Artist Sessions

Visual content for artists, and creative small businesses

Artist Sessions are photography packages designed to capture your craft and elevate your brand across digital and print platforms. Less posed, more process. Let’s see the artist at work.

These sessions are ideal for artists and creative small businesses looking for visual assets that feel cohesive, editorial, and on-brand. Think: portraits that feel modern and unfussy.

Branding Photography for Creatives

Built for artists and visual thinkers, these sessions are a blend of art direction, branding, and portraiture. We begin with a collaborative planning process, discussing your brand tone, color palette, visual goals, and how you’ll be using the images. From there, we design a shoot that feels intentional and aligned with your creative identity.

Your final gallery typically includes a mix of modern headshots (on seamless or environmental backdrops), creative flatlays of tools and materials, candid documentation of your workspace and process, and styled behind-the-scenes moments that bring your work to life.

We also create compositions with clean negative space—ideal for web design, overlays, or printed collateral. All images are delivered in both high-resolution and web-ready formats for versatile use across platforms.

BESPOKE PACKAGES

For small brands, especially artistic ones, it can be difficult to step outside your own process long enough to see it. You’re too close to it—the materials, the mess, the magic. And while you might have strong taste and a clear vision, you may not have the time, objectivity, or resources to shape it into a visual language that communicates clearly across platforms.

That’s where this work comes in.

These sessions are designed for artists, designers, makers, and founders who care about how their work is seen—but don’t want to spend hours trying to photograph it themselves or fit into a templated version of “professional.” Together, we create branding imagery that’s strategic and soulful: portraits that feel natural, styled details that speak your language, and behind-the-scenes moments that reveal process without overexposing it.
