Charlotte Brand Photography for Personal, Lifestyle, and Small Businesses

When Your Brand Features High-Quality, High-Personality Photos and Videos, Marketing Becomes a Whole Lot Easier (and More Fun).

Get Noticed for Being You

Because everyone else is already taken

(and who wants to be them, anyway?)

Personal brand photography should capture the personal you — how you move, how you work, how you run a business with purpose, joy, and that signature scrunch in your nose.

Once your clients (and you!) can clearly see what makes you different, booking your business feels like a no-brainer.

Why Book Fay and Company for Your Charlotte Brand Photography?

You know video is the secret sauce to selling — and so do we. 

Most of our clients add B-roll, Reels, or testimonial video to their sessions. 

You get to tackle two tasks at once, you save time and money, and all your content looks consistent… talk about a no-brainer.

Photo and video under one roof

Most of our clients make back their investment with a single new booking. Here’s why.

Lauren Bogenrief

Working with Julia and Erica for my business branding shoot was a 10/10 experience. They were efficient in their editing, great communication throughout the process, and I really enjoyed the shoot. My photos are FABULOUS and will be used in my content for years to come!”

"A 10/10 experience"

Jodi, interior design firm leader

“None of us were really 'looking forward to today' - I mean, we were all excited, but also intimidated, nervous and a little unsure. YOU single-handedly eliminated ALL of those uncertainties - almost instantly. I don't need to see a single image to know that today was a complete success and a dream come true for me - the one that said 'HEY - what if we do a branding shoot!?' and then spent HOURS researching photogs. I kept coming back to your page and now I know why. I'm grateful you shared it with our team today.”

"Your talent goes FAR beyond your lens - as does our connection."

Marie, home organizer

“I was honestly so nervous and stressed going into our brand photoshoot but Julia made everything feel effortless. From start to finish, she created such a calm, fun environment that allowed all of us to relax and actually enjoy the process. When I saw the photos, I was speechless. They were absolutely STUNNING! Beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Julia captured my brand perfectly and made me feel confident in front of the camera."

"Truly exceeded every expectation!”

Misty, interior designer

"Working with her is a breeze— she makes the entire process fun and effortless. From the start, she puts together an inspiring mood board that reflects your brand, bringing innovative ideas and a clear plan for the photo session. Julia has an incredible talent for making you feel confident and comfortable, and it shines through in the photos. I've done two all-day sessions with her for CoCreative Interiors, my interior design business, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. She also goes above and beyond by recommending top-notch stylists, makeup artists, and more for a complete, polished experience. I highly recommend Julia for any entrepreneur looking to elevate their brand with stunning, authentic photography.”

“Julia is an exceptional branding photographer who truly understands how to capture the essence of powerhouse women."

Sarah Black

“I have worked with Julia for several years for branding photography. She is truly the best in the industry! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her work is incredible.”

"She communicates quickly and delivers photos in a timely manner.”

Kristin Keister

“I’ve worked with Julia and her team twice now for branding photos and she is so talented and overall wonderful to work with. She is so sweet and made me feel comfortable and confident during my shoot. I definitely plan to work with her again in the future. 😁”

"I’m obsessed with my photos!"

Miranda Whitley

“As a business owner who works with clients virtually, I knew branding photos were so important to have done so clients can put a face and have a connection with who they are communicating with! We hired Julia Fay Photography and it has been one of the best decisions we have done for our business! We have used our photos all over our website, social media, business cards, etc.”

"The investment has been WELL worth it and we can't wait to have her and her team do more!”

Kelly

“As a new business owner, I felt a lot of pressure to get these photos "right" for my website. She made me feel confident and relaxed immediately. I can't wait to see the end results. She truly is so special.”

"The time spent with her is something I will remember forever!"

Meg Seitz, toth shop

She listens, learns, and brainstorms with me.”

"Every photo shoot starts BEFORE the shoot with a planning session;

FAQs About Charlotte Brand Photography

How are brand photos different from headshots?

A headshot says, "Here's my face." Brand photography says, "Here's who I am, what I do, and why you should care." 

Our Charlotte brand photography gives you a full library of images and/or videos of you working, living, creating, and looking fly. You’ll have all the visual content you need to make an electric connection with potential clients on your website, social media, and anywhere else your marketing appears.

If that sounds like overkill for your situation, check out our corporate photography services for professional headshots. (And if it sounds like underkill — if that’s even a thing — check out our commercial photography services for larger, product-based business photo shoots.)

What types of businesses do you work with?

All kinds! From designers to accountants, from real estate companies to luxury hair salons, we’ve worked with hundreds of different companies in Charlotte and across the country. As long as smart, profitable brand photography is what you’re after, we can work with your industry.

How much does brand photography in Charlotte cost?

Our Charlotte brand photography sessions range from $400 for focused mini sessions to $3,000+ for half-day, all-inclusive packages. Most clients invest between $950 and $2,000 in their branding package. To determine what makes the most sense for your brand, download our full investment guide, or book a consultation call to chat through custom options.

The short answer: you don't have to spend a fortune to walk away with images that feel like you, look like fire, and make you much more money than you spent.

What if I’m nervous?

Then you’re also NORMAL. 99% of our clients say they’re nervous about being photographed. We expect you to have chilly feet… just like we expect to help you warm up as soon as you get to know us. We specialize in working with entrepreneurs who are convinced they'll hate every single photo of themselves, and then end up with a gallery they can't stop sharing. Try us.

Where do you shoot? Do you have a studio in Charlotte?

We shoot all over Charlotte: coffee shops, outdoor locations, your workspace, wherever makes sense for your brand. We do have our own stunning photography space in Matthews, the Lived-In Creative Studio, available for complimentary use with our Signature Brand and Brand Refresh sessions. If you’re outside the CLT, we can travel both domestically and internationally for an additional fee.

Whether you want airy outdoor vibes, a cozy studio space, or something on location, we'll help you figure out what combination of spots will give your gallery the most versatility.

What should I wear to my branding session? Do you offer hair and makeup?

If we had a dollar for every time we’ve been asked this, we could treat you to dinner at Fig Tree. But don’t worry — we’re here to help with every aesthetic Q you’ve got. Between our shared mood board, wardrobe guide, and collaboration throughout the planning process (including our brutally honest feedback), you’ll feel completely confident showing up for your session.

While we don’t offer hair and makeup services in-house, we partner with top-notch local artists to help you look and feel your very best. Request our investment guide to see our recommendations.

Feel like you could benefit from even more professional styling for your entire shoot? Check out our Creative Pursuit package, which includes complete personal styling and on-set direction for a totally plug-and-play experience.

How many photos will I receive from my brand photography session?

It depends on the package you book. You'll receive a minimum of 75 edited images from the Brand Refresh and a minimum of 150 from the Signature Brand Experience — with no maximum. We deliver the strongest, most complete collection from your session, not a cherry-picked handful. That means your gallery will give you months, if not years, of premium marketing content.

How is Fay and Company different from other Charlotte brand photographers?

We don’t just show up and click a shutter. We act as your strategic creative partner, helping you develop the concept, choose locations, build a shot list, and direct the entire session. Not with stiff poses, either — but with real laughs, organic positions, and even editorial concepts, depending on your brand goals.

We also offer both high-quality photography and videography, so your content can work together across platforms instead of looking like it came from five different places. Our wide variety of experience means we can easily adapt to achieve your creative vision. And our overall approach is the perfect blend of professional, communicative, and reassuring (if we do say so ourselves).

What happens after our session?

Share that content far and wide! If we’ve planned our session well (of course we have), you’ll have enough photos and videos to promote on your website and social media for a very long time. 

Many of our clients come back every quarter to keep their content fresh and consistent — especially if they're active on social media or regularly launching new offers. Some opt for the Video Vault, our exclusive library of short video clips to supplement your marketing between shoots. We’re happy to discuss whatever ongoing support looks like for your brand.

Fill out our contact form to tell us about your goals, set up a call, and get you on our calendar ASAP.

All right, so when are we doing this?
