You’re seeing just one outfit from a full branding experience I created with Keyi.
She already knew the colors she loves, so we started there and built a palette around those tones.
From there, we went to Rent the Runway and pulled pieces that fit her style and my studio aesthetic.
Once the wardrobe was locked, we scheduled dates, booked a hair and makeup artist, and reserved a larger studio in the city so she had space to move and play with different looks.
We shot over two days between a studio at the U‑Haul Lofts in Chicago and my studio in Arlington Heights, with behind‑the‑scenes photographers documenting the whole production.
We also hit a vintage shop for jewelry so we could mix and match accessories and stretch each outfit into multiple distinct looks.
What you’re seeing here is the result of that full process: intentional color, styling, locations, and lighting all working together to tell her story.
This is the same process I use for my full branding sessions for creatives, models, and photographers: collaborative mood and color planning, curated wardrobe from Rent the Runway, pro hair and makeup, and multiple locations that fit who you are.
It’s never just me posing you in front of a backdrop. It’s a collaboration where we build images that actually feel like you.
If you’re ready for that level of planning and production, I offer it as my top branding package.
