THE CORE
 BRAND SESSION

Where Des Moines's Boldest Brands Get Camera-Ready↓

You need brand photos that do more than look pretty! This is the kind of Iowa brand photography that builds instant trust, stops the scroll, and turns "just looking" into "where do I book." The Core Brand Session is my most popular, most-loved package for exactly that reason: it's everything you need to market like you mean it, for months on end. One shoot, endless content, zero stock-photo vibes.

Because you didn't come this far to let AI generate your headshot.

You want a brand photographer who gets it.

Someone who brings the strategy, the direction, and (let's be honest) the fun.

You need content that actually converts.


Not just "nice photos", visuals that build trust and get you booked.

You're tired of stiff, forgettable headshots.

The kind that look like they belong on a DMV wall, not your website.

Here’s Where Things Get Spicy

The Core Brand Session isn't a quick headshot swap, it's a full creative-and-strategic experience, built to fuel your marketing for the next 6–12 months. 

Think multiple looks, multiple locations, and a library of images so good, you'll actually want to post them.

"WORKING WITH HER WAS TRULY A DREAM."

Working with Kirstie for my Real Estate branding photos was truly a dream! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease—she has such a calming, kind presence and really took the time to understand me and my business. She made the whole branding shoot experience feel fun, empowering, and completely natural (which is saying a lot when you don't love being in front of the camera).
