Dr. Maureen Mcintosh-Alberts is an executive personal coach. From her office, she manages a team that helps leaders attain higher levels for their organizations. Her home is her office, library, and meeting space for group work. At this time, I came to photograph her in the spaces where she does her work. For branding shoots, it is important to illustrate where people get inspiration, and do their best work.

Inside her home, Dr. Maureen has created a space for deep thinking and analysis. With lots of colors, and textures, it also gives a creative feeling. This is an area where clients are looking to find novel answers, so this environment fosters that. With a couple of flashes, I was able to light her and her rooms nicely.

In her library, she had an incredible collection of books. Moreover, she had an impressive collection of large printed photographs that her husband created. Without a doubt, this was my favorite are for photos. She is an academic, and these books contributed to where she and her business is today. It was a perfect setting to illustrate her growing brand!

Earlier this month, business coach Laurie Richards contacted me to do a 2018 Brand Session at The Winery at Bull Run. Previously, Laurie came to the studio for updated headshots. Afterwards, she decided that one of the images would be on the cover of her latest book! In short, I was very happy that she enjoyed the photos from her last session.

During this afternoon, we met at the winery to start making some photos around their property. In this case, the setting was beautiful for portraits. The open fields next to the Civil War era buildings made for non-distracting backgrounds that did add some interest for the portraits.

Since it was close to the winery, we made our way to the park at the Manassas Battlefield. In like fashion, the historic open fields were a beautiful backdrop for branding photos. With her blue top, it complimented all the green in the surrounding frame.
