It's time for you to stand out!
All of my photo shoots are virtual, and every image is taken through the lens of a PHONE...

I was so happy with the work that Laura did with my first photo shoot, that I scheduled a second one! And as I anticipated, she delivered again! When building a brand, you need consistency and familiarity with those that you work with. In Laura, I have found both! I look forward to our next opportunity to work together!

I have just completed my photoshoot with Laura and what a great experience I had. I was amazed at the quality and professionalism using a virtual platform for my business photos. She made me feel comfortable and guided me through the whole process with ease. I highly recommend Laura for your branding photoshoots.

I enjoyed my photo session with Laura. She is very professional, fun and a genuine person. I love my pictures, I had fun during the session because it was from the comfort of my house.
I highly recommend Laura. You will love her, have fun and will not regret it!!
How Does It Work?
It's simple! A virtual photo shoot uses a free photo studio app that allows me, the photographer, to take photos through your phone during the photo session. Just like an in-person photo shoot, I'll be guiding you every step of the way to get the best lighting and poses.
After the photo shoot, the images download to my computer, and I professionally edit the best images and send you a beautiful gallery!
All you need is a phone and a tripod (and if you don't have a tripod, I ship one to you!) .
Take a look at the behind-the-scenes images and video below:
These images are from a photo shoot I did in Germany. You can see the phone set up (my client's husband took the action shot!), and I'm giving verbal instructions about where to stand and how to pose.
... and here is a final image!
Watch the video to experience a virtual photo shoot (that's my voice you hear!). I'm sitting at my computer in Minnesota and taking photos through her phone.
Can you see the moment in the video where I captured this joyful image?
Research shows that in 40 milliseconds, we draw conclusions about people based on a photo.
It's time to be SCROLL-STOPPING!
A virtual brand photo shoot is the essential photo shoot for entrepreneurs like you! One session gives you an overflow of images to use for your marketing and social media strategy. People buy from people so your potential clients need to see YOU - and what better way than through a photo (a picture does say a 1,000 words!).
A step-by-step guide to your virtual brand photo shoot
1. Let's Talk Vision!
Once you've submitted the form to book your photo shoot, we'll schedule a Vision Call. I want to learn as much as I can about you and your business to ensure that the photos capture YOU! Here are a few things we'll cover during the call:
-
Virtually walk through the space you've chosen for the photo shoot and map out the best places to take photos
-
Start brainstorming props and "must have" shots
-
Uncover what makes you and your business unique
2. Virtual Styling Session
As part of your photo shoot package, you get to meet with a professional branding stylist to finalize your outfits for the photo shoot.
Look and feel your best!
3. It's Photo Shoot Time!
Just like an in-person photo shoot, you'll be personally guided through each step, so you can just relax and enjoy the photo shoot! I will help find the best lighting and poses to ensure that the final images bring you joy.
4. Editing & Final Selection
Within 2 weeks of your photo shoot, you will be sent a stunning gallery of professionally edited images for you to select your favorite photos!
ENTREPRENEUR
As a successful entrepreneur, showcase your natural genius at work. Imagine how many people would love to know how you do what you do and see behind the scenes!
SPEAKER
Imagine images of you sharing your message and inspiring others! Grab the mic and show the world how much you love being on stage!
AUTHOR
And for those of you who are authors, let's get a picture of you and your newly published book! Share your accomplishment with the world (and promote your latest title at the same time!).
The list goes on, but you get the picture! (pun intended)...
My virtual brand photo shoots are completely customized for you and your business.
Working with Laura virtually was just like working with an in person photographer. We looked around the house, I showed her where I wanted to be - she looked at lighting and got me to move into position and made me smile, laugh and feel at ease.
I am impressed by the quality of the photos and cannot wait to release them to the world… I do know that I will be recommending Laura to anyone needing branding photos.
It is so nice to have the shoot without having to change in front of anyone, get the images in your own environment and your space.
Five stars - I will be coming back again! Thank you Laura - I love my photos!

I loved my photoshoot with Laura! She made the whole thing easy and also fun. I ended up with some great photos and I didn't even have to leave the comfort of my own home!
She was great at directing the photoshoot and just made everything super simple. I would definitely recommend booking a shoot with Laura.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a virtual brand photo shoot work?
It's simple! A virtual photo shoot uses a free photo studio app that allows me, the photographer, to take photos using your phone during the photo session. You can relax and enjoy the photo shoot while I guide you through each pose and help you get photos you love!
There's something truly magical about connecting with people from all parts of the world and being able to take photos that capture their unique and amazing self. Are you next?
2. How long will it take to receive my images?
Your beautiful photo gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your photoshoot.
3. What if I don’t have a space in my home that works well for a photoshoot?
No problem! You can borrow someone’s home for a day or rent a bright and airy Airbnb near you.
That’s what I did for my photoshoot. My sister-in-law has a beautiful office, and she let me spend a few hours there to get some of my own photos. Think about someone you know who has a bright, clear space with maybe a desk and a chair. I also highly recommend having some sort of plant in the room if there isn’t one already. It adds life and color to the photoshoot - a little bit of greenery can go a long way!
p.s. Not sure you have the right wardrobe? Why not borrow clothes from a friend!
4. What is the investment?
The Virtual Brand Photo Shoot Package is $650 (my prices are in USD) and this includes:
-
Vision call
-
A virtual styling session
-
3 hours of photo shoot time
-
5 outfit/style changes so you have a variety of image options to choose from
-
2 locations to provide for images with different backgrounds
-
40 professionally edited digital images which you will love!
5. What if I’m not very photogenic or have never done a photoshoot before?
Is this your first photo shoot? Not a problem!
You do not need to have any prior experience and you're in the right place.
One of my gifts is bringing joy and laughter to each photo shoot that will make it fun and enjoyable.
I'll be personally guiding you through each step, so you can just relax and enjoy the photo shoot!
I will help find the best lighting and poses to ensure that you look your best, (and at ease - because you will be), and the final images bring you joy.
6. Can you remove 10 pounds and 10 years from me during the editing process?
My style of editing is to highlight what makes you shine.
I want to celebrate YOU and where you are at in your journey right now - as well as where you plan to go.
It’s important that your virtual photo shoot images are authentic, and I understand that you also want to look your best so I focus on editing in a way that naturally highlights your features. The most common edits I make are lighting, adjusting color, light blemish retouching, etc.
Note: I know how to choose the best poses for your body type and will guide you through a variety of poses during the photo shoot that will be flattering!
7. Can I have colleagues, family, business partners appear in the images with me? Up to how many people?
This is on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you have a business partner who lives near you, it would be ideal for them to join the photo shoot and have some photos together to capture your work and camaraderie.
I have also done a photo shoot with an entrepreneur who works with a lot of moms, so we took some family photos because that aligned with her business focus.
Do you have a wonderful pet that joins you in the office each day? They can be part of your photo shoot!
I would be happy to jump on a call with you to talk through this together and see what might be possible.
8. What resolution, orientation and file type are the final images? How are they delivered to me?
Images will be the highest resolution available on your phone.
Most images will be portrait orientation, but we also take a few landscape images for variety.
Within two weeks of the photo shoot, you will receive a beautiful online photo gallery of professionally edited photos.
Once you have received your virtual branding shoot image gallery, you simply select your favorites, and the final images will be delivered to you in PNG format.
9. Are the final images watermarked? Are there any restrictions on how or where I use the images?
Your final images will have the watermark removed, so you can start using them right away!
All photos are covered under a Commercial Usage License.
10. Do I need to have an assistant to help me on the day or can I manage alone?
An assistant is not a requirement to do a virtual photo shoot with me. As long as you have a tripod, we can do your photoshoot. My expertise is working with people one-on-one virtually, so you can rest assured that I can produce incredible images for you without you needing to worry about getting other people involved.
HOWEVER, I highly recommend inviting someone to help. It’s a lot more enjoyable and will go even more smoothly when you can just focus on looking amazing and not worry about moving the tripod during the photo shoot.
11. Do I need to provide any special equipment such as lights, a tripod, or anything other than my phone?
- If you don't own a tall tripod, I will ship one to you for free! Simply include your address in the booking form.
- There is no need for additional lights. I utilize the natural light available in your photoshoot space (whether that’s at your home, a friend’s home, or Airbnb).
- If you have something like a ring light, have it available in case we want to add a little extra light to the shot.
12. Are there any device requirements? Does it matter if I am using an iPhone or Android? Is there a minimal OS requirement?
There are no device requirements, but newer versions of smartphones work best. You also need access to good WiFi or a strong data connection.
For the photo shoot, you will download a free photo studio app which is compatible with both iPhones and Android devices.
The higher the image resolution (megapixels), the better!
13. If I love more than 40 images, is there an option for me to purchase more?
Yes!!! I always provide plenty of photos for you to choose from in the final gallery.
Part of your virtual photoshoot experience includes discussing the platforms you want the images for and I work to your requirements.
Any additional photos are only $10 each.
