A NOTE FROM PAULA

Personal Branding and Headshots in Milwaukee WI for public speakers and consultants

“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. She immediately put me at ease, effortlessly guided 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!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: Do you provide the wardrobe for Personal Branding?

A: Personal branding is highly individual—your wardrobe should reflect your industry, personality, and professional identity. Whether you’re a corporate executive in high-end suiting, a creative professional in jeans and statement jewelry, or a realtor blending casual professionalism, your clothing plays a key role in telling your story.

Not sure what your professional style identity looks like? Don’t worry—I’ll guide you in selecting the best wardrobe choices for the camera, your body type, and your brand image. Plus, after booking, you’ll receive exclusive access to inspiration boards with visual cues to help refine your look.


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.
