When people travel to Phoenix, they usually think about golf, hiking, great restaurants, spring training, and sunshine.
But recently, a client reminded me of something else worth doing while you're here:
Update your personal brand.
Theresa Rose was visiting Phoenix while preparing for a major overhaul of her website. She reached out looking for lifestyle and branding images that would better reflect who she is and the work she does.
We spent time creating a collection of images designed specifically for her website, marketing, and professional presence. Thanks to the team at Galvanize Phoenix for allowing us to use their beautiful coworking space as part of the session.
A few weeks later, Theresa sent me a note that absolutely made my day:
"Thank you so much for the lovely photography! The timing of the edited photos was perfect since I was right in the middle of overhauling my website. Check it out! You'll notice that I used all of them.
I'm so happy we worked together, and your images brought my site to the level I envisioned. Thanks again. I can't wait to share it with the world."
And she wasn't kidding.
Every image found a home on her newly redesigned website.
Even better, she later shared this review:
"Matt is a genius behind the camera. I booked a lifestyle session with him to refresh my website photos and he captured my spirit beautifully. I used every single one of the photos I purchased and plan on reusing them whenever possible! It was a wise investment to partner with an artist like him. I'll be working with him whenever I return to the Phoenix area for brand photography."
As a photographer, there's no better compliment than knowing the images didn't just sit on a hard drive—they became part of someone's business.
You can see Theresa's beautiful new website at TheresaRose.com. Theresa is a keynote speaker, strategic advisor, and author who helps leaders and organizations find clarity, make confident decisions, and move their vision forward. It was a privilege to be part of her website refresh, and I'm thrilled to see the images being used throughout her new site.
I'd also like to thank the team at Galvanize Phoenix for providing such a fantastic location for our session. Their space offered the perfect backdrop for creating professional, authentic branding images.
If you're traveling to Phoenix for a conference, speaking engagement, business meetings, or simply passing through, consider setting aside a few hours to invest in your brand while you're here.
Your website, LinkedIn profile, social media, and marketing materials will thank you long after your trip is over.
