Branding photography in Tempe
From launch day to your hundredth post
If you're building something in Tempe, you probably need photos for more places than you expect: the about page, the pitch deck, the press mention, the LinkedIn banner and every post in between.
A branding session covers all of it in one planned shoot. We talk through where the images will go, then photograph portraits, working moments and details so everything you publish looks like it came from the same company.
Who books branding sessions in Tempe: Tech and startup teams, consultants, university faculty and staff, job seekers and corporate offices.

Tempe branding session questions
How much is a personal branding session in Tempe?
Branding sessions in Tempe start at $695. There are three options, from a focused 60-minute session with 25 images to a three-hour session with 100 images, and I'll confirm your total before you book. Tempe is about twenty minutes from my home base in Chandler.
Where do branding sessions happen in Tempe?
Usually a mix of your own workspace and one outside location, such as Tempe Town Lake, Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe. Some parks and venues require a photo permit or location fee. I'll tell you up front, and it's shown in your total before you book.
How do I know which package I need?
Essentials suits a focused update in one setting. Signature gives you variety for a website and social media. Brand Story covers several services, spaces or stories. Tell me where the photos will be used and I'll recommend one.
What do I get at the end?
Edited, high-resolution and web-size images in a private online gallery, ready to download. There is no required additional purchase and no reveal appointment.
