Why do I need branding photos?
Having high quality photos and videos for your business really elevates your brand. Not only does it look nice, but a good photographer can convey your brand message through photos and videos. When advertising your business you want to be sure that you are sending the correct message which includes the way you speak and the imagery you share. If you're ready to take the next step in your business, a branding session could be the perfect option for you. All calls are complimentary, so do not hesitate to reach out to have a conversation to see if a branding session will be a good fit for your business. This page shows just one business branding session (and not even the entirety of it!), but you can find other brands I've worked for under the testimonies tab.

the process
Step by step
Once your photos are edited, the fun part begins! You will have an online gallery to download your photos (see below for video delivery). If you're unsure about how you can best use the content we created, ask about adding social media planning to your quote. Social media planning is available at monthly and quarterly rates.

We will create multiple looks and settings for your photos. I will take multiple crops and orientations so you have a variety of photos to use depending on the platform/s you're using. My number one goal is conveying your brands message while also getting you a lot of variety!
Your session
Business branding sessions are custom priced. In order to give you an accurate quote, we will schedule a phone call to go over what you're wanting. Together we'll discuss the needs for your photos, platforms they will be used on, and how much content you're wanting to create at one time. Most business' want to create content for at least three months before planning their second session.

Video
Video is the new way to capture your audience's attention. Reels, TikTok, and even Facebook have made videos a key to staying relevant on social media. Adding a video package onto your branding session is a must in today's digital world. Videos are delivered in 15-30 second clips via Google Drive. These videos are color corrected and delivered in slow-mo so they can easily be sped up when posting onto social media.
I have used Shelly with Painted Oak Photography twice and am always amazed and in awe by her incredible work. Not only is she talented but has an incredible eye on capturing the best pictures possible. The first time I used her in 2021, I unexpectedly lost my beloved horse a month after our photo session and was so glad I was able to have her capture one last memory with my horse before she passed. In 2022, I asked Shelly to take pictures with my new horse and she always amazes me with her talent. I love getting her photo albums and looking through the photos she took. She really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and have fun all at the same time during your session. She goes above and beyond to make your experience worthwhile and you get the most beautiful pictures/memories ever captured from your session. If you want the best pictures, Shelly is your girl! Not only do you get the best photographer in town, but you gain a very special and beautiful friend at the same time. I recommend her to everyone!

Shelly is AMAZING. She has been taking my photos with horses since 2015. From start to finish she can take what I describe that I want to do and make the vision come to life. She is so good at explaining how to pose to avoid looking awkward or uncomfortable. It has been great to have such high-quality content for my business. It is worth the investment. I don't have to spend time selecting a good photo to post because everything is so good. If you don't think you are photogenetic -- use Shelly because I am pretty sure she can make anyone look good.

Shelly is kind hearted, hard working, and has the most beautiful eye for light. She creates a FUN, personal dynamic during her shoots and is incredible at directing you. You will never feel awkward in front of Shelly's camera. When you contact her, she is responsive and very easy to work with. Her images speak for themselves, but when you get to know her as a person, you won't ever work with anyone else!
