For her branding photo session, we met first to discuss what she had in mind.

Her goal was to update her website and have a fresh library of content to share in marketing newsletters, blog posts and social media. We discussed her ideal client, what pain points she solves and what makes her unique. With that information in mind, we created a shot list.

Please check out some of the images from her session below and contact me if you’d like to discuss your own branding photo session.

Austin Central Library & Seaholm – Senior Photography Session

by admin | Oct 23, 2023 | photography, seniors

“Your high school memories are the background music that plays as you embark on new adventures.”

Why are Senior Photos Important?

Well, Senior Year is a time of hard work, celebration and the beginning of a major transition. Senior Photos are important because they capture and celebrate this milestone period. These pictures mark the end of one chapter and freeze that moment in time. You and your family will have these photos to look back on as your embark on your next stage of life.

This Class of 2024 Senior wanted his photos taken at the Austin Central Library. If you’re interested in using this location, their guidelines are posted HERE.

For his Senior photo session, we explored around the library – especially the rooftop deck and then made our way around the Seaholm and Butterfly Bridge area outside.

Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own Senior photo session.

1. What prompted you to have this photo session? Senior year! We wanted to try to get some better pictures of Dylan that what the school captures.
His answer: “My mom said I had to.”

2. How did you choose your location for your session? It’s an interesting part of town. As an aspiring architecture student, I wanted a more urban setting.

3. What advice would you give to others planning a similar photo session? Try to relax and have fun. Easier said than done sometimes, but Dylan ended up having a good time and enjoyed his session.

4. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? It was great to work with Stephanie – she worked hard to help Dylan relax and feel comfortable.

The Mad Hatter – Halloween Photo Session

by admin | Oct 11, 2023 | Halloween, photography

“Mad Matter: “Have I gone mad?”
Alice: “I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” – Lewis Carroll

Five years ago, she was the Red Queen at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. When she decided on the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland for this year’s Halloween Costume – it only made sense to go back to the Gardens.

With a vintage tea set and accessories (and keeping out of the way of the wedding, quinceanara and homecoming photos also happening that night), we explored the grounds and had our own tea party.

This Halloween photo session is one of my favorite yearly events. From discussing props to choosing the most appropriate location to embracing the character, it’s always a lot of fun.

And I got to bring a few favorite tea cups from home to lend to the shoot.

Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session this year.

Why Headshot Photos are Important

by admin | Oct 5, 2023 | headshot, photography

The Power of Headshots: Why personal branding matters

In this digital world, your online presence matters. And your headshot could be someone’s first impression of you.

Whether you’re looking for a new job or well established in your industry, headshots are a crucial investment in your personal brand.

Here are my Top 5 reasons why Headshot Photo Sessions are important:

Create a strong first impression: Your headshot is often the first thing viewers see when they visit your website, LinkedIn or social media profile. A professional headshot can present you as you wish to be perceived (warm and welcoming, stern and capable, friendly and silly, etc.) According to the Association for Psychological Science, it only takes 1/10th of a second for someone to form a first impression of you.

Build the “Know, Like and Trust” Factor: People can get a sense of your personality from your headshot photos. A polished headshot can convey professionalism and trustworthiness. A playful headshot can convey approachability and friendliness. A good branding photographer will help capture your exact personality.

Personal Branding: Your headshot is part of your Personal Brand. It should reflect your personality, style and values. It also shows your most up-to-date look.

Make connections: People connect better online with photos of people, not logos or abstract concepts. A headshot humanizes your brand, allowing your audience to connect with the person behind the business. It adds an important personal touch, fostering a sense of familiarity and trust.

Invest in your succcess: Consider a professional branding photo session an investment in your success. It shows your commitment to your career and will help you grow.

To summarize, headshots are not just photos – they are tools you can use to shape your online presence and career path.

Investing in a personal branding photo session is an investment in your future. Headshot photos are important in first impressions and in opening doors to new opportunities.
