What are Brand Candids?
Photos that feel like you—professional, personal, and full of story.
Brand Candids are made for small business owners, makers, artists, and entrepreneurs who want authentic, relaxed photos that truly reflect what they do—and who they are. Whether you're working out of your home studio, setting up a farmers market booth, hosting a workshop, or just need fresh content that doesn’t feel stiff or salesy, this session is for you.
What Makes Brand Candids Different?

📸 Lifestyle portraits that show you
- wrapping a bouquet
- adjusting a display
- meeting with a client
- baking bread
- packing orders
- working the register
- your personality
- the heart behind your work
📸 Candid details that add depth to your brand like
- your hands at work
- textures of your tools
- behind-the-scenes rituals
- the way you laugh mid-conversation
This type of session is ideal if you're:
- Refreshing your website or social media
- Promoting a new product or service
- Getting ready for a launch or event
- Wanting evergreen content to use all year long
- Tired of trying to DIY your brand visuals and ready for photos that feel aligned and easy
