A NOTE FROM PAULA

Branding portrait of a Milwaukee Public Speaker

“I discovered Jennifer Brindley Portrait through a colleague of mine. She came highly recommended! My last photo session was ten years ago and I needed to update my portfolio. I’m a professional speaker, executive coach and retreat leader. I help high-performing professionals enjoy success without stress and have the time to enjoy the incredible life they’ve worked to build. I wanted images that reflected my brand. Jennifer delivered!

Jennifer did so much more than take great photos. She took the time to ask questions in preparation of our shoot to understand the work I do, the clients I help and why my work was important to me. She dove into my branding, and she got to know me as a person. It’s the extra steps she took that allowed her to capture exactly what I was striving for, images that were not just professional head shots but vibrant photographs that reflected the essence of my work and who I am.

The day of the photoshoot was like spending time with a best friend. She made me feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and immediately put me at ease – effortlessly guiding me in poses that were not “posed” but a natural expression of what I wanted to convey: professional, empowered, timeless, and fun, with a touch of glamour. She captured it all!

If you are looking for an amazing photo shoot experience which produces fabulous images that capture the essence of your work and who you are as an individual, you definitely want to book a session with Jennifer. You’ll get stunning results and a marvelous experience!”

🎨 The Style Strategy: Your Visual Presence, Reinvented

Your expertise speaks volumes—but does your wardrobe reflect the confidence, professionalism, and impact you’ve worked so hard to build?

As a personal brand photographer, the number one struggle I saw from clients was always the same: Wardrobe.

So many of my clients struggled to find the right outfits that fit, felt great and represented them the way they wanted to be seen professionally. I realized that in order to truly help my clients create a suite of images that would elevate their brand and business, it had to start with the clothes. And so, The Style Strategy was born.

The Style Strategy is designed for professionals who excel in their field but feel unsure about their personal style, this process bridges the gap between how you feel and how you show up. And it’s automatically included in every single branding session I offer.

Here’s what you get:

Wardrobe Analysis: We’ll evaluate the outfits you currently wear (or would instinctively choose) and identify opportunities to align them with your brand goals while enhancing your natural shape and presence.
Maximizing What You Own: I’ll work to incorporate as much of your existing wardrobe as possible, making the process practical and cost-conscious.
Custom Wardrobe Design: Based on your goals, audience, and personal aesthetic, I’ll create curated looks for your session—including clothing, accessories, and recommendations for new pieces (complete with links).
Professional Polish: Together, we’ll finalize your new wardrobe looks so you feel confident, elevated, and 100% prepared for shoot day—and every professional appearance that follows.

💡 Many clients tell me this has been the most unexpected transformation of the entire process. What started as “just a photo shoot” becomes a full-scale style reset that leaves them walking into meetings, showings, or speaking engagements knowing they look—and feel—more confident than ever.

You’re the brand. I’m here to help you own it.

I’m Jennifer Brindley, an internationally accredited Master Portrait Photographer with over 20 years of experience in visual storytelling, and a lifelong believer in the power of a great image.

Before I was behind the camera full-time, I spent years in hospitality, sales, and property management. I’ve been where you are: building something from the ground up, wearing all the hats, doing the work. That’s why I bring more than photography to your branding session. I bring business acumen, strategy, and the kind of support that only comes from one entrepreneur to another.

Your session is fully personalized to you and your brand, including:

✨ A Brand Deep-Dive to align your session with your goals and audience
✨ A tailored Style Strategy and personalized shoot design to reflect your unique brand identity
✨ Expert posing and direction from start to finish for confident, on-brand portraits

This is a collaborative experience designed to give you the kind of images that work across your website, social media, press features, speaking engagements, and beyond.

And yes, I’m also your biggest hype woman behind the lens. But here, that energy is grounded in true professional respect. My job is to make sure your audience sees what I see: a bold, capable, powerful leader with a story worth telling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: Do you provide the wardrobe for Personal Branding?

A: Personal branding is deeply individual—your wardrobe should reflect your industry, personality, and professional identity. That’s why I’ve created a Signature Style Strategy to guide you every step of the way.

We’ll analyze your current wardrobe, pinpoint opportunities to elevate your style, and curate camera-ready looks that align beautifully with your brand goals and audience. I’ll help you pull pieces you already own, recommend key additions (with shopping links), and finalize every detail—including accessories—so you feel confident and polished on shoot day.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry. From your Brand Deep-Dive to our styling process, I make it easy to translate your vision into a wardrobe that works for your brand and helps you look as confident as you feel.


Q: Why do I need professional hair & makeup?

A: Even if you prefer minimalist beauty in your daily routine, professional hair and makeup are essential for photography. The camera can flatten features, wash out skin tones, and create unflattering shine. Our expert hair & makeup artist ensures you look polished, fresh, and camera-ready—without altering your natural style.

This service isn’t about changing your look—it’s about enhancing your best features. Your eyes will be brighter, your complexion more even, and your hair perfectly styled to complement your professional presence.


Q: Is professional styling guidance really that important?

A: Absolutely. Styling is about more than just great clothing—it’s about ensuring your wardrobe works harmoniously with your body type, coloring, and professional brand.

With nearly 20 years of experience in professional portraiture, I know exactly:
✅ What photographs well and what doesn’t
✅ How to create impactful, cohesive imagery
✅ What colors and cuts will flatter your features and elevate your personal brand

From wardrobe selection to final image curation, every detail is intentionally designed to showcase your strength, professionalism, and unique identity.
