Brand photos can be tough! Especially when you’re an educator whose whole message is about authenticity and work-life balance for photographers. You can’t just slap on an outfit and strike a pose. It’s all about the planning, intention, and artful direction of capturing the heart of brands. For Sabrina Gebhardt, we knew her photos had to tell her whole story: the expert teacher AND the dedicated mom who’s juggling dogs, kids, and a business.

We broke her shoot into two awesome locations to capture both sides of her brand.

Part 1: Real Life and Raw Emotion (The Home Session)

We kicked things off at her house. Why? Because you can’t teach unposed photography and then have stiff, staged brand photos! We wanted that real-life, cozy vibe that immediately makes other family photographer moms say, “Yes, she gets me!”

This session was all about showing her reality. We incorporated her actual routine, coffee in hand, a quick snuggle with the dogs, and the beautiful, controlled chaos of her life. This part of the shoot hammered home her commitment to work-life balance: she’s present with her family, but she’s also a powerful CEO. These photos are warm, inviting, and captures the authenticity of her brand.

Part 2: Elevated Expertise (The Studio Session)

Once we had the cozy, real-life stuff, it was time to level up and show her authority as a leader in family photography education. We headed to the Lumen Room Fort Worth studio for a totally different feel.

The studio offered clean light and minimal distractions, allowing us to focus purely on her confidence and expertise. Think elegant headshots, sophisticated, and refined portraits that scream, “I know my stuff!” This session proves that you can be a nurturing, balanced mom and a professional rockstar. It’s the visual representation of her entire teaching philosophy: you can be real, and you can be elevated.

The Final Takeaway

These photos aren’t just pretty; they are a strategic roadmap for her ideal client. They show the juggling, supportive mom and the powerful, knowledgeable educator.
