So, you’re thinking about brand photos? Smart move! Every business NEEDS professional brand photos, and they’re a worthy investment. If you’re reading this, you took the first step, and I hope I’m the lucky one who is behind the lens.
As an Exeter brand photographer, I make sure I know your goals and vision before I even pick up my camera so you get exactly what you are looking for. But when is the best time for brand photos? Let’s go over some of the many milestones when you might consider brand photos.
5 Signs It’s Time for New Brand Photos
1. Expanding If you’re lucky enough to be expanding your business, congratulations! It’s an exciting time, and you’ll want your photos to look as BIG as you feel like now. Here are three ways to use brand photography to show the world your expansion.
Updated location shots – Whether you are looking for interior shots, exterior, or a mix of both, this is a great way to display a new location.
Show off new products – What better way to let customers see your new products/services/menu items in action! New photos can help generate buzz and get people talking.
Rebranding – Change is good! If your photos are looking a little stale you should consider updating them to reflect your brand’s new style and vibe!
2. New Website Be honest, what’s the first thing that grabs your attention when you visit a website? I’d be willing to bet it’s not the words. It’s the IMAGES! Beautiful images can take your website from boring to breathtaking.
3. New Team Members There’s nothing that sparks a feeling of spirit quite like getting together with your team members. If you’ve hired new team members, make them feel valued and welcomed with updated photos. Show off those new faces on your website and social media so your customers already feel like they know everyone! Don’t forget individual shots so you can use them for employee spotlight features.
4. New Services Proud to offer a brand new service? Draw in prospective customers and get your loyal customers excited by showing them exactly what they can expect. Remember, images tell a story, and this is the perfect opportunity.
5.You Just Wanna Lastly, you don’t need a reason to get beautiful photos for your business. Think of them as a gift for YOU! Your new photos can be used in so many different ways they will likely pay for themselves soon enough. You work hard on your business, so you deserve to treat yourself to beautiful branding photos. You’ll thank yourself.

Meeting Santa is such a magical, memorable moment for a child!
I remember my mom taking me to see Santa at the mall. We waited in a SUPER long line, and I was so nervous to meet Santa the whole time! I can’t even remember what I said to him, but it probably wasn’t what I had planned. It’s a little scary for kids because while they love Santa, meeting such a special person is a BIG moment. Some kids are shy and need a minute to warm up, but with the long line behind them, kids usually get, what, one full minute with Santa?!
As an Exeter family photographer, I wanted to create a better experience for your child and your whole family! The holidays are stressful for families, so let’s make this holiday season less stressful and more memorable with Private Pictures with Santa in my downtown Exeter, NH studio!
5 Benefits of a Private Santa Experience in Downtown Exeter, NH
1. Stress-Free Experience – This is a stress-free experience for you AND your child. There’s no dragging the family to a public event and waiting in a long line. No hoping the line moves a little faster while your kids get crankier and crankier waiting. The Santa Experience is an easy-breezy session experience. Once you book your session time, you just need to arrive shortly before your time to see Santa – that’s IT.
2. No Waiting – I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time to stand around in a long line! I remember dreading taking my kids to a local event with Santa because I had no idea how long to expect. Would we wait 30 minutes? An hour!? TWO hours!? No idea. It caused me to feel more stressed, which made my kids stressed. With a private experience, you just show up for your time! NO waiting.
3. Private Experience – I mentioned above that some kids are shy and need time to warm up to Santa. I would say most kids need a minute or two to warm up to Santa. It makes total sense! Santa is a stranger. One that they’re very excited about and brings them presents, but still, a total stranger! The Santa Experience gives your children an opportunity to warm up to Santa. After they warm up and feel relaxed, we get the best, most natural smiles.
4. Great for the Christmas Card – I think it goes without saying, but the image(s) from this session creates the BEST Christmas card photo! No more frantically going through photos on your phone trying to find a decent picture for the Christmas card. This. is. It!!
5. Treasured Memory for Your Children – Imagine being able to create a memorable experience for your children! Instead of remembering long lines or a stressed-out mom, they get to a magical moment with Santa that they’ll never forget, with images to remember it by.

That sweet baby you’ve been dying to meet is almost here! As you research different Exeter newborn photographers, you might be wondering if a studio session is right for you. While I do offer both at-home and in-studio newborn portraits, there is something so magical about a studio portrait session. When clients will come to me asking for a simple, timeless professional portrait of their newborn, I highly recommend a studio session. Here are some reasons why you might choose a studio newborn photography session, some perks, and a bit more about my studio space.
Why Choose Classic Studio Newborn Photography
Your newborn is absolutely perfect just the way they are. No props or fancy setups needed. A classic, simple newborn portrait is one that you will cherish forever with your newborn as the star of the show. These portraits will always look beautiful on the walls of your home. Mama, I encourage you to be in the images as well. Those first official portraits of you and your newborn will always hold a special place in your heart.
Perks of a Newborn Studio Session
While it might seem easier just to have your newborn photographer come to your home, there are so many perks of a newborn studio session! Here are a few reasons why you might choose a studio newborn portrait session.
1. Let Me Do the Prep – You don’t have to clean, organize, or panic about where to take these portraits in your home. The studio will be clean and waiting for you with all my wraps and setups handy.
2. Less Time – Since I’ll have everything ready for you, we can start the session a little quicker and spend less time staging before taking portraits. Newborn portrait sessions tend to take 2 hours (with breaks), but at home, they can take longer. NO big deal; it’s just something to consider!
3. Classic, Clean Look – You might change your home’s style, switch up décor, or even move! But your studio newborn portraits will always have that classic, clean look that will look amazing with anything.
4. Full-Service Newborn Photography – The first few weeks with your newborn is a whirlwind. You’re learning how to take care of a newborn and heal from birth. I’d love to take care of your newborn session for you so that all you have to do is show up to the studio and let me handle everything from there. I’ll have your wardrobe, hair and makeup, any newborn wraps, setups, etc. ALL ready and waiting for you. You can literally show up in yoga pants and a ponytail.

I even have 4 tips for a stress-free family photo session right here for you. However, I’ve noticed that my families feel more relaxed in the summer. There’s something wonderful and carefree about spending a summer day taking portraits with your family!
Natural Summer Glow – Your family will always look just perfect. But just think – summer portraits mean your family will have a natural summer glow from spending time outside!
Wear Summer Clothes – I personally love summer attire for family portraits. You’ll always look at these portraits and feel happy summer vibes. Not sure what to wear? Check out my guide on what to wear for summer family photos.
Enjoy Your Portrait Artwork Faster – It’s no secret that printing and displaying your family photos is good for your children. Your children will love seeing their photos on the walls and feel secure in their place in the world.
