PORTFOLIO

You Built Something Worth Being Seen For.

The brand photography portfolio for founders, coaches, and consultants across the Twin Cities — portraits, working scenes, and the details that make a feed read like a brand.

What I shoot

Three ways the work shows up.

Branding

Full brand sessions includes portraits, working scenes, and environment frames built around the places your images actually have to work.

Headshots

Executive portraits and clean headshots sized for speaker bios, press pages, podcast kits, and team directories.

Detail Shots

Styled details including tools, notebooks, textures, and product moments that give a feed sensory depth between portraits.

Hi, I’m Jo

I make the photographs your business has already earned.

I’ve been photographing people professionally since 2012, and the thing I keep relearning is this: whether you end up with a photo you tolerate or one you use everywhere has almost nothing to do with your face, your outfit, or how photogenic you think you are.

It comes down to direction. So I build the shoot around the way you already work, then talk you through it frame by frame, no posing homework, no performance. What comes back looks like you on an ordinary good day, which is exactly the version your clients already meet.

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in a brand photography session?

A planning call, two to four hours of shooting across multiple looks and locations, and a set of fully edited, high-resolution images delivered through a private gallery. Full package details are on the Investment page.

How is this different from a headshot session?

A headshot gets you one good photo of your face. A brand session builds a working image library — portraits, process shots, workspace and detail images — sized and framed for your website, proposals, and social content.

Can I use these images in paid ads or on my website?

Yes. Every package includes a usage license for your own marketing — website, proposals, paid social and ads, and organic content. See the Terms page for the full licensing detail.
