Portland Branding Photographer
Confidence shows up after you take the first step. After you book the shoot (hi, it’s me) and stand in front of the camera even though it can feel scary.
Then the photo gallery hits your inbox and you’re like… wait. Is that me? Because wow.
Yes. It is. And yes—you look incredible!
If you’re feeling like, “maybe I’m ready”? You didn’t end up here by accident.

The Branding Experience
I'M ANNELISE BLISS,
portland branding photography
I’m a former shy girl turned 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
Book a no-pressure consult to chat about your business and goals. When you’re ready, I’ll send an invoice and contract and you'll be booked.

"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!"

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!

"Working with Annelise was amazing! I do not typically enjoy being photographed, and the entire experience with her was easeful and fun. She took time to get to know me and my business, and then added her creative genius to my shoot. She is adventurous, kind, and a joy to work with."
"I highly recommend Annelise for growing your business and self-confidence on camera."

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