Signature Brand Story Sessions Los Gatos
My Signature Brand Story Sessions in Los Gatos serve entrepreneurs who need comprehensive visual storytelling that shows the full arc of their business. These multi-location sessions go beyond the studio to capture you in action, either at your office, your workshop, with clients, wherever your actual work happens.
What Signature Brand Story Sessions IncludeWhat Signature Brand Story Sessions IncludeWhat Signature Brand Story Sessions Include
Initial 20-Minute Phone Consultation
We start with a brief call to understand your business, your brand goals, and what you need these images to accomplish. This helps me determine if a Signature Brand Story Session is the right fit for your needs.
In-Person Brand Strategy and Wardrobe Consultation
After you book, we schedule an in-person strategy and wardrobe consultation at my Los Gatos studio (typically 1-1.5 hours). This happens a few days to 2-3 weeks before your actual photo session, depending on my availability and any special prep you need.
This is where we define your Ideal Client Avatar and brand personality together. We map out every shot across multiple locations—what story each location tells, what you’ll wear in each setting, what activities we’ll capture. You’ll 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).
You’ll leave this consultation knowing exactly what we’re creating across every location and why each image matters for your business.
Professional Hair and Makeup
Every Signature Brand Story 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 while still looking authentically like you.
Multi-Location Photo Session
These sessions have no time limit. We start at my Los Gatos studio at 117 Broadway for polished brand portraits and headshots with multiple backgrounds and setups. Then we move to your workspace and any other relevant locations.
Typical Signature Brand Story Sessions run 4-6 hours total, but we work at whatever pace feels comfortable and allows us to capture everything you need.
Unlimited Wardrobe Changes
Bring as many outfit options as you want for different locations and contexts. We’ll shoot professional studio looks, approachable working-from-home imagery, polished client-meeting attire, and casual behind-the-scenes content. You’ll have variety that still feels cohesive and authentically you.
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 tells part of your brand story. I’ll provide guidance on preparing each space and what activities we’ll capture in each setting.
Lifestyle and Action Shots
Beyond traditional portraits, we’ll 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.
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’s more convenient for you.
You’ll see all your images from every location. We’ll discuss which images work best for which platforms and purposes, and you’ll choose your favorites. Then we talk retouching preferences, minimal touch-ups or full magazine-style retouching. You decide what feels right for your brand.
Professional Retouching on All Purchased Images
Every image you select receives professional retouching matched to your brand style. Whether you want natural and minimal or polished and editorial, I customize the retouching to your preferences.
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.

“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.
