What to Expect When You Book a Lifestyle or Branding Session with me!

Before launching 1 Lens Media as a Connecticut lifestyle photographer and branding photographer, I spent 15 years behind the scenes at ESPN covering some of the biggest moments in sports—from the NFL and boxing to UFC and international events.

Working in live television taught me to anticipate moments before they happen, adapt to change on the fly, and capture real emotions under pressure. These skills now shape every lifestyle photography and personal branding session I photograph throughout Connecticut and New England.

Whether you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, creative professional, or content creator, every branding photography session is designed to create images that feel authentic, professional, and unmistakably you. I especially love working with female business owners, sports figures, and like-minded creatives!

You don't need any experience in front of the camera. I'll guide you through posing, movement, and expressions as much—or as little—as you need so you feel comfortable and confident throughout your session. My goal is to make the experience relaxed and enjoyable—if you’re not having fun, then I’m not doing my job!

Before your session, we'll discuss your business, your goals, and how you plan to use your images—whether it's for your website, LinkedIn profile, social media, marketing materials, or print/advertising campaigns. This allows us to create a gallery tailored to your brand and the platforms where your photos will make the biggest impact.

Custom monthly social media packages are available with the option for video add-ons.
