You already KNOW I get ridiculously excited about branding sessions, and this one was no exception! I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Tiffany Buckwalter, owner of 139 Beauty Co.. I’m obsessed with how this beautician branding session turned out! Tiffany offers mobile hair and makeup for brides, along with full salon services. She is truly one of the most talented (and sweetest) people I’ve ever worked with!
This beautician branding session was all about capturing the heart of her business—helping clients feel like the best versions of themselves. And let me tell you, we 100% made that happen!
Tiffany is next-level talented, and one of the things that makes her stand out is that she’s amazing at both hair and makeup. Not many beauty pros offer both services at such a high level, and that’s a huge advantage for her brides. She’s all about creating naturally lit-from-within beauty looks that enhance each client’s features while still making them feel like themselves—which, let’s be real, is exactly what every bride wants!
But what I love most about Tiffany’s approach is her focus on sustainable beauty. She doesn’t just create a flawless look for one day—she helps her clients curate products and techniques that work for them long-term. She also encourages people to embrace the realities of life (because perfection is overrated), and honestly, that philosophy is just another reason why she’s SO amazing at what she does!
When Tiffany reached out for her beautician branding session, she knew exactly what she wanted—images that felt warm, elegant, and inviting while still showcasing her expertise. She wanted photos that would work for emails, her website, social media, and marketing materials, so we made sure to get a mix of shots.
We captured her working her magic behind the chair, interacting with clients, and even some dreamy detail shots of her salon. The goal? To create a set of images that tell the full story of her brand—and I’d say mission accomplished!
Oh, and can we talk about how STUNNING she looked?! Lionel Adriano did her makeup for the session, and it was absolutely perfect!
After our session, Tiffany sent me the sweetest review:
“Kelsey is an absolute gem of a branding photographer! Her expertise in posing is remarkable—she knows exactly how to position you to bring out your best features, making every shot feel natural and effortless. What truly sets Kelsey apart is her ability to capture genuine emotion. Her warm and engaging personality puts you at ease, allowing her to draw out authentic expressions that make the photos truly stand out. Kelsey’s efficiency behind the camera is also impressive. She works quickly and smoothly, yet the results are nothing short of stunning. I was thrilled with the number of high-quality, usable photos she provided—each one better than the last. If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers exceptional results with a personal touch, Kelsey is the one to call!“
I mean…my heart! THIS is why I do what I do. It’s not just about taking pretty pictures—it’s about capturing images that help elevate your brand and attract your dream clients!
If you’re a beautician or small business owner, your branding photos should do more than just look good on your website. They should actually work for you—helping you connect with the right clients and grow your business. Whether you’re a one-person show or have an entire team, the right images make all the difference!
