Editorial and playful branding photo of photographer Cheleana Rowan, captured in a Traverse City, Michigan studio. This session highlights modern, creative headshots perfect for personal branding and photography business marketing.

Cheleana is an incredible photographer and was ready for a fresh set of branding photos for her website. We rented Hudson & Co. Studio in Traverse City, Michigan and started planning a session that truly reflected her brand. She chose a mix of editorial headshot styles and incorporated a pop of her brand color to make the images uniquely hers.

We had so much fun capturing these! Branding photos and headshots can be such an uplifting refresh for you and your business. People love connecting with the person behind the brand, and having professional, personality-filled images can elevate your website and social presence tremendously.

Having an incredible studio space like Hudson & Co. made all the difference! This Traverse City studio offers a variety of props, backdrops, lights, plus the sweetest owner who makes the experience even better.

Show off your unique personality & style.

What’s the difference between a headshot and a branding session?

A headshot is a simple, polished photo of you (usually from the shoulders up), while a branding session is more in-depth. Branding photos include a variety of poses, outfits, and settings to showcase your personality, style, and the heart behind your business.
