WHAT TO EXPECT

when you book with Purple Tree Photography

Investment

I offer three photography session options for those needing a simple headshot to a full branding session. pricing starts at $185.

I aim to bring your personality out in your images. For certain session types, we have the opportunity to use items to help tell your story. I share some ideas in the welcome guide you’ll receive and I’m always here for questions and help.

I edit out any blemishes without giving you a plastic skin look. I retouch with a light hand to make you look your best but still like yourself (on your best day after moisturizer).

Retouching

It’s my job to guide and pose you so you look your best and love your images. I don’t expect anyone to automatically be comfortable in front of the camera or know how to pose. Don’t stress, I got you!

Posing guidance

Makeup is available, and recommended, as an add-on for all of my sessions, and hair is available to add to my classic and premier sessions. My stylists know how to give you a look you are comfortable with and will look great on camera.

What to wear can be one of the biggest stresses of booking a photoshoot, but I’m here to help. You will receive my welcome guide with tips and inspiration. I’m also available for a phone consult and I recommend bringing more then you need so I can help you what
will photograph best.

What to wear

My job is to capture images that represent you/your business that you'll be excited to use, share and will help you accomplish your goals.

Getting in front of the camera
isn’t everyone’s favorite activity.
it's my job to prepare you, pose you
and tailor the shoot to your
unique needs and goals!

Why are professional headshots and branding photography so important?

first impressions matter

Study by Princeton University: People form first impressions in as little as 1/10th of a second based on visual appearance.  A high-quality headshot ensures that this split-second judgment works in your favor.

Trust & Credibility

Forbes: "there's no better way to gain a potential client's trust and boost your reputation than by taking professional headshots."

Improved engagement

Social Media Examiner: Instagram posts with visually cohesive and professional branding photography have a 65% higher engagement rate than posts with amateur or stock imagery.
