when you’re clear on your business values and aesthetic, everything falls into place.
Quincey is an esthetician based in Kansas City, but she didn’t want the usual spa-style imagery we’ve all seen before—soft robes, facial steam, white towels. She came to her session with a lifestyle-forward concept, one that felt grounded, fresh, and true to who she is both inside and outside her studio.
Spoiler alert: it turned out amazing.
Creating Lifestyle Branding Photos in Kansas City: Local Vibes Only
To bring Quincey’s personal brand to life, we did something I always encourage with my branding clients: we went hyper-local. Think: your actual day-to-day life, but elevated.
Here’s how we built her visual story:
📍 Nature’s Own Grocery – One of her favorite wellness spots, where she shops and finds inspiration.
☕️ City Market Coffee – A cozy, real part of her routine where she gets grounded (and caffeinated).
🏋️♀️ Her communal gym – Because her wellness isn’t just skin-deep—it’s holistic.
Each location meant something to her, and that authenticity shows in the final images. It’s not just about “pretty pictures.” It’s about photographs that connect with your audience because they show the real you.
Nervous About Being on Camera? You’re Not Alone—But We Got You
Quincey tried to tell me she was nervous and “not good at photos” but listen… she brought the energy, the creativity, and the absolute fire. Confidence comes when you feel seen and supported, and that’s exactly what every session with me is built around.
Here’s what’s included in every Kansas City branding session with me:
✨ A Zoom consult before your session to brainstorm and refine your vision
✨ A custom shot list tailored to your business goals
✨ Wardrobe guidance, location planning, and honest feedback to get you prepped
✨ A fun, relaxed shoot day where we bring the magic to life
