Want to give your brand a little more personality, and a lot more pink? 💗

If you need fresh content and want a quick way to update your brand photos, our discounted backdrop sessions are perfect.

You’ll get a variety of new brand photos in under an hour, without the time commitment of a full branding session.

Right now, we’re shooting on our signature pink backdrop, with select availability left in August and September.

The discounted backdrop special will continue year-round, but we’ll switch to a new color each quarter, so your chance to go pink won’t last long!

Book your session through the link in our bio!

A branding shoot should give you more. It should sell your experience or the connection you have to your clients. And it should work as it's own marketing tool.

For .are.maternal, we captured branding photography and iPhone B-roll (that we came into with a full plan, shot list, and prep guide for our clients), giving them an evergreen library of photo and video content to use across their reels, website, and marketing.

You can add iPhone B-roll to any Brand Gloss photoshoot so you leave with more content, and more ways to show up online.

Send us a DM to start planning your shoot! We are currently booking into October & November.

We’re looking for a small business owner who wants to get creative with us! 📸

We’re offering a discounted branding shoot while our social media team completes an in-studio training focused on capturing strategic iPhone B-roll during a photoshoot.

You’ll work directly with Chelsea, our founder and photographer, the Brand Gloss social media team, and SADIE | East Coast Wedding & Event Content Creator to create:
✨ A mixture of updated headshots
✨ A fun, creative concept for your business
✨ Branding photos to use throughout your marketing
✨ iPhone B-roll for Reels and social media content

Your concept can highlight you, your services or products, and can even involve an additional model. If you don’t have a full vision yet, that’s completely fine—we’ll help you develop the concept and plan what to capture.

Because this shoot is part of a live team training, we’re looking for someone who is very comfortable and confident in front of the camera, open to direction, and comfortable with our team observing and learning throughout the session.

The session will take place at our Richmond studio on Wednesday, August 26, from 11:15 AM–12:45 PM.
The discounted investment is $295, normally $750.

Interested? Send us a DM with a little information about your business and any inspiration photos or ideas you have.

We’d love to create something fun!

Monica Oglesby | Virginia Beach Bridal Makeup Artist didn’t need to become something new. She needed a brand that better represented what was already there.

The new identity feels coastal, refined, and quietly confident. Nothing loud or overly trendy, just an elevated brand designed to feel natural to her and familiar to her brides.

Because her artistry has never been about changing the person in her chair. It’s about embracing her beauty and enhancing what already makes her feel like herself.

We are so honored to be able to bring that vision to life for Monica.

Working with .are.maternal was probably one of our favorite full circle projects to date!

Not just because the photos and brand design turned out beautifully (although they did 😉), but because every piece came together to create an entire brand identity experience that felt so authentic to the mission and values behind Maternal.

And that's the advantage of having an entire creative team behind your brand. When you work with us, we provide different perspectives, thoughtful collaboration, and a strategy that goes way beyond one single photoshoot. We connect the dots for you, and with you.

If you're looking for a creative team that's just as invested in your business as you are, make sure to inquire on www.brand-gloss.com! Or DM us with any questions, we'd be happy to send you our investment guide.

Today's success wasn't luck. And it is still a work in progress.

I built it one photoshoot, one client, one late night, and one scary decision at a time. Even when it felt crazy uncomfortable.

But here's what makes it worth it: helping incredible women build businesses they're proud of.

And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that there's never going to be a perfect time to start. Or a sign of luck from the universe.

My advice? Take the first step, even if it's a small one. Just start. Because that's the difference between "one day" and "day one."

If you're a hard-working woman building something of your own, I'd love to cheer you on.
