Professional Branding Studio Sessions Los Gatos
My professional branding studio sessions in Los Gatos serve entrepreneurs launching new brands, pivoting their business, or completely refreshing their visual identity. These full-day studio experiences combine comprehensive photography with strategic brand development to create a complete visual system that works across every touchpoint where potential clients find you.
What Professional Branding Studio Sessions Include
Initial 20-Minute Phone Consultation
We start with a brief call to understand your business, your brand transition, and the scope of visual identity work you need. This helps me determine if a professional branding studio session is the right fit for where you are in your business.
In-Depth Brand Clarity and Strategy Session
After you book, we schedule an in-person brand strategy and wardrobe consultation at my Los Gatos studio (typically 1.5-2 hours). This happens a few days to 2-3 weeks before your actual photo session.
This is deep work. We define your Ideal Client Avatar together. We clarify your brand personality, your unique positioning, and the specific way you want to be perceived in your market. We create your Personal Brand Blueprint (a multi-framework snapshot of your voice, energy, and leadership style) and your Ideal Client Blueprint (defining who your people really are, what they fear, what they crave, and how to attract them).
We map out every shot you need across your entire visual identity. Website hero images. About page portraits. Service page imagery. Social media content. Email signatures. Speaking materials. Lead magnets. Sales pages. You’ll leave this consultation with a complete shot list and strategic direction for your entire brand refresh.
Professional Hair and Makeup
Every professional branding studio session includes professional styling (60-75 minutes). We create a polished, camera-ready look that photographs beautifully while authentically representing who you are. This is not transformation. This is you at your most confident and polished.
Full-Day Studio Experience
Professional branding studio sessions have no time limit and typically run 4-6 hours. We shoot everything you need for a complete visual brand refresh. Multiple backgrounds, multiple setups, multiple expressions and energies. By the end of your session, you’ll have comprehensive coverage for every brand touchpoint.
Unlimited Wardrobe Changes
Bring as many outfit options as you want. We’ll shoot professional corporate looks for serious business contexts. Approachable casual imagery for social media and connection-building. Perhaps something bolder or more creative that shows personality. You’ll have variety that still feels cohesive and authentically aligned with your brand.
Complete Visual Coverage
We create imagery for every context where your brand appears. Formal headshots for professional directories and credentials. Approachable portraits for your website about page. Energetic social media content. Behind-the-scenes lifestyle shots. Serious thought leadership imagery. Warm connection-building portraits. You’ll leave with a complete visual library, not just a handful of similar shots.
Strategic Setup Variety
My Los Gatos studio at 117 Broadway is designed for comprehensive brand sessions. We’ll shoot classic backgrounds, modern editorial setups, environmental portraits that show you working, lifestyle imagery that reveals personality. Every setup serves a specific strategic purpose we mapped during your brand consultation.
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. We’ll discuss which portraits work best for which brand touchpoints, and you’ll choose your selections. Then we talk retouching preferences. Full magazine-style retouching or more natural minimal touch-ups. 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. Whether you want natural and authentic or polished and editorial, I customize the retouching to your specific preferences and industry standards.
Complete Visual Marketing System
You’ll receive your professionally retouched images within 1 week via website download. High-resolution files ready for any professional use.

Let’s discuss your brand positioning and create a complete visual system that reflects where your business is today.
“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.
