Discover how brand photography brings authenticity, clarity, and connection to Jenn Landis' website and what you can apply to your own entrepreneurial brand.

For years, I’ve heard the phrase: “Follow your bliss and the money will follow.” And its cousin: “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

As a brand photographer and entrepreneur for nearly 14 years, let me tell you—these phrases sound beautiful, but they can also be incredibly misleading and even damaging.

Don’t get me wrong — I love what I do. I feel deeply connected to helping entrepreneurs, executives, and thought leaders show up authentically in their branding through powerful photography.
