INTENTIONAL IMAGERY
THAT SELLS BEFORE YOU SPEAK
I’m Manali & I'm here to help you elevate your brand’s aesthetic with intentional imagery through my hands-on, collaborative approach to each and every brand session.
End goal? For you to feel comfortable in front of the camera & confident behind your business — so you walk away with elevated brand imagery and have more than the SAME 3 images every time you post

You bring the vision for your business...
And I’ll create our strategic shot concepts & help you look and feel your best in front of the camera!
Say goodbye to overused images or hesitating hitting publish

Frequently Asked Questions
I am highly interactive with posing & laying out details during the Branding Experience! I'll work through our shoot plan that I'll share with you beforehand to make sure we're maximizing our time together so you have an incredible variety & depth in your final gallery!
After we chat during our consult, we'll choose a date & collection that works best for your brand! After your proposal is signed & your retainer is paid, we start with the fun part of the process of planning for your session!
This is why we'll hop on a consultation call! We'll chat through what your brands' needs are, what content and big projects you have rolling out over the next few quarters to figure out which collection would best serve you!
You'll receive an online gallery 3 weeks after our session with web-sized & full resolution JPG images. I usually average about 75 images per hour of shooting but it is dependent on how many outfit changes & location changes we have!
Of course! You'll also receive your print release to print and share your images for your personal & commercial use. You'll have the ability to lightly retouch your images to cohesively fit in with your brand if you so desire.
I have a cohesive Locations List in my Branding Session Playbook. After chatting with you & familiarizing myself with your brand, I'd be more than happy to suggest a few for you to look into & book for our session together!
Yes, absolutely! My clients send me photos of outfits all the time when they need help narrowing down their options. I'll come up with a complete props & packing list for you to use 1 week before your session arrives so you can prep before!
