You need Sacramento brand photos that bridge the trust gap between you and your clients
Building trust is where I do my best work
If something feels unclear, most people don’t stop to figure it out — they move on.
First impressions matter. When your brand photography doesn’t accurately communicate who you are or what you do, potential clients hesitate, even if they’re already looking for someone like you.
As a Sacramento brand photographer and former therapist, I approach brand photography with a deep understanding of trust, perception, and decision-making.
The goal is simple: visuals that reduce confusion and help the right people feel confident moving forward.
Brand imagery shapes whether a potential client moves forward or keeps scrolling.

Design your dream session
01
We start with a discovery call to clarify your goals, your audience, and how your imagery will be used.
From there, I lead the creative direction — shaping the session around how you work and what you’re building.
Once booked, you’ll receive a planning questionnaire, a styling guide, and a personalized prep guide so everything feels clear and considered well before we shoot.
Here’s how it works
YOUR SIGNATURE BRAND SESSION
Share your brand story
03
Within a few days of your session, you’ll receive a couple of my favorite sneak peeks. Within two weeks, your full proofing gallery will be ready. Once selections are finalized, your fully edited images are delivered shortly after.
If you’d like added support, you can opt into a one-hour post-session content planning session with clear guidance on how to use your images across your website and marketing — so they’re put to work, not left sitting in a folder.
Show up and show off
02
By the time your session arrives, you’ll know exactly what to wear, where we’re shooting, and what to expect. I guide you throughout the session so nothing feels awkward or performative.
You can choose to add professional hair and makeup, and I’ll set the tone with music that fits your brand and energy. You don’t need to know how to pose or “be on” — my role is to direct the process so you can stay present, comfortable, and focused. That ease shows in the final images.
I work with women who are building meaningful businesses and care deeply about how their work is seen.
As a former LMFT, I bring a thoughtful, guided approach to brand photography — one that removes guesswork and decision fatigue.
I lead the creative direction so your imagery reflects how you actually work, resulting in visuals that feel clear, cohesive, and aligned with what you’re building next.
Brand photographer, former therapist, and creative director for women-led businesses.

Madison of Kato Custom Homes
“I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nicole has a warm, approachable energy, and by the end of the session, it felt more like hanging out with a longtime friend than a photo shoot.
She’s incredibly professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about her work. I’m thrilled with how the photos turned out, and can’t wait to use them to improve my brand identity!"
“She made me feel at ease in front of the camera—something that doesn’t come naturally to me.”
what they're saying
Gianna of La Loretta
“Having Nicole update my branding photos for my floral business was nothing short of amazing! She put in so much behind-the-scenes prep work to make sure the session seamless. She truly cares about what she does. I cannot wait to start using my new branding photos to elevate my floral game."
“Nicole is a natural behind the camera and makes her clients feel at ease during shoots.”
