looking to level up?

If you’re a small business owner, realtor, creative professional or someone with a growing side gig and you’re looking to set yourself apart from your competitors, I have news for you:

You need a branding session

Consumers connect more deeply with a person than they do with a simple logo or a face-less brand. Showing your face builds trust, establishes familiarity and bridges connections to your audience. 

More than a basic headshot session, personal branding sessions are tailor-made to show who you are and what you do. A branding session includes a variety of lifestyle-driven headshots of you, vignettes from your workday, as well as shots of you both at work and doing things you love. 

A branding photography session gives you a library of visual content that you can use to populate your social media feed, incorporate throughout your website, utilize in marketing collateral and even pop into your email signature. In a visual world, a branding photography session gives you a collection of professional photos that will help show people what you do, how you do it, and why you’re the person for the job. 

As a Connecticut branding photographer I will help you show your audience what you offer, but also who you are. After all, people do business with people. So let me help you show everyone a peek behind the curtain.

Connecticut Branding Photographer

Hi! So glad you’re here.

I’m Kate, a headshot and personal branding, newborn and family photographer based in Ridgefield, CT. Showing the authentic, the natural and the real is my passion. And helping business owners, realtors and creatives fine tune their brands is in my blood. While my photography business has been thriving for five years strong, I come from a background in PR, marketing and communications where I’ve crafted messaging and have been storytelling for clients for two decades. I’m uniquely poised to help you stand out in a crowded marketplace and I’m always rooting for you.


Kate is a true professional. She conducted a branded photo session for my team and we were thrilled with the results. From the moment we first met, I could feel she had incredible energy that shines through in every aspect of her work. I loved our final product so much that I wound up buying a photo session with her for a client of mine as a present. If you’re looking for fair pricing, stellar results and someone who is simply a pleasure to work with, call Kate Wark.

Q. What is the cost of a branding photography session?

A. Personal branding sessions start at $1250. Those interested in a group/team branding session can inquire for a personalized quote. 

Q. Do I need to invest in professional hair and makeup services? (Extras)

A. In short, no. However, doing so can absolutely aid in showing up to the session with confidence, and that confidence always comes across in the images. I also have a small and trusted team of hair and makeup artists that are gifted in enhancing one’s natural beauty, without the clown-like effect that people can fear. 

Q. What is the difference between a headshot session and a branding session?


A. If you need a singular photo of yourself for the company website, and you have no plans to utilize this photo outside of that and possibly your LinkedIn profile, then a headshot session is for you. But if you’re launching a business, are an established business owner, are a real estate agent, creative professional or someone with a growing side gig – and you need killer imagery to populate social media feeds, websites, use in marketing collateral or more – a branding session is for you.
