Personal Brand Strategy Sessions Los Gatos
My personal brand strategy sessions in Los Gatos serve Bay Area entrepreneurs who need comprehensive brand development combined with visual storytelling. These intensive experiences start with deep strategic work defining your positioning and ideal client, then bring that strategy to life through multi-location photography that shows the full arc of your business.
What Personal Brand Strategy Sessions Include
Initial 20-Minute Phone Consultation
We start with a brief call to understand your business, your current challenges, and what you need to accomplish with this brand work. This helps me determine if a personal brand strategy session is the right solution for where you are.
In-Depth Brand Strategy and Wardrobe Consultation
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 intensive strategic work. We define your Ideal Client Avatar in detail. We clarify your unique positioning and what genuinely separates you from others doing similar work. We create your Personal Brand Blueprint, a multi-framework snapshot of your voice, energy, and leadership style. We create your Ideal Client Blueprint, defining who your people really are, what they fear, what they crave, and how to attract them with energy that connects.
Then we map your complete visual brand strategy. We identify every location where we’ll shoot and what story each location tells. Your studio portraits for polished brand imagery. Your office or workspace for behind-the-scenes authenticity. Client meeting spaces for demonstrating your process. Anywhere the full arc of your business happens.
You’ll leave this consultation with complete clarity on your positioning and a detailed shot list for your multi-location session.
Professional Hair and Makeup
Every personal brand strategy session includes professional styling (60-75 minutes) at the beginning of your shoot day. We create a polished, camera-ready look that photographs beautifully across both studio and lifestyle settings.
Multi-Location Photography Session
Personal brand strategy sessions have no time limit and typically run 4-6 hours total. We start at my Los Gatos studio at 117 Broadway for polished brand portraits and headshots. Then we move to your workspace and other relevant locations that show you in action.
These sessions capture the complete story of your business. Professional studio imagery. Environmental portraits in your workspace. Action shots of you working with clients or creating your product. Behind-the-scenes lifestyle content. The variety and depth needed to position you comprehensively across every marketing context.
Unlimited Wardrobe Changes
Bring as many outfit options as you want for different locations and contexts. Professional studio looks. Approachable working-from-home imagery. Polished client-meeting attire. Casual behind-the-scenes content. You’ll have variety that tells your complete brand story.
Strategic Location Planning
During your pre-session consultation, we’ll discuss every location where we’ll shoot. Your home office. Your client meeting space. A coffee shop where you work. Your workshop or studio. Anywhere that reveals part of your brand story. I’ll provide guidance on preparing each space and what activities we’ll capture.
Lifestyle and Action Photography
Beyond traditional portraits, we capture you working. On client calls. Creating your product. Writing. Presenting. Consulting. Whatever your actual work looks like. These authentic action shots help potential clients see themselves working with you and understand the transformation you provide.
Image Selection
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 from every location. We’ll discuss which images work best for which brand touchpoints and marketing contexts, and you’ll choose your selections. Then we talk retouching preferences, from minimal natural editing to full magazine-style retouching. You decide what feels right for your brand positioning.
Professional Retouching on All Purchased Images
Every image you select receives professional retouching matched to your brand style and the specific context where each 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.
