Author Photography

Headshots, Lifestyle, Event

Because in a crowded market, visuals sometimes speak louder than words.

Why Hire a Professional Photographer?

First Impressions Matter

Smartphone pics won’t cut it. Professional images instantly elevate and help your work stand out in a sea of selfies and amateur images.

Show Off Your Personality

Capture your tone, style, and spark with lifestyle and branding images. Show the personality behind the pages!

Build a Visual Library

Build a curated collection of on-brand images you can use everywhere, at any time. 

Headshots

A great headshot builds trust and connection—it’s often a reader’s first impression of the author behind the book.

It’s a key piece of your professional presence, appearing on your website, book jacket, press materials, event posters, and more.

I specializing in outdoor, natural-light headshot sessions, creating portraits that will feel timeless, approachable, and authentically you.

Not only does Bree have a keen eye for capturing just the right headshot, she also possesses the distinct ability to disarm the subject, somehow making the entire experience comfortable, fun, and altogether delightful.

Branding & Lifestyle

Branding & Lifestyle

Branding photography goes a step furter than headshots. These lifestyle sessions capture you in a more creative way—in a park, at your desk, in a coffeeshop—and gives you more creative freedom to express who you are. 

Perfect for use across websites, social media, book promotions, and more, this type of session gives you an entire suite of images to have in your back pocket. 

A branding session includes a mix of headshots, lifestyle images, detail shots, and candid moments—all created to tell your story.

Event

From book signings and launch parties to panels and literary events, I provide documentary-style coverage that highlights the excitement, emotion, and connection of your event.

These high-quality images are ideal for post-event promotion, media outreach, and your long-term marketing library.

You’ve put a lot into bringing your book into the world—Enjoy your party while I take the pictures.
