Portland Branding Photographer


Yes, you are and I’ll show you exactly how.


Ready to confidently enter your visibility era?

Branding photos don’t just change how people see your business, they change how you see yourself. And that’s where confidence begins to grow.

If you’re the face of your business, how you show up matters.

Investing in brand photos instantly builds trust with clients who see where you are now, not where you started.

 You are so in the right place.

It shows up after you take the first step. After you book the shoot and stand in front of the camera.

Then the photo gallery hits your inbox and you're like, "Wait...Is that me? Because wow!"

Yes it is, and you look incredible!

If you're feeling like, "Maybe I'm ready,"  you didn't end up here by accident. 

Here's the truth no one tells you:

Confidence isn't a personality trait; it's a side effect.

Former shy girl turned branding photographer now in her visibility era—I specialize in helping women entrepreneurs show up with confidence.

I know how uncomfortable it can feel to be in front of the camera, especially when you’re the face of your brand.

My approach is relaxed, supportive, and never forced—guiding you out of your comfort zone just enough to create images that are natural, and personality-driven.

"Amazing experience start to finish!"

"I booked a long overdue brand photo shoot with Annelise. She was a great listener and understood what I was looking for for my business. We had fun on shoot day and I ended up with so many photos I love for my website, social media and more. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend to others."

"She instantly put me at ease and made the process light-hearted and fun."

"As a new children's book author, I needed a small brand shoot for my website and social media.  Annelise was prompt to reply and answered all my many questions about the process. She provided a helpful guide prior to the photo shoot. She instantly put me at ease and made the process light hearted and fun. Her props are amazing too. I highly recommend her services!"

"Annelise made the process super easy and enjoyable from start to finish"

 I can't recommend Annelise more highly! I was in serious need of some updated personal branding photos for my consulting and speaking business, and she made the process super easy and enjoyable from start to finish - from deciding what kinds of poses and outfits to focus on, to where to do the actual shoot, to planning props and logistics for the day of the photo shoot. I love how the photos turned out!

FAQs

Depending on your session, you’ll receive ~100 carefully curated and totally on-brand images (enough to cover 4+ months of content and a full website!). 

What if I just need a headshot?

If a full brand session seems like too much, I also offer headshot photography

what if I’m awkward in front of the camera?

Most of my clients feel this way about themselves before their session. Rest assured that my approach is calm, guided, and low-pressure—I’ll show you exactly what to do while keeping things natural and comfortable. We will only take photos of things you would actually do in your business to keep you looking legit.

Do you help with planning the shoot?

Yes! Every branding session includes pre-planning support to align your photos with your goals. We’ll talk through how you want your brand to feel, where you’ll use your images, and what visuals will best support that. From there I will create a branding shoot guide for us to follow on session day.

How far in advance should I book my session?



Branding sessions typically book a few weeks to a couple of months in advance, especially during busy seasons. Reaching out early is always encouraged.

A Note about Inclusion & Accessibility


I create photography sessions where everyone is welcomed, respected, and included. I believe people should feel free to show up as their authentic selves in whatever form that takes.
I proudly welcome people of all races and gender identities, and I’m committed to accessibility for neurodiverse individuals and people with disabilities. My work celebrates body positivity and embraces people across all ages and generations.
