ABOUT ME
My work blends creativity with strategy to give you more than just beautiful photos - I deliver a visual toolkit that adds real value to your business.
I’m Vanessa Stump, a Los Angeles–based brand photographer specializing in strategic, story-driven imagery for creative women in business. After years of working with designers, marketers, and service providers, I’ve learned that great photos aren’t just about looking good - they’re about helping you lead with confidence.
I created this guide because I know how overwhelming it can feel to market yourself visually - especially when you’re the face of your brand. I’ve been there too. But the good news? With the right plan, you can build a photo library that reflects your talent, tells your story, and helps you show up like the expert you already are.
My job is to make you feel confident and seen - while creating images that truly work for your business.
