Your brand is so much more than a logo or a color palette. It’s the living, breathing story of your vision, your values, and the journey you’re building one bold step at a time. As a Northern Michigan portrait photographer, I specialize in capturing branding photography that reflects who you are right now — real, raw, and true to your purpose — while leaving room for the growth still to come.
Growth and evolution are worth celebrating, but it’s just as important to capture where your brand began. Your audience connects with the authentic story behind the brand, not just the final polished version.
Together, we’ll create personal brand photography that reflects your unique essence and helps you show up boldly and consistently online, in print, and everywhere your business shows up.
Recurring Branding Sessions that can be customized to fit your needs — allowing us to focus on crafting impactful, high-quality photos that authentically represent your brand and help elevate your business!

What is a branding session?
A.A branding session is a customized photography experience designed to capture images that represent your business, brand, or personal identity. This can include headshots, product photography, lifestyle shots, or any visuals that showcase your story and style.
Branding sessions are perfect for entrepreneurs, small business owners, creatives, or anyone looking to elevate their professional presence with personalized imagery!
What’s included in the session fee?
A.The session fee covers everything you need to get started on creating a personalized branding experience. This includes a detailed Consultation where we’ll discuss your vision, goals, and brand identity. This doubles as a brainstorming session where I’ll help you decide on the type of photos you need—whether it’s headshots, product photography, lifestyle images, or a mix of everything—and plan the perfect locations, props, and overall style for your session!
I’ll guide you through the entire process to ensure you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, capturing authentic, high-quality images that represent your brand. Afterward, you’ll receive a curated online gallery where you can view and download your photos.
How can I use the photos from my branding session?
A.The images from your branding session are incredibly versatile and can be used across a wide range of platforms to elevate your business. Use them for your website, including your “About” page, team profiles, and service or product pages. They’re perfect for social media content to keep your feed cohesive and visually appealing, as well as for creating ads, banners, and email marketing campaigns.
You can also incorporate them into printed materials such as brochures, business cards, and posters, or even feature them as wall art in your office or workspace to enhance your professional environment. Whether you're updating your LinkedIn profile, designing packaging, or pitching your brand to clients, these custom images ensure that your brand makes a lasting and professional impression!
Where will the session take place, and what should I wear or bring?
A.Sessions can take place at your business location, a chosen workspace, or outdoors—wherever best reflects your brand. Wear clothing that reflects your brand’s aesthetic and professionalism. If the session includes products, bring a variety of items to showcase. I’ll guide you through this step during our planning consultation.
How long does the process take?
A.The first step is a Discovery Call which leads into the In-Person Consultation where we will discuss your vision for the business' branding session. Then we will schedule a day to create content and photograph team members, products, etc. which can take between 1-4 hours depending on the type of content we're capturing. I strive to deliver the photos between 7-14 days, but I promise to always keep you updated on where I am at during the editing stage! Overall, the process should take about 4 weeks or less, unless you choose a branding subscription option.
What makes you different from other photographers?
A.I am a Boutique Portrait Photographer, not a "Shoot & Burn" Photographer - I will explain everything in depth on the Discovery Call and at the In-Person Consultation, but here are a few key things I do that you won't get anywhere else:
• Consultation - I make time to meet with you IN PERSON before the session to learn more about you and your vision for the session.
• Photo Session - You don't have worry about how to pose, because I'll be prompting you and I promise to let you know if anything looks off; we will make adjustments and keep going. The magic is in the candid moments when we're creating together!
• Ordering Appointment - You're hiring an expert in all things PHOTOS, so it's my job to ensure that your photos represent your brand aesthetically and leave an impact on your customers. How many times have you been in a situation where you think you'll have time for something and don't (or you forget, hello busy schedules)? I'm here to make sure that there isn't another item on your to-do list. We will sit down together to brainstorm all the ways that you can utilize branding as a tool instead of a chore, and I will help you curate a cohesive collection of photos.
• Custom Wall Art - I specialize in curating beautiful portraits that can be displayed anywhere. I take into account your business vibe, your decor aesthetic, and wall space to curate a personalized collection, unlike anything I've created before, just for you! Say goodbye to stock photos and blurry phone pictures, and say hello to photos that leave a positive lasting impression!
I create a personalized experience from start to finish. You aren't JUST paying for photos, you are investing in an expert to guide you through an exciting process!

"Jazmine was so patient and made my photoshoot a fun and easy experience for someone like me who hasn't had their picture taken professionally in ten years and didn't really know what I wanted!
I am thankful I chose her!"

"I highly recommend Lively Sharp Photography for your professional portraits. Jazmine came to my office to take my photos and was very skilled with trying different settings, poses, and just in general making me feel very comfortable during the entire photo shoot. She is extremely pleasant and professional and knows her stuff. Five stars!!"

"Jazmine photographed our family in 2023. Fast forward to October 2024. My mother passed away, and we did not have a perfect picture to use at her funeral except our family photos from LSP. I called her and asked if she could isolate my mom from one of the photos so that we could use it at the funeral. First, Jazmine was compassionate; second, without hesitation, she said of course. Within 24 hours I had a photo for the funeral. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Jazmine for making us feel like family."
