I recently signed up for Jordan Duvall’s Soul Brand Certified 12-week branding photography certification. She’s amazing! I’m always looking to take my branding photography to the next level, and she’s helping me do this. Hands down, this is the best investment I could make for my business.

We recently discussed the importance of providing a wide range of images during a client’s branding session.
