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 carefully considered before the camera ever comes out, so by the time we begin photographing, everything simply flows.
Today, based in Alexandria, Virginia, I specialize in brand and headshot photography, working with businesses and professionals to create powerful photographs that are purposely designed to help you and your business grow.
that's where i come in.
My Approach
Scroll-stopping brand photography rarely comes from a one-size-fits-all approach. That's exactly why I love what I do!
I'll ask a lot of questions (and I really mean a LOT), and do a lot of research, because I want to understand not only what you do, but who you want to reach, and how your photographs can best support your business.
Your images shouldn't simply fill spaces on your website or social media feed. They should tell your story, attract the right people, and become one of your business's hardest-working assets.
My Style
I've always been someone who notices the little things.
I'm the person who replaced every door and piece of hardware in my home to get just the right look. Thankfully, I have a very patient husband!
I'll happily spend far too long searching for the perfect miniature containers for the brandy butter and brandy cream I make for my friends at my annual Mince Pie party. Yes, I take my Mince Pies very seriously!
I'll move something an inch to the left because I simply know that's where it belongs.
It's also why I photograph the way I do.
My Process
My clients are busy running businesses, serving their clients and wearing more hats than they care to remember. They don't need another thing to figure out.
That's why every branding and headshot session is designed to feel calm, collaborative and uncomplicated. You'll never be expected to know exactly what images you need, what to wear or how it all comes together. That's my job!
