Business Branding PHOTOGRAPHY
I offer two types of branding sessions, Personal Branding is for solopreneurs and small businesses, and Employer Branding for larger companies who need a more comprehensive package and variety of image types.
Your Session Experience
My specialty is posing guidance, I will lead and guide you through the entire session so you look your best and feel like the images represent your business.
Once we decide to work together, we will do a consultation and get prepared to create your branding images together. When your brand is visually cohesive, you become instantly memorable and relatable. The end result is more of your dream clients and opportunities.
If you’re searching for a San Diego branding photographer who understands how to capture more than just a pretty headshot, you’re in the right place. I work with creatives, entrepreneurs, wellness coaches, and small business owners who want images that feel like them—authentic, approachable, and aligned with their brand. Whether we’re shooting in my cozy Oceanside studio or on location in Carlsbad or Encinitas, the goal is always the same: to create a library of brand images that help you show up confidently and connect with your people.

Something new at Vallentyne Photography!
If you follow me here for family, maternity, newborn, or senior portraits, you may not know that I also photograph professional headshots and personal branding.
And now that I have my Carlsbad Village studio, I’ve created a whole new experience specifically for it: Modern Headshots.
These are for business owners and professionals who want photographs that feel polished and professional, but still approachable and like you.
Modern Headshots include professional hair and makeup, multiple wardrobe looks and backgrounds, plenty of guidance with posing and expression, and 2 professionally retouched images.
My first Modern Headshots Day is October 15 at the studio.
I’ve also created a separate page here on Instagram just for my headshot and branding work: @vallentynebranding
So if you’re the face of your business, come follow me over there! I’ll be sharing lots more headshot and personal branding inspiration.
And if your own headshot could use an update, send me a message and I’ll send you the October 15 details.

Every newborn photo is really a love story. Not just about the baby, but about the people whose hearts changed forever the moment they arrived.

The photos are really for later. That`s what so many families tell me. Not for social media. Not for next week. For the future version of themselves who wants to remember everyone exactly like this.

When the kids decide Mom is going in the ocean… 😂
This is the kind of moment I love during a family session—the completely unplanned ones that end up becoming part of the story.
Beautiful portraits are important, but so are the laughs, the chaos, and the moments you couldn`t have planned if you tried. 🤍
