Brand Strategy Photography Los Gatos
My brand strategy photography in Los Gatos serves Bay Area entrepreneurs who understand that professional imagery without strategy is just expensive decoration. These comprehensive sessions combine business consulting with visual creation, mapping your customer journey and identifying content gaps before we ever pick up a camera.
What Brand Strategy Photography Includes
Initial 20-Minute Phone Consultation
We start with a brief call to understand your business model, revenue goals, and current marketing challenges. This helps me determine if brand strategy photography is the right solution for where you are in your business.
In-Depth Brand Strategy Session
After you book, we schedule an in-person brand strategy consultation at my Los Gatos studio (typically 1.5-2 hours). This happens a few days to 2-3 weeks before your photo session.
This is where the real work happens. We map your customer journey from first awareness to final purchase. We identify every touchpoint where potential clients encounter your brand. We audit your current visual presence and identify gaps. We define your Ideal Client Avatar in detail, what they fear, what they crave, how to attract them.
You’ll create your Personal Brand Blueprint (a multi-framework snapshot of your voice, energy, and leadership style) and your Ideal Client Blueprint. We’ll map specific images to specific marketing functions. Homepage hero image that speaks to your ideal client’s pain point. About page portrait that builds trust. Service page imagery that demonstrates your process. Social content that maintains visibility. Email graphics that support campaigns.
You’ll leave this session with a complete shot list where every image has a strategic purpose tied to a specific business goal.
Professional Hair and Makeup
Every brand strategy photography session includes professional styling (60-75 minutes). We create a polished, camera-ready look that photographs beautifully while authentically representing who you are.
Comprehensive Photo Session
Brand strategy photography sessions have no time limit and typically run 4-6 hours. We shoot at my Los Gatos studio and can move to additional locations if your strategy requires environmental or lifestyle imagery.
We execute on the complete shot list we mapped during your strategy session. Every setup, every outfit, every expression serves the specific marketing function we identified. This is not random variety. This is systematic coverage of your entire visual brand strategy.
Strategic Location Planning
If your brand strategy requires imagery beyond the studio, we’ll discuss those locations during your consultation. Your office, your workspace, client meeting environments, anywhere that tells your brand story and supports your customer journey.
Unlimited Wardrobe Changes
Bring as many outfit options as you want for different contexts and customer journey stages. Professional authority for trust-building. Approachable casual for connection-building. Perhaps something bolder for attention-grabbing. Each wardrobe choice maps to a specific marketing function.
Image Selection Tied to Strategy
If we do image selection the same day, we’ll sit down together in person at the studio after your session. If we do it the next day, you choose whether you’d prefer to come back in person or hop on Zoom, whatever fits your schedule better.
You’ll see all your images. We’ll review them against the strategic shot list we created. Homepage hero: check. About page trust-builder: check. Social content variety: check. You’ll choose images knowing exactly where each one will be used and what business goal it serves.
Then we talk retouching preferences matched to your brand positioning and target audience expectations.
Professional Retouching on All Purchased Images
Every image you select receives professional retouching matched to your brand style and the specific platform or context where it will be used.

“I, for one dislike being in front of a camera, yet Gaby made me enjoy it and even made me photogenic!!”
Gaby was so lovely and inviting to my business partner and I from the very start. Amazing communication with us about any changes or updates always keeping us up to speed. Truly an amazing personal brand photographer with so much skill and patience, would recommend her to everyone for any and all your photography needs.
“I didn’t realize how much professional guidance would transform my photos”
I’ve always been comfortable in front of a camera but wow, I had no idea how small tweaks could make such a big difference. Gaby didn’t just take photos; she coached me on my poses, angles, and expressions completely leveling up my images.
“She completely understood the vibe of my wellbeing and coaching brand and captured it so beautifully”
Working with Gaby was an absolute joy! The whole shoot felt relaxed, fun, and genuinely joyful which totally shows in the photos.
She has such a talent for bringing out the real you and making your personal brand shine through every image. I felt seen, supported, and confident throughout the process. The final photos are stunning and feel so aligned with who I am and what my brand stands for.
“Gaby is a total pro at making you feel comfortable and relaxed”
I’m so glad I found Gaby Clark Photography! I was feeling super overwhelmed about getting new photos for my personal branding because, let’s be honest, I had no clue where to start. and most importantly, how do I make sure the photos actually show who I am.
Enter Gaby. From the first consultation, she made everything so easy. We sat down in person and went through everything like, EVERYTHING. She asked all the right questions about my business, the vibe I wanted to give off, and even where I planned to use the photos (LinkedIn, website, speaking gigs, etc.).
“Gaby isn’t just about taking pretty pictures; she genuinely wants you to succeed and helps you see the bigger picture when it comes to your brand”
She guided me through everything, from wardrobe choices to styling, and made the entire process so easy and fun.
When I got my photos back, I was honestly blown away.
“I’ve always avoided being in front of the camera, until now”
When I launched my pet photography business, I knew I needed professional branding photos. But as someone who has always been more comfortable behind the lens, I was nervous about stepping in front of it.From the moment we started, Gaby made me feel like a star. The experience was pure luxury, from wardrobe consultations to hair and makeup, to the calm, serene studio atmosphere. And for the first time ever, I actually had fun in a photoshoot!
If you’re rebranding, changing careers, or want to elevate your personal brand, do yourself a favor, get professional images that show who you truly are. They will change how you show up in the world.
