Virginia branding photographer

for female business owners who is ready to show the world who they truly are

Imagine you’re a makeup artist, and you're known for creating the perfect bridal looks. But your photos are just quick selfies in bad lighting. Or you’re a hairstylist who specializes in flawless updos for weddings or special events, but your social media is lacking the photos that truly show off your talents. 

I’m here to work with driven and inspired female entrepreneurs who are tired of those low-res selfies or the dreaded “let me crop this awkwardly” photos. If you’re ready to swap those out for branded images that actually show off the real you, I’m all in.

I know how overwhelming it can be to show up as the face of your business, but that’s where I come in. You want your photos to be seen in a way that clicks and showcases that “wow” factor.

I see you

But I also know the struggle that comes with it…

You know you need to be the face of your brand, but every time you go to post, you feel stuck. 

You’re tired of recycling the same outdated headshot from three years ago (or worse, that low-res random selfie).

Your website and social media feel like a mix of different styles, and you need a cohesive look that represents your brand.

You’re out here building something incredible, pouring your heart into your business, and showing up every day to make it happen.

Stock photos just aren’t cutting it and you want photos that feel like you.

You don’t have the right images to connect with your audience and showcase your personality, process, or team.

You know you need high-quality branding photos, but you’re not sure where to start or how to make them stand out.

Potential clients form opinions about your business in seconds, and you want to make sure you’re leaving the right impression.

Don't let your headshots be boring

As a fellow business owner, I get how crucial photos are for your website, social media, and marketing materials (I, too, need to practice what I preach!). You’ve come to the right place - if anyone knows how to connect with clients through imagery, it’s a photographer who’s been there herself! I’ve got your back and will make sure your brand imagery goes from basic to eye-catching imagery that makes you stand out everywhere online.

You need photos that represent your brand’s personality, values, and vibe. With professional branding photography, you'll have the powerful imagery you need to grab attention, build trust, and connect with your ideal clients.

She has a remarkable eye for capturing both the beauty and personality of her subjects, and her aesthetic always has us looking amazing! Not only is she a joy to work with, but she also delivers the finished photo galleries quickly, which is such a bonus.

Not only does she exude a warm and welcoming personality that made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, but her skill in capturing photos with natural light is truly impressive.

hi, i'm klarissa

What's it like to have me as your Virginia branding photographer?

I still can’t believe I get to help entrepreneurs showcase their passion and creativity—it’s such an honor! Think of me as your personal cheerleader, and by the end of it all, we’ll basically be besties. I’ll be honest: this might be the most fun you’ll have in front of a camera. 

We’re not just talking about over the top styled sets and full-on belly laughs (though, trust me, those are coming)...

You’re going to have the chance to celebrate everything you
do—whether you're a local makeup artist with a love for pink eye shadow color palettes or a quirky baker with a personality that shines like the sun. You’ll get creative, styled photos of you being your authentic, amazing self. I’m all about making things FUN. Some photographers focus on just getting the shot, but I know the real magic happens when you’re enjoying yourself.
