Darlene Sochin is a Portland-based Reiki healer who needed new images that show off her sparkling personality and easygoing nature. We had a great time roaming around the Alberta Arts District, getting fun portraits for her professional brand. Here’s how it came together.
People who seek out a Reiki healer are looking for someone they can trust and feel at ease with, so her photos needed to feel warm and genuine. Darlene wanted images that show who she is.SHe also needed images to use for marketing herself through social media.
We spent a few hours wandering the Alberta Arts District, using its brightly colored buildings, murals and graffiti as our backdrop. I photographed Darlene laughing and walking, in close portraits and full-body shots, and through lots of outfit changes, keeping things relaxed and playful.
Darlene received a curated gallery of 250 edited images. They were sized for online use, with print-sized files available when she needed them.
Darlene uses her branding session photos for all her marketing needs and anywhere she needs to show her face, like her LinkedIn profile.
If your work is built on trust and connection, your photos should feel the same way. A session for a Reiki healer, wellness practitioner or coach can include portraits for your website and booking page, lifestyle images that show your personality, and photos for social media. I’ll plan it around your brand and your clients.
I’m based in SW Portland and love shooting around the city’s neighborhoods, from the Alberta Arts District to parks and downtown. Tell me where you feel most like yourself, and we’ll plan it together.
