Why clients need more

Your clients need more than a headshot.

A good headshot is only the beginning. Your headshot introduces you. The rest of your photos help clients get to know you.

Meet Gina

Hello, I’m Gina Ayanna

You do the work that supports and uplifts others. My role is to help your brand communicate the depth of that work clearly, intentionally, and in a way that helps the right clients feel connected before they ever reach out.

I partner with therapists, psychotherapists, social workers, and wellness professionals to strengthen their visibility through strategic messaging, emotionally resonant branding, and intentional personal brand photography that builds trust and connection in an increasingly crowded digital world. Together, we create a presence that reflects your values, clarifies your message, and positions you as a trusted choice for the people you are meant to serve.

Planning your photos

What kind of photos should a therapist have on their website?

Not dozens. The right images, in the right places. Pick a page to see where the photos go.

The hero portrait

One confident, approachable image of you at the top of the page. It carries the first three seconds of trust.

“I don’t know how to pose.”

You don’t have to. Most of the session is conversation, movement and small prompts that get you out of your head. Here’s the kind of thing you might hear.

FAQ

Questions therapists often ask about brand photography

A headshot shows your face. Brand photography shows who you are and the way you work, so a client can feel what a session with you will be like.

Yes. The session is guided from start to finish, and most of it is conversation and movement. You are never asked to hold a pose you do not feel like yourself in.

Yes. We can intentionally create a strong profile image for Psychology Today as part of your session, along with additional images for your website, social media, directories, newsletters and other marketing.

Sessions are typically one to two hours, depending on the package you choose. Your final brand images are retouched and delivered within 10-15 business days after your final selections.

Yes. Photographing in your actual therapy space can help potential clients know what to expect when they arrive, and a studio gives us more freedom to build imagery around your personality and brand. During the planning process we will look at where your images will be used and choose locations that help tell that story.
