Our Proven Process
Curious about what it’s like to work with us for your Branding Photography? Below is our proven process that we use with our clients to ensure that your experience is seamless (and enjoyable!) from start to finish.
1. Create a Game Plan
We know you’re busy– we’ll schedule a phone call and discuss your photography needs so we can select the perfect Branding Session for you, and schedule your first session 4-6 weeks out. While you continue your regular schedule over these next weeks, we’ll be researching your industry and come up with the way to best market you and your brand.
2. Creative Consultation
We’ll create an in-depth Brand Questionnaire for you to make sure you get the perfect images for you, and that it works with our game plan. With your answers, we’ll be able to craft the perfect branding session for you; whether you’re looking to attract sponsors, customers, or evolve your image, we’ll create a plan that matches both your vision and your schedule. We’ll help you choose locations, wardrobe choices, and stylized scenes for your brand content that will set you apart from the competitors.
3. Create Innovative Content and Capture Amazing Images
After we come up with a game plan and complete planning, we’ll be able to begin branding you and your company to give you a new elevated image. We’ll create unique images together to capture your brand’s personality and aesthetic. Throughout the session, we’ll be making sure that you’re both comfortable and confident– after working so hard to build your brand, you should be proud and confident of the work that you’ve done.
4. Curate + Deliver
After your session is complete, our in-house editing team will put the finishing touches on your images so that you look your very best. Within one week of your session, your final high resolution images will be posted in an online gallery. You’ll then download your gorgeous new images directly from the gallery.
5. Elevate!
After a Bauman Photographers branding session, you’ll end up with images that elevate your brand, set you apart from your competition, and catch the eyes of who you’re looking to attract. No longer having to devote time to updating your branding, you’ll be able to focus on other areas of yourself and company as you’ll have materials that can be easily used to market yourself both online and on paper to customers, sponsors, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you help me with what to wear?
Absolutely! We will send a personalized mood board prior to your session, where we’ll talk through plenty of outfit inspiration. You will shop and source your outfits on your own, but we’re here to help you choose the most flattering looks and give you direction on what will look best on camera.
How soon can I book my Branding Session?
Ideally, we prefer to book 4-6 weeks in advance so that we have plenty of time to research and prepare for your customized Branding Session. If you have a tight timeline, we can most likely accommodate your session earlier than 4 weeks – however, the shooting locations we have access to for your session may be limited.
Do you book Hair & Makeup for me?
Yes! We always include professional makeup with all of our Branding Sessions, and if you’re booking a Complete Branding Session (full-day), we include a professional hair stylist as well. We’ll take care of booking the stylists for you, and they will meet you on site prior to your session. It’s one less thing for you to worry about!
Do you have a limit on the number of locations we can include in the session?
We don’t have a limit – however, we are realistic with our shooting timeline! We’ll create an in-depth shoot timeline ahead of time so that you know exactly how we’ll spend your day, and we’ll set a realistic expectation of how many locations will be possible in that timeframe.
Will I get to keep all of the images in my gallery?
With our Branding Sessions, we know you are here because you need a wide assortment of new images for your brand. So – yes! You will have the full download to your entire online gallery.
Do you include any retouching for my images?
We include 10 fully retouched images (of your choice) for a Complete Branding Session, and 5 retouched images for a Half-Day Session. However, you always have the option to purchase additional retouched images at any time for just $10/each.
Can I bring my team with me?
