the ldp Personal Branding
Experience
Your photographs are often the first impression someone has of your business—and the best branding images do far more than show what you look like. They communicate who you are, what you do, and why people should choose you.
Our luxury personal branding sessions are thoughtfully designed for entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, and growing businesses who want imagery that feels polished, authentic, and strategically aligned with their brand. Whether you’re refreshing your website, launching a new business, building content for social media, or creating marketing materials, we’ll create a customized collection of portraits and lifestyle imagery that tells your story with confidence.
From creative direction and wardrobe styling to editorial-inspired photography and environmental portraits, every session is tailored to reflect your personality, your business, and the clients you hope to attract.

FAQ
When should I schedule my Personal Branding session?
We recommend scheduling your personal branding session at least 6 weeks before you’d like to have your finished images.
We also recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred session date.
Is hair & makeup included?
Yes! Professional hair & makeup is included with every studio personal branding session, ensuring you feel fully pampered and camera-ready for an elevated experience from start to finish.
Our artists are experienced working with clients of all ages, skin tones, and hair textures.
Is wardrobe included?
Yes! Every personal branding session includes access to our Couture Wardrobe Collection, featuring beautifully curated pieces designed to flatter a wide range of ages and body types while creating a cohesive, elegant look for your session. Our collection goes beyond gowns, offering pantsuits, casual outfits, and thoughtfully selected accessories as well.
If you have specific clothing that showcases your brand, logo, or personal style, we encourage you to bring it along so we can incorporate it into your session and create imagery that feels authentically you.
How long is the Personal Branding session?
There’s no strict time limit for your personal branding session — we structure the experience around you, not the clock.
We begin with 2 hours of professional hair & makeup to ensure you feel fully prepared, relaxed, and camera-ready before your shoot begins. The photography portion typically runs about an hour per wardrobe change, but we never rush the process.
Can I include my fur babies?
Yes! You’re welcome to include your pets in your personal branding session. As long as your pets are comfortable around new people and well-behaved, they’re more than welcome to be part of your session. Dogs are generally easier to photograph than cats, but we’re always happy to do our best to include your furry family members in a beautiful and meaningful way.
What should I bring?
It’s your brand, so we encourage you to reflect your unique style throughout your personal branding session. If you have specific branded clothing, accessories, or products you’d like to highlight, please bring them along—we’d love to incorporate them into your portraits.
We recommend bringing any jewelry, meaningful accessories, and photo-friendly shoes you’d like to wear.
We also love when clients incorporate pieces that reflect their personal style. Whether it’s a statement outfit you’ve been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear, a favorite jacket, a designer accessory, or something that simply feels like you, these thoughtful details often become some of the most memorable images from your session.
Can I get photos by a specific date?
Can you recreate my inspo photo?
Where is your studio located?
Do you offer Beach Personal Branding sessions?
Yes! If you have a beach-inspired aesthetic, we would love to capture personal branding portraits at the beach. From sandy shores and iconic piers to ferris wheels along California’s beautiful coastline, we take full advantage of the stunning natural light, scenic backdrops, and timeless coastal beauty to create imagery that feels both elevated and authentic to your brand.
We regularly photograph sessions at SoCal’s most beautiful beaches, including El Matador Beach, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes, and other stunning coastal locations. If you have a favorite spot in mind, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
Do you shoot outside?
Do you offer On-Location Personal Branding sessions?
Can you accommodate modest, cultural, or religious preferences?
Absolutely. We proudly photograph families from a wide variety of cultural, religious, and personal backgrounds, and we believe every client deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and authentically represented in their personal branding portraits.
Whether you prefer more modest wardrobe styling, wear a hijab or other religious garments, have specific cultural traditions you’d like to incorporate, or simply have personal preferences regarding clothing and posing, our team will work closely with you to create an experience tailored to your needs.
Our goal is never to fit you into a predetermined style, but to create beautiful, meaningful portraits that reflect who you are and what matters most to you.
I’m feeling self-conscious about extra weight and stretch marks — will that affect how I look in photos?
No — you don’t need to be concerned at all! We use strategic posing, lighting, and angles throughout the personal branding session to highlight you in the most flattering way while still keeping everything natural and authentic. In editing, we make subtle refinements (like smoothing & slimming) without changing how you look or removing what makes you you.
Being concerned about double chins, arms, thighs, skin issues and stretch marks is very normal. The goal isn’t to “hide” your body — it’s to show you as your most glamorous, confident self.
What if I don't feel comfortable in front of camera?
Most of our clients don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera at first, and very few have any modeling experience. From the moment your personal branding session begins, we guide you through everything: posing, expression, posture, and movement in a way that feels natural and relaxed, not stiff or forced. We’ll show you exactly what to do, adjust you as needed, and direct you the entire time so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands or how to pose.
Our sessions are designed to feel easy and supportive, and we take our time so you can warm up, build confidence, and actually enjoy the experience. By the end, most clients are surprised at how comfortable they feel — and how much they love the process as much as the final images!
What if I have limited mobility?
Yes! We’ve got you, girl! Your comfort, safety, and confidence are always our top priorities. We’re experienced in accommodating limited mobility, disabilities, injuries, and a wide range of individual needs. Every pose and setup can be thoughtfully adapted so you feel comfortable, supported, and beautiful throughout your personal branding session.
Whether you’re sitting, reclining, or in supported positions that reduce strain, we can still create elevated imagery that feels natural and effortless—no matter your circumstances.
Can I bring someone to be my cheerleader?
Yes, of course! We will have our assistant there to support you in whatever way is needed throughout your personal branding session. However, if you feel it would make you more comfortable, you’re more than welcome to bring a friend, sister, partner, or anyone who will cheer you on, hype you up, and make the experience even more fun. We love having supportive people in the studio and are happy to include them in your day.
Do I need to pay a deposit to reserve my date?
A non-refundable $125 deposit is required to secure your personal branding session date and is applied toward your session fee. Because we book a limited number of sessions each month and often reserve dates well in advance, this deposit allows us to hold dedicated time specifically for you.
We understand that life happens and strive to be as flexible as possible. Whenever availability allows, we are happy to accommodate reasonable reschedule requests.
What's included in the session fee?
Your personal branding session fee reserves your date and includes your personalized planning consultation, professional hair & makeup, access to our wardrobe collections, use of studio props and accessories, guided posing, and everything on the day of your portrait session experience.
While in studio you will have a photographer, an assistant, and your own private dressing room.
Are digital images included in the session fee?
How much do photo packages cost?
Photo Packages are purchased separately and begin at $1,295. All Photo Packages include the digital files of your selected images. Please contact us directly for our full price menu.
