Who it is for
- Attorneys and advisors. A website, directory and LinkedIn presence that reads as credible before the first consultation.
- Executives and founders. Leadership pages, investor decks, press features and announcements.
- Speakers, authors and coaches. Keynote promotion, event programs, book jackets and course launches.
- Performers and musicians. Press kits, album and program art, venue and festival promotion.
- Doctors, realtors and consultants. The face of a practice, consistent across every listing and profile.
More than a headshot
A headshot shows what you look like. A personal branding session shows what you do and how it feels to work with you. Expect several looks, close portraits and full-length frames, moments of movement and expression, and a finished set designed to work together across every place your name appears. If you only need a clean, current headshot, see our professional headshots.
How a session works
- Planning. Before the session we agree on where the images will live, the wardrobe, the colors and the mood.
- Styling. Hair and makeup, wardrobe direction and backdrops chosen to match your brand.
- The session. At our studio inside the Silos at Sawyer Yards, or on location at your office, venue or stage.
- Delivery. You choose from the proofs, and we retouch the finals for web, print and social.

What clients say
“I wanted something moody, editorial, and striking that would be something I would love, rather than just a picture of me in a blazer. Ashkan DID NOT disappoint.”

Questions
What should I wear?
Bring more than you think you need: something you wear to work, something you wear on stage or to an event, and one piece that feels most like you. We help you choose on the day.
How is this different from a headshot?
A headshot is one look and one purpose. A personal branding session builds a set of images in several looks and settings, so your website, profiles and press all tell the same story.
Can you photograph at my office or venue?
Yes. Most sessions take place at our Houston studio, where lighting and backdrops are fully controlled, and we bring the lighting to you when your own space is part of the story.
How much does a personal branding session cost?
Sessions start at $190 for one hour in the studio with one retouched image. The Creative Session is $1,350 and Style-in-Motion is $2,550. A single headshot is $120.
When will I get my images?
Your images are delivered within 72 hours of your session.
