Personal branding photography
Helping you show up confidently — in business and in life.
You’ve put your heart into what you’re building. You’ve done the work, taken the leap, and now it’s time to truly be seen. But let’s be honest—being in front of the camera doesn’t always feel easy.
You want to look like yourself—genuine, confident, approachable—but you’re not quite sure how to bring that out in a photo. You’re not alone. Most women I work with say the same thing at first.
That’s where I come in.
My job isn’t just to take your photo. My gift is helping you feel comfortable enough that your real self shows up in every image—because that’s what your audience connects with. The energy, the personality, the confidence you already have—it just needs a little space to shine.

The Process
Every session is centered around you—your brand, your vibe, your message. I’ll guide you through the entire process so you feel relaxed and natural. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. You just need to show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
-
We’ll start with a no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit and talk about your vision for your brand photos.
-
If we move forward, you’ll share a Pinterest board or vision ideas so I can get a feel for your style, colors, energy, and brand vibe.
-
I’ll create a customized shoot plan — including locations, outfits, props, and timing — so you feel completely prepared and confident going into the day.
-
We’ll bring your brand to life in a relaxed, guided session that highlights your personality and connects with your ideal client.

After the session, you’ll receive your fully edited digital gallery — ready to use on your website, social media, and anywhere you want to show up as your best self.
“Malinda was just a pleasure to work with! Not only is she a gifted photographer, she has a way of really making you feel at ease and comfortable. I felt like she really listened to my wants and needs and was able to convey that image I wanted to present for my brand effectively. Thank you so much for helping me present my best self with your beautiful images.”
If you’re ready to step into your brand with authenticity and ease, I’d be honored to help capture that.
Over a decade ago, I picked up a camera as a creative outlet. But what truly lit me up was photographing women in a way that made them feel empowered. As someone who has always loved cheering others on, personal branding photography became a natural extension of that passion.
I’ve learned that when a woman sees herself through the lens of support and encouragement, something shifts. She starts showing up differently. More boldly. More confidently. More herself.
