Over Your Brand as Much as You Do?

Lisa Scontras
Once upon a time, I worked as an event planner in London, orchestrating large-scale events on behalf of a French conglomerate. It taught me that no matter how impeccable your taste, you won’t bring your vision to life unless you lavish attention on the details.
Coming from the event planning world, I discovered that the skills I'd spent years developing were exactly what my brand photography clients needed. Every location, timeline, wardrobe choice, prop, and composition is considered before the camera ever comes out, so by the time we begin photographing, everything simply flows.
that's where i come in.
My Approach
After years spent planning events where every detail mattered, I learned to think several steps ahead, solve problems before they happened, and keep people feeling calm, even when there was chaos behind the scenes!
That's exactly how I approach every brand session today. My clients never have to wonder what's next because I've already thought about it. When the planning is complete, all that's left for you to do is show up.
My Style
As a brand and headshot photographer based in Alexandria, Virginia, I look for the details that make an image work: the natural gesture, the placement of a carefully selected prop, the confidence that shows up when someone talks about what they do, the unscripted moment between the posed ones.
These are the details that build trust. They help your audience connect with you and understand what you offer, so they already feel like they know you before they've ever met you.
My Process
Every project begins long before the camera comes out.
The best brand photography doesn't happen by chance. Before your session, we'll work together to plan everything from locations, wardrobe and props, to the images your business actually needs. Every decision is made with a clear purpose, so your photographs don't just look beautiful, they work hard for your business long after the shoot is over!
