Confident in Every Phase: A Personal Branding Mini Shoot in Amsterdam

One of my favorite parts of flash sessions is how deeply personal they can still be, even in just 15 minutes. This recent portrait session was with a perimenopause coach who’s actively building her personal brand and stepping into more visibility online.


Like many women in business, she shared that she’s not often in front of the camera and has been consciously working on feeling more confident being photographed. This session was part of that growth, both personally and professionally.


Her words after the shoot say it all:

“What a wonderful and fun photo session with a really talented photographer. I’m not often in front of the camera and have been pushing myself to get comfortable being photographed. Joanna really made me feel confident. She guided and directed the shoot in a fun and creative way. I’ll definitely do another shoot with Joanna. Highly recommended.” And we are already in talks for a new photo session coming soon :).


What made this session shine was her openness to the process. We focused on capturing images that felt authentic, approachable, and empowering, perfect for her brand and her mission.

In just 15 minutes, we created a set of portraits that she can confidently use on her website, social media, and any platform where she’s guiding women through transformational life stages.


These quick but intentional sessions are ideal for coaches, creatives, consultants, or any professional seeking high-quality, personality-rich images without the commitment of a full photoshoot day.


Interested in refreshing your own brand imagery? Let’s create something that feels truly you.


Until next photo session,
