Jamie in front of the mural she co-created outside the Kammok Store in East Austin
Local artist, Jamie B. McCormick a.k.a. JBM Studio contacted me last month for a branding photo session. She’s re-doing her website and needed some new content for her site and social media. I’m always happy to work on a Creative Business Story. We brainstormed where it would make sense to take the photos. I definitely thought we should highlight her mural (seen above) and show her painting where the subject of a lot of her work takes place – out in nature.
We started the morning at Bull Creek District Park.
While Jamie worked on a few new art pieces, I made sure to get a variety of shots.
Next we drove over to the east side to visit the Kammok store. Jamie worked with fellow Austin artist, Brittany Callender, on their mural piece “Sculpture Falls” that appears on the side of the shop.
Thank you, Jamie, for a fun branding session. I can’t wait to see your updated website!
How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
Our children are friends and I’ve admired her school photo booths! I knew she was capable of a lot if she can make an entire class full of 4-5 year olds look happy and cute.
What was your favorite part of your branding photo session?
I am not incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, but Stephanie is so fun and relaxed, it was easier than I anticipated. We talked through a lot of ideas, and she came very prepared, so I knew the plan and I didn’t feel worried on the day of the shoot. Stephanie was also good about telling me what was working (and what wasn’t) and let me look at pictures as I went, so I had a good feel for what was happening and felt comfortable asking for feedback.
What advice would you give to other business owners planning a branding photo session?
Make choices that you make you feel more confident — where you go, what you wear, etc.
