How to Choose the Right Brand Photoshoot for Your Business

Planning your brand photoshoot is a lot—we totally get it. One of the most common questions I hear from business owners is:
“What length of brand photography session should I book?”

If you’re considering brand photography in Detroit or anywhere in Michigan, you’re in the right place. I offer two types of sessions tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs and business owners: mini sessions and full-length brand photoshoots.


Mini Brand Photography Sessions

Mini sessions are short shoots that are scheduled on specific days each month at pre-selected locations throughout Metro Detroit. These are ideal for small business owners, creatives, or service providers who need a quick refresh or some updated brand content—without committing to a full rebrand.

Mini sessions are designed to be easy to book. The location is included, and we shoot in unique spaces like lifestyle homes, studios, and offices.

You have two options:

  • 10-minute session: $250 and includes 10 edited images
  • 30-minute session: $475 and includes 30 edited images + up to 2 outfits

While I guide every client through their shoot, I highly recommend the 30-minute session for your first time. It gives us a little more breathing room to capture intentional, personality-filled shots.

These Michigan brand photoshoots are available to book 30–45 days out, and you can check upcoming availability here on Calendly.


Full-Length Brand Photoshoots for Business Owners

If you’re going through a rebrand, need content for a full website update, or want to shoot at multiple locations, a full brand photography session is your best bet.

Starting at $850, these sessions are 1.5+ hours and can be scheduled anywhere across Metro Detroit. Whether you’re dreaming of shooting in a studio, your office, a cozy Airbnb, or outdoors in the city, these Detroit brand photography sessions are customized to your brand.

What’s included:

  • Your own Canva brand planning template
  • Pre-session Zoom call
  • Shot list & styling support
  • Optional location scouting
  • A collaborative planning process that helps you feel confident and prepared

Many business owners choose the full session because they don’t want to feel rushed, or they have a very specific look and feel in mind that isn’t offered in the mini session offerings.

If it’s your first time working with a brand photographer in Michigan, I recommend booking a 3-hour session to set a strong visual foundation for your brand. After that, mini sessions are perfect for content refreshes and seasonal updates.


So, Which One’s Right for You?

Mini sessions are perfect if:

  • You need a few updated images for social media, your website, or marketing materials
  • You’re not ready for a full rebrand
  • You want an easy, low-commitment intro to brand photography

Full sessions are the way to go if:

  • You’re rebranding or launching something new
  • You want to shoot at more than one location
  • You need a larger, more strategic collection of images
  • You want more support and collaboration throughout the planning process

Let’s Create Something That Feels Like You

We know this is a lot to take in—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. If you’re still unsure which session type is the best fit for your business, I’m always happy to hop on a quick call and walk through it with you.

Whether you’re looking for Detroit brand photography, a full Michigan brand photoshoot, or just a few fresh photos to show off the face behind your business—I’ve got you.
