austin brand photography

for people whose success has outgrown their image.

Strategic, magazine-ready brand photography that builds trust, commands respect, and converts followers into paying clients.

Build your brand
the right way.

“We spend thousands on certifications, coaching, and leadership development and then show up on LinkedIn with a photo that does not reflect any of it. First impressions are not fair. They are also not going away. Your profile is working for you or against you right now. Make sure it is doing the right job”.

Brand photography is strategic visual content designed to tell your business story, build trust with your ideal clients, and position you as an authority in your industry. Unlike traditional headshots or portraits, brand photography creates a complete content library — 20–30 professional images showing you in your element, your workspace, your process, and your personality.

Brand photography in Austin goes beyond “pretty photos.” It’s a business investment that supports your marketing across every channel: your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, email campaigns, speaker submissions, media kits, sales proposals, pretty much everywhere you need to show up with confidence and credibility.

I work with those who understand that their visual presence directly impacts their revenue, because the worth of your business is directly related to the strength of your brand.

how it works 

The Brand Photography process

Step 01
Define

Brand strategy call 

Before we even talk about cameras, we talk about your business. Your Q2 and Q3 goals. Your ideal client. Your upcoming campaigns. Where you need content most urgently. This is a strategy session, every image we create has a purpose.

Step 02 
design

custom shot list

Based on the strategy call, I build a detailed shot list tailored to YOUR marketing needs, not a generic template. Specific image types (hero, in-action, detail, lifestyle), locations, outfit recommendations, and how each image will be used. check out a custom shot list here 

Step 03
Direct

the brand session

Depending on your package sessions run 1 1/2–4 hours in multiple Austin locations, with multiple outfits. I direct everything, pose, expression, movement so you never have to guess what to do. Most clients tell me it’s way less awkward than they expected.

Step 04
deliver

professional editing & delivery

Within 2 weeks, your complete gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images ready for immediate use. Color, lighting, and light retouching. Online gallery with easy download and sharing.

Step 05
Do it again

ongoing content partnership

Many of my Austin clients return quarterly for seasonal updates, campaign-specific shoots, or new offer launches. I offer Quarterly Content Retainers for entrepreneurs who want an ongoing content system that evolves with their business.

My husband and I booked Eric to capture the photos for my graduation party, and I am so happy that we did! The first green flag was my graduation photo shoot before my party. I thought it would be a great opportunity to include my young nieces. The day of the shoot he was at my campus on time and ready to work. I so appreciated that he began the shoot with all of us, making sure to include the girls from the very beginning. Green flag number two. The pictures were ready so fast and the quality was so amazing! The day of my party was the same he knew where to be and what to capture. Eric your professionalism is unmatched. My entire family loved the photos. During the night there so many more green flags I can list here, but I’m not sure there is enough space. lol If anyone needs an awesome photographer, please consider choosing Eric Coleman Photography, cause I know I will!!

I recommend Eric Coleman Photography. I am in the process of rebranding myself after 30 years of service with the Federal Government. Eric did an excellent job with my professional head shots and college graduation photos. I called Eric and he agreed to a same day session. I called him at 11:00am, we concluded the photo session at 12:30pm. Thank you Eric

Eric Coleman photography was able to capture one of the most important and meaningful and precious times in my families life. My daughter's engagement party was amazing and the memories will last forever. We look back at the photos and smile at the joy and fun that was had during the night. Eric was so professional and did what he came to do. Fyi, he did it well. I will always recommend him to anyone needing to capture their precious moments.

I have been working with Eric remotely for about 8 years. He has designed a website for my nonprofit. It was bright, interesting, artistic, well-planned, and well-executed. He did an excellent job! Recently, he helped me with a public information campaign by doubling his trip to visit his family, with my need to have 11 portraits taken. These portraits are to become the face of our push for affordable housing in Alameda County. Eric is perceptive and easy to work with. He has always found a way to get me the work I need, in the way we envisioned. Last weekend, Eric was recovering from a bad cold while our website credentials needed to be updated. It was the website he created all those years ago. Eric delivered again! Eric's work is special because he is special. He doesn't just take pictures... he makes impressions.

Thank you so much for the amazing headshots—I truly can’t thank you enough! Your attention to detail, precision, and professionalism really stood out, and you delivered far more than I expected. I’m looking forward to working together again in the near future.

Eric did an amazing job as the photographer for our gala. He captured a mix of both beautiful candid and posed photos of our attendees. He was easy to work with, came early to ensure he was ready to begin at the scheduled time and was extremely professional. We’re looking forward to having Eric as our photographer again this year!
