Hi there! I’m Renee Vernon, a Photographer with 20 years of experience and a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach. I specialize in brand and lifestyle photography for editorial and magazine features, fashion retail, tech companies, entrepreneurs, musicians, authors, and VIP clients. I’m based in Phoenix, AZ and also work from Santa Barbara, CA.

My work is rooted in creating elevated, story-driven imagery, supported by a coaching-informed approach that helps you feel confident, natural, and fully yourself on camera.

I decided to combine my two passions after noticing something undeniable, my coaching clients carried a completely different presence on camera after our work together. More confident. More at ease. More themselves. When you’re truly aligned with who you are, it shows in every frame.

Up until now, the idea of a photoshoot may have felt overwhelming, even if your current images are outdated or don’t reflect you the way they should.

Trust me, I get it. A photoshoot can feel like a lot or it can feel grounded, empowering, and surprisingly effortless. That’s exactly what I create for my clients.

No awkward poses. Nothing that feels forced or unnatural. That’s not how I work.

I deeply value your time, vision, and the level you’re operating at. Together, we’ll create a refined collection of images that feel authentic to you and resonate with the people you’re here to reach.

OUR PROCESS

We will do everything collaboratively.

And when you have brand photography you LOVE (and you will!) you’ll be more excited and empowered to confidently show up, sell your services, and be paid as the expert you are in your industry. Great images that resonate with your audience will help your ideal clients fall in love with your brand. 

How does it work?

Great question — let me start with letting you know you’ll feel 100% supported and encouraged the entire time we’re together and there will be an easy planning process to check off your wants & needs Shot List. 

All you need to do is show up for yourself, and I’ll handle the rest. I’ll be gently coaching you from behind the lens, so you’ll feel completely supported. You’ve got this!

Plus, all VIP photoshoots come complete with a preparatory Photoshoot Pre-Prep Guide and a “Vision Quest” Moodboard to allow us to align together on looks and ideas you resonate with. I’ll help with location scouting, edited final images, and you’ll have me hyping you up day of our session for mood boosting. :) Nerves? Nah. Most clients say the time flies by and they wished they had done this a long time ago!

You will have personality-filled lifestyle photos you’ll be excited to share. Both you and your audience will get to see you in a whole new light.

The best part?

We’ll have a ton of fun while doing it too — guaranteed!

I can’t wait to SEE you!
