If you’re a CEO or service based entrepreneur in the Quad Cities, your brand deserves more than a basic headshot.
I had the honor of photographing Allison Germundson, the powerhouse behind the million dollar practice—One Strong Woman Therapy. While Allison practices as occupational therapist and certified lactation consultant, this branding session focused on something even bigger—her role as a CEO. When she’s not running OSW, she’s also working as a coach to help other therapists build successful private practices. So this wasn’t just about photos… it was about visibility, leadership, and showing up confidently online.
Creating Strategic Content During a Branding Session
As we focused on Allison’s role as a mentor, we intentionally created images that positioned her as a leader. We kept the vibe professional but fun. Allison is incredibly knowledgeable, but she’s also relatable and oh-so funny. Long story short—we made sure her branding photos reflected her personality, and that balance matters.
We captured polished branding headshots that she can use for:
✔️ Her websiteSpeaking engagements
✔️ Podcast interviews
✔️ Social media profiles
✔️ Coaching program launches
However, we didn’t stop there. We also created strategic content images.
We photographed her working on her laptop. We zoomed in on her notebooks and planning materials. We documented quiet, focused moments that didn’t show her face at all. Why? Because CEOs and coaches need more than smiling photos. They need storytelling images.
Why You Need Personal Branding Photography
If you’re an Iowa business coach, therapist, or service-based entrepreneur, having strong brand photos builds trust instantly. People don’t just buy services. They buy into leaders.
When your audience sees you confidently working, planning, teaching, and leading, they start to see you as the expert. That visual authority matters.
Branding photos help you:
✔️ Show your personality
✔️ Create consistent content
✔️ Elevate your online presence
✔️ Stand out in a saturated market
✔️ Look established and professional
And here’s the thing, stock photos don’t build connections. Your audience wants to see you.
That’s exactly what we did for Allison. We created images that show her as the CEO of One Strong Woman Therapy. Not just the therapist. Not just the coach. The leader.
What Allie’s Saying
“Obsessed is an understatement. Working with Brianna was FUN, easy, and honestly empowering. She made me feel so comfortable and confident, which is not always easy in front of a camera. She totally got my vision and brought out the playful, bold, strong side of me and my brand. The photos are everything I hoped for and more. If you want someone who hypes you up, makes you feel like a badass, and delivers incredible images, she’s your girl.”
