FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should I choose Vanessa Stump Photography?
With years of experience photographing creative entrepreneurs, small businesses, and purpose-driven teams in Los Angeles, I specialize in creating layered, high-impact images that are bright, inviting, and deeply aligned with your brand. Clients often tell me they feel at ease in front of my camera, and I pride myself on making every shoot feel thoughtful, collaborative, and fun - while delivering visuals that actively support your marketing efforts.
How long does a brand photography session take?
Brand sessions typically range from 3 to 6 hours, depending on your package and the number of locations or setups. I’ll provide a clear timeline so we can make the most of our time together and capture everything you need—from portraits and behind-the-scenes shots to styled details and product moments.
I’m not a model - will you help me feel comfortable on camera? Absolutely. Most of my clients aren’t models - they’re real people running amazing businesses. I’ll guide you through natural posing, expressions, and ways to move so your photos feel authentic and confident (never stiff or overly staged). My job is to help you look and feel your best, while capturing images that truly reflect who you are.
Will you help with planning locations and wardrobe?
Yes! Location and wardrobe choices play a huge role in the look and feel of your brand images. I’ll guide you through the planning process with personalized suggestions based on your goals, brand aesthetic, and where your photos will be used. Whether we’re shooting in a studio, on location, or at your workspace, I’ll help you create a cohesive visual plan—including wardrobe ideas that align with your brand colors and story.
How many outfit changes are included?
Most brand sessions include 2–4 outfit changes, depending on the length of your shoot and your content needs. We’ll talk about this in advance and plan wardrobe changes that give you variety without slowing us down. The goal is to create a collection of images that feel fresh and versatile across platforms.
Where can I use my brand photos?
Your brand photos are designed to be used everywhere - your website, social media, email newsletters, speaker profiles, digital courses, media kits, and press features. I’ll help you create a diverse image library that works hard for your brand long after our shoot is over.
