PERSONALITY BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
Pictures that work for you
Inviting connection and igniting your business
What if you had a library of photos featuring you at your best that made people stop scrolling?
What if, when you scheduled your social media, you had a fresh, on-brand image for every post?
What if your photographer once worked with executives of companies like Audi and Lands' End, and can create visuals that will make your audience lean in to hear more?
People follow and buy from those they like and trust.
Think about it: I bet you’d rather hire someone you can already imagine having a working relationship with—someone who seems to be speaking directly to you and understands exactly what you need—over a random company with a generic-looking website or a social media feed that relies on boring stock photography.
Photography for your personality brand
makes your first impression count and tells your future clients they are in the right place!
I am Terri Burke, a photographer based in Lewisville, NC, and I want to help you love your pictures so you step confidently into the spotlight to connect with the people you are here to serve. It really can be easy with the right partner!
“What I valued most about my experience was that Terri was flexible and open to ideas!”

YOU are the secret sauce in your business.
Your pictures set the stage long before anyone reads your words!
You're not just another business. Your personal journey plays a huge role in propelling your work.
Whether a life change sparked a passion, or you changed careers to become a mom and reinvent yourself, your story is central to your work and how you sell it.
Your followers need to know enough about that story to be able to retell it, and sense a bit of what you're like when you're not on the job.
When they know what you're about and can feel your passion and concern coming from each gorgeous post, they'll keep coming back and want to be a part of what you're building.
You've got a business to run, though. Let me help you create the images you need in a single day.
You don't need another task, you need a partner in photography, a dedicated member of your team, who understands you and how to make images that will get your ideal follower to stop scrolling.
Together, we'll map out your story and tell it visually. We will show who you are and what's important to you in a series of insightful images that reveal your personality .
You can finally ditch the grab-bag of old headshots and selfies and show who you really are, post by post, in a way that brings people back to you for whatever you're serving up next.

Why am I the right person to help you?
I am not another photographer who stumbled into working with business owners. I spent 18 years as an advertising strategist helping executives at top-tier brands like Audi, Lands' End, and BP/Amoco shape their messages and connect with their desired consumers.
I also earned a master's degree in Radio, TV, and Film which allowed me to dive deeply into the power of storytelling in different channels and the importance of attracting an audience.
I began my adventure into entrepreneurship more than ten years ago and I’m quick to admit that it hasn’t been easy and that I’ve had a lot to learn.
That unique background means I can relate to the challenges you face and understand quickly who you're trying to reach. I also have both the experience and the tools to help you cut through the clutter and tell your story authentically.
I started my photography business not long after I left advertising so I could have more time for the work of being a mom. If being a parent is part of your brand, I know what you're up against. Running a small business myself, I understand how busy you are and how isolated you can become - and how relieving it is to bring on a qualified team member who "gets it."
Living the challenges of being a mom while running a brand, I relate to how deeply your kids can be a part of your story, even your brand story. While I work with all kinds of business owners near to Winston-Salem, NC and far, I have a flair for helping entrepreneurs who are also moms incorporate their family into their visual story with the right tone.
Interested? Let’s talk about the next steps…
Step #1 - We connect with each other.
You schedule a chat (click HERE to set that up!).
We’ll make sure my services match your needs. I’ll answer any questions and we can discuss the best option for your exact situation. No hard sells, this is simply fastest and friendliest with a real-time conversation.
Before we part, we’ll discuss how you’d like to proceed and any next steps.
Step #2 - We meet in person to plan your session.
This is where I get to jump on your team and get things moving! After you select the services you want to book, I’ll send you my discovery questionnaire to help you share what I need to know.
I’ll learn your story in detail and strategize how we can connect people to your ‘why’ with beautiful visuals. We’ll discuss where people will see your images, and what they need in that moment. We’ll also plan a flow for your session so we can create everything efficiently.
Step #3 - You enjoy your session.
Because we will have planned this carefully, you can relax into the session and feel secure knowing you’re getting precisely what you and your brand need.
Transitions will be smooth, and you won’t believe what you got done in a single morning!
Step #4 - You put your images to work.
We’ll review your images together within a day or two, and once you make your selections you’ll receive your digital files within two weeks.
Your digital assets will come clearly labeled and ready to go. Doesn’t that sound easy? What will you do with the time you’ll save.
Have questions? Let me see if I can guess
Yes, even though I once worked with big companies I’m not going to expect you to be one. You might squeeze work around school hours and soccer practice, and that’s great. Personal brand photography is still for you. Your experiences influence your message and mission, and we focus on communicating those.
Yes, I deliver on time. You’ve got a business to run, no time or money to waste. We make an agreement, I fulfill my end, and you walk away happy. I have a Joy Guarantee - if you don’t love your images we will work together to find the right solution.
Yes, I can pre-crop your images to size for social media. Like I said - you have no time to wast! You’ll let me know in advance where they’ll be going and I’ll deliver ready-to-post digital assets.
Yes, if you love working with me, I offer a partnership subscription that puts me on your team on an ongoing basis. You can think of me as your Chief Photography Officer! We’ll set a regular schedule to create a fresh batch of images (quarterly often works best). You’ll get priority access to my schedule and I’ll be available to help with your photography-related issues throughout the year. As an added bonus, you can opt for a budget-friendly monthly payment plan or save 10% by paying for a year upfront.
