branding for small businesses

Photography for Small Businesses with Heart

Whether you're launching a new brand, reworking your website, or just need fresh content for your social media—I'm here to help you show up confidently and authentically. My approach is rooted in storytelling, creating images that reflect your personality, values, and the work you’ve poured your soul into. From handmade goods to wellness spaces to service-based brands—I’m here to highlight the magic in what you do.

Photos That Tell Your Story

There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping small business owners feel seen, confident, and proud of what they’ve built. As someone who’s always believed in the power of creativity and connection, I love getting to support fellow dreamers and doers through meaningful photography. Branding photos aren’t just headshots or product pics—they’re visual storytelling tools that show the heart behind your business. In a world where people crave authenticity, the right images can help you build trust, attract your ideal clients, and stand out in a saturated market. I’m here to make that process feel fun, easy, and empowering—so you can focus on what you do best.

Branding + Lifestyle

For headshots, workspace details, product-in-action, and storytelling visuals. You, your team, or your process captured in a way that feels relaxed, personal, and on-brand

How It Works

Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:

Every gallery is curated to feel cohesive and tailored to your audience.

  • We’ll hop on a call to talk about your brand, content goals, and vision.

  • I’ll send over a shoot guide and style suggestions, plus help finalize locations and props.

  • Relax, I’ll direct and guide as needed while keeping things fun and natural.

  • You’ll receive a gallery of fully edited, high-res images with commercial licensing for website, print, and social media use.

Why Work With Me?

As a photographer who thrives in storytelling and connection, I bring more than just a camera to your session—I bring intention.

Here’s what sets me apart:

  • A warm, relaxed approach that helps even the most camera-shy feel at ease

  • A love for natural light, earthy tones, and images that feel real

  • An eye for detail that highlights the artistry and purpose behind your work

  • A background in working with creatives and small teams who wear many hats (I get it!)

“The session was well organized but provided flexibility to work on shots I needed to grow my brand. She provided some inspiration prior to the shoot for feedback on what I personally was looking for. Communication through the entire process was quick and provided updates on editing timeline after the session was over.”

“KC is a dream to work with! I went into my branding shoot without a super clear vision, and she was able to create shots that really captured my overall brand and personality. I’m so obsessed with all of the pictures she took!”

Kind Words

“I had such a phenomenal experience working with Katelyn! She allowed me to share all my ideas and what I was looking for and transform them into great photos that get my brand vision across. Super easy to work with and passionate about what she does- it comes across in the photos in the best way!!”
