Here’s the truth: your 2026 marketing success is being built right now.

Most small businesses start planning their marketing in January…just as they’re catching their breath from the holidays. But by then, you’re already behind.

This is your sign to start setting up Future You for success.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “you get what you pay for.”

But in brand photography, I’ve found something even truer…

You get what you plan for.

When most people think about brand photography, they imagine polished headshots or pretty pictures. But my clients know: photos are just the beginning.

The real magic happens in the process leading up to the shoot — the intentional strategy, reflection, and clarity that unlocks something far bigger.

Choosing the right location for your brand shoot can be overwhelming for many small business owners. After all, the setting for your photos will play a huge role in how your brand is perceived.
