Joyful Branding Session with Claudia Klann

I recently had the honor of photographing the amazing Claudia Klann! We had such an incredible time at this branding session. Claudia and her husband, Steve, were just gems and an absolute joy to be around. The whole branding session was centered around the concept of “Abundant Joy”. And that’s exactly what we captured!

About Claudia

Claudia is an artist, life coach, podcaster and author. Her new book “Joy in living color” will be launching very soon! The cover art was painted by Claudia and we did some really beautiful branding photos with the original piece of art. Her walls were adorned with gorgeous paintings that she’s done over the years. My favorite one was the majestic lion, such a stunning piece of art!

The Branding Shoot

We started the branding session at Claudia’s home in her art studio and her office where she does live coaching calls and podcasting. We did a variety of headshots and lifestyle portraits. We then did some adorable portraits of her and Steve with the beautiful mountains behind them. 

The second half of the branding photos we did in downtown Redding. We started at the beginning of Market Street by From the Hearth and walked all the way down to the end where we captured some final portraits with the Cascade Theatre marquee in the background. Along the way we stopped at the brand new Apricot Lane Boutique who so graciously let us use their dressing room for an outfit change. On the way out I snagged a shot of Claudia checking her outfit in their full length mirror that I just absolutely love! 

And now I’ll stop rambling so you can check out all the gorgeous branding shots we captured! If you’re a business owner, let this be your sign that you need to book your very own branding session!

This blue tile wall is so cool! And you’ll never guess where this wall is… Downtown Redding, of course, but it’s literally the wall right in at the front entrance to the men’s restroom… HAHA! You’d never know!!!

DOWNTOWN REDDING SENIOR PORTRAITS

We had so much fun capturing Justin’s High School Senior Portraits! Justin is definitely a rockstar! He was a complete natural in front of the camera, which made my job such a breeze. We started his session in the newly renovated downtown area of Redding, California.
