Why Branding Photos Are Crucial for Your Website (+ 4 Mistakes You Might Be Making)

If you’re a small business owner, here’s a truth bomb: outdated photos and a lackluster website might be the reason your dream clients aren’t clicking book now.

Let’s fix that.

We’re Suzy Holling and Bekah Read—your local Spokane photographer and website designer duo, and we’ve teamed up to help entrepreneurs like you create a magnetic, high-converting brand with scroll-stopping visuals and a site that sells.

But first, let’s talk about what’s really holding your brand back…

🤔 What Are Branding Photos (And Why Do You Need Them)?

Branding photos (also called branding pictures) are professional images that visually tell the story of your business. They go beyond the standard headshot to capture your personality, process, workspace, and vibe—so clients feel like they know you before they ever hop on a call.

In 2025, visual storytelling is everything. People want to connect with real humans behind the brand. Whether you’re a coach, creative, or local service provider, getting high-quality brand/ business photos done can make all the difference between “just browsing” and “booked solid.”

❌ Mistake 1: Your Photos Don’t Match Your Brand

We see it all the time: blurry selfies, random stock photos, or images that just don’t feel aligned. And unfortunately, inconsistent branding = confused customers.

✅ Fix it with: Custom branding photos in Spokane, WA that reflect your style, mission, and voice—so you can show up confidently and connect with ease.

❌ Mistake 2: You’re Not the Face of Your Brand

Hiding behind a logo or generic stock imagery creates distance between you and your audience.

✅ Fix it with: Personality-packed branding photography that puts you front and center. As your go-to Spokane photographer, Suzy will help you feel comfortable, confident, and totally aligned on camera (trust me, she has taken my photos multiple times).

❌ Mistake 3: Your Website Feels… Meh

If your site is slow, clunky, or visually outdated, you’re not just missing out on leads—you’re losing credibility.

✅ Fix it with: A strategic, SEO-optimized Website in a Day by Bekah that pairs beautifully with your new images and makes you look as legit as you actually are.

❌ Mistake 4: You’re Not Grabbing Attention Online

In today’s crowded digital space, “meh” doesn’t cut it.

✅ Fix it with: Bold design and eye-catching visuals that stand out on social media, Google, and beyond. (Because your brand deserves to pop—not blend.)

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart. 

I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality. Some words people use to describe me are: helpful, real, fun, creative, authentic, and kind.

Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego (I was a fan LONG before the movie-adaptation - anyone else?!). I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.

Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me. 

I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally...) 

I find so much joy in helping and serving others and I give myself fully to whatever it is that engages me, whether that is running a 50k or creating a website in a day.
