Getting Started with AI It started coming up between setups. A client would be changing into her third look of the day and ask, half-joking, whether she was supposed to be using AI yet. Then another one asked. Then another. The funny part is that by the time those conversations started, AI had already been […]
TL;DR Someone asked me at a networking event what I do, and when I mentioned brand photography, she nodded politely and said, “So… headshots?” It’s the most common mix-up in my world, and it’s worth untangling, because the two solve different problems at different price points.

Something shifted in how businesses get recommended by AI, and most owners haven’t caught up to it yet. Last week, instead of typing “brand photographer near me” into Google and scrolling, someone opened ChatGPT and asked, “Who’s a good brand photographer in Carmel?” They got back two or three names, a sentence on each, and […]
“What exactly happens behind the scenes at brand photography sessions?” I get this question almost weekly, usually followed by some version of “I just need a few photos” or “how long does it take?” The honest answer?
