Hoboken & NYC Branding Photographer for Lenore in Color

As a Hoboken & NYC Branding Photographer, one of my favorite parts of this work is collaborating with creatives who bring their own artistry, perspective, and vision into a session. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Lenore of Lenore in Color—an artist whose work is rooted in both faith and creativity. Her branding session was a beautiful reminder that professional photography can do more than capture a polished image—it can tell the deeper story of who you are and why you create.

Lenore’s Creative Journey

Lenore has always loved making art, but a few years ago she dove into surface pattern design as a way to do something with the art she was already creating. Over time, she found that her most authentic expression came through acrylic painting and collage. These mediums allow her to connect her faith journey with her creative practice, weaving together two of the most important parts of her life.

“I love the fact that these two important areas of my life, art and faith, are both journeys that inform each other. I hope to share my explorations with others who want to find a similar art/faith path in their own life.”

In addition to acrylics and collage, Lenore also works in watercolors, gouache, ink, and digital design—always experimenting with new techniques that give her audiences fresh ways to connect with her message.

Capturing an Artist’s Brand Through Photography

For artists like Lenore, branding photography isn’t just about professional portraits. It’s about creating a visual narrative that shows the person behind the art as much as the work itself.

During Lenore’s branding session, I focused on capturing:

Lifestyle images of her in her creative environment, surrounded by her tools and works in progress.
Detail shots highlighting the textures, brushstrokes, and colors that define her acrylic and collage process.
Professional portraits that align with her website and marketing materials, helping her connect with collectors, galleries, and creative collaborators.

The goal was to create images that felt authentic to her—reflecting both her professionalism and her warmth, while giving her a cohesive collection of photos she can use across all her platforms.

Why Branding Photography Matters for Artists

As an artist, designer, or creative professional, your work speaks volumes, but your audience also wants to know the story behind it. Branding photography bridges that gap by helping you share who you are as much as what you create.

Here are a few reasons branding photography is especially powerful for artists:

1. Authentic Storytelling

Branding photography captures you in the act of creating—whether painting, sketching, collaging, or working digitally. These images show your audience your process and make your story more relatable.

2. Professional Presence Online

From websites to Instagram to press features, polished imagery elevates your brand and helps you stand out. A session provides consistent, high-quality visuals for all your platforms.

3. Building Audience Connection

Collectors, clients, and collaborators want to know the person behind the artwork. Branding photography puts a face to the name and helps people connect with your values, passion, and personality.

4. Marketing Versatility

A single session gives you a library of images you can use everywhere—on your website, blog, newsletter, Etsy shop, portfolio, or social media. The result? A cohesive brand identity that feels intentional and professional.

The Artist’s Journey, Captured

Working with Lenore reminded me how meaningful branding photography can be for creatives. For artists, the right photos go beyond simple portraits—they become a visual brand identity, showing not only the finished product but also the soul, inspiration, and journey behind it.

Lenore’s branding session was a celebration of her faith, artistry, and authenticity. The images we created now live on her website and marketing materials, giving her a polished, cohesive presence that reflects exactly who she is.

5 stars

"Marie shot and edited all the images for my artist's website. I am not someone who loves to be in the "spotlight" or getting my picture taken. Marie made me feel very comfortable while also offering professional guidance to make sure I looked my best. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for help with their business brand."
