DC Brand Photographer

Breathing life and motion into visuals

As a DC Brand Photographer, lifetime athlete, and devoted creative, I know the ins and outs of getting down and dirty with the intricacies that come with sports and active lifestyle brand photography. We will work together on a vision all your own and bring it to life to share across all mediums your brand embraces.

for bold, purpose-fueled brands

What You Need:

Powerful Imagery: Images that speak with the same powerhouse messages you do 

Photos That Speak Volumes: Photos that represent how impactful your products or services REALLY are.

Unique Photos With a Unique POV: Visuals that make you stand out above others in your industry

Your brand is badass… And your images should be, too!

Isn't it time...

Your imagery captured the unmatched brilliance behind your brand?

Curious if we would be a good fit?

We are meant to be (like the 1996 Chicago Bulls lineup) if…

  • You’re a risk taker, spontaneous go-getter, or impact maker looking for images that can keep up with you and your active lifestyle.
  • You’re not afraid to work up a sweat or get dirty outside because we keep it real!
  • You love trying new things or taking a spin on the bold brand bus (say that 3x fast) to create unique images all your own!

Curious if we would be a good fit?

You may want to take a knee or warm the bench if…

  • You are looking for bland, beige, and boring
  • You’re not interested in incorporating movement and personality in your pics
  • You’re solely focused on just getting images that look good side-by-side on an Insta grid
  • You think getting “pretty pictures” is more important than getting true-to-life photos that make your audience say, “Hell yeah!”

What Makes A Session with This 90’s Music Lovin’, Road  Running, DC Brand Photographer… 

Different From the Rest?

Your session will have variety.

You can use these photos across different mediums without the risk of images seeming repetitive or exhausted.

01.

I offer B-Roll as part of your experience.

Why? So you are never without the branded content your business needs to succeed. Websites and social media prioritize video content, and I don’t want you to fall behind the almighty algorithm. *(B-Roll not included in micro-sessions).

02.

You’ll come into the session with a sense of confidence and excitement.

No “But I’m not very photogenic” vibes will enter THIS chat. I promise you’ll come in feeling like you’re on top of the world, and your photos will express that too!

03.

I bring elegance and femininity to the same table as grit, exploration, strength, and power.

Think of it as a one-of-a-kind cocktail you share with the girls while out on the town on a spontaneous Friday night- one that combines everything you love and need to express yourself unapologetically.

My Process

Discovery Call

Let’s hop on the phone for a quick chat. I invite you into my “virtual” office of bright natural light, greenery, and plush leather chairs to talk about dreams, visions, and needs. We then decide if we are a GO and start maing magic together!

Initial Planning Survey

You get a full comprehensive survey that you can complete on your own time. I always invite clients to grab their favorite snack, beverage, and/or scented candle and prop themselves in a comfy space. This where you get to tell me err-thing! Your vision for the shoot. I also want to know your favorite colors, hobbies, ideal day itinerary, dream office design, the worst pizza you’ve ever had, and a memory from when you were 12 that still makes you laugh (or cry, we’ve all got em). 

The survey may take 30-45 minutes to complete (more if you’re feeling saucy and want to write me a book all about you, which I LOVE AND ENCOURAGE).

Logistics

To knock out all the boring logistics first and foremost so we can focus on the fun, you’ll receive your proposal, payment details, payment plan, and contracts. Once these are signed and your down payment is received, we hit the gas and get moving!

Visual Planning

If you’re on Pinterest, we will collaborate on a board that you will fill with all things related to your brand and ideal branding session. I will also check in on it occasionally and see if we have any questions, roadblocks, or concerns. This is the place to play and show me what ideas are emerging as you put your thinking cap on. 

Planning Calls and Emails

Leading up to your session, we will communicate via emails back and forth with one comprehensive planning call that outlines EVERYTHING we’ve discussed and what to expect on shoot day, including a personalized shot-list. You will feel confident, excited, and AMPED about your photoshoot come the day of your session.

What they're saying:

“Excellent experience with Maxann! She is truly a blessing and so fun to work with. Will definitely book another shoot with her!! ”

— Maclay N.| Personal Brand

“She is amazing! I’m super uncomfortable in front of a camera but she made the entire experience fun for me. I’m a personal trainer/group fitness instructor and needed photos to market my business. I’m so pleased with how my photos turned out especially because we were in a place with difficult lighting and I know that can be tricky for a photographer! But she gave me exactly what I was hoping for and more!! ”

— Alyssa M. | Personal Trainer

“I had a great experience working with Maxann for my professional headshots. She was quick and professional. I felt comfortable suggesting settings, and she gave gentle direction—overall it was very collaborative! I used these photos for work, and they really helped polish my public image.”
