Strategic Head Shots and Executive Image Advisory
for Leaders Ready to Be Seen
Before you are heard, you are seen.
Your image should reflect not only who you are — but who you are becoming. Most clients begin this process when their role or visibility has shifted and they need their image to reflect their position authentically.
MEET THE FOUNDER & Advisor
hi, I'm PAIGE!
I am the founder of Bellus Photography and the advisor behind The Bellus Head Shot and The Brand Authority Method.
The Brand Authority Method is a strategic preparation and embodiment process designed to ensure your image reflects the level you operate. My work focuses on guiding professionals through moments of increased visibility — when how you are seen matters as much as what you say.
Most people are not comfortable in front of the camera, and they do not need to be. My role is to provide structure, clarity, and direction throughout the process, so you are never left guessing how to pose.
The result is not a performance. It is an image that reflects who you are.
Why Bellus?
Guided, advisory-led sessions
Every session is structured, fully guided, and designed around a clear theme.
A composed, professional experience
The process is organized, efficient, and respectful of your time.
Images aligned with your brand
Final portraits are refined, current, and to reflect credibility, authority, and approachability.

Two Ways to Work Together:
The Executive Studio Portrait Session
For professionals and business owners who need a current, polished image without a full advisory session. Executive Studio sessions are photographed at the Bellus studio and are designed to be efficient (we respect your busy schedule), guided, authentic and refined.
This session is ideal for those who:
•Need an elevated professional portrait for business, media, or online presence
•Prefer a simple, focused studio appointment
•Sessions include guided posing and expression coaching, professional retouching of selected images, with the option to add images to your collection
Head shots are offered on select studio dates each month.
Session planning beginswith a consultation to determine if a head shot session or the image advisory experience is the best fit for your needs.
The Executive Brand Authority Experience
You are looking for more than a photoshoot.
You need to alig your image with your leadership, your presence, and your next chapter.
The Executive Brand Authority Experience is designed for professionals and business owners who want more than a simple update and are ready for imagery that fully reflects their role, presence, and level of visibility. The Bellus Brand Authority Method is a private, high-touch experience designed for leaders who understand that visibility requires intentional positioning. This session is thoughtfully planned and guided from start to finish, with attention to wardrobe, styling, expression, and image usage. We take the time to create a cohesive set of brand portraits, resulting in a refined collection of images that feel natural, confident, and aligned with where you are now and where you are going.
This session is ideal for those who:
•Are stepping into a new level of leadership, visibility, or professional growth
•Have built a career or business they are proud of and want their image to reflect that level
•Need more than a single head shot and would benefit from a cohesive set of professional portraits
•Value thoughtful planning, wardrobe guidance, and a fully guided experience
For many clients, this experience marks a moment where their image needs to align with the brand and image they have created.
Which session is right for you?
The Executive Brand Authority Experience is ideal if you:
*Are stepping into a new role, promotion, or increased visibility
*Need imagery that reflects leadership, authority, and presence
*Want a fully guided, styled, and in-depth portrait experience
*Prefer time to create a cohesive set of images for multiple uses
A Bellus Headshot may be the better fit if you:
*Need a current, polished professional image
*Prefer a simple and efficient studio session
*Want a refined update without a full advisory experience
*Value guidance and quality but have limited time
Request a consultation and we’ll determine the best fit together.
Recent Client Work
Most of my clients are established professionals and business owners who have worked hard to build meaningful careers and lives. They are thoughtful about how they show up in the world and want their images to reflect who they are seen by their clients — capable, credible, and comfortable in their own skin.
Many have not loved being photographed in the past and are often surprised by how grounded and guided this experience feels.
My work is rooted in helping people feel at ease, refining the details that matter, and creating portraits that look polished and natural without ever feeling forced or stale.
Each session is guided, intentionally
styled, and aligned with the client’s role and visibility.
The Executive Brand Authority Method
How it Works:
1. The Consultation: Strategic Identity Alignment
We begin with a private and focused consultation to understand your current role, visibility,
and the impression your image needs to communicate and support. We will define how you want to be perceived, identify visual gaps in your
brand imagery, and clarify your next-level positioning.
This ensures we’re aligned with your branding before we ever take the first shot.
2. Wardrobe, Tone & Presence: Curated Preparation
During this personalized pre-program, we will design theme, decide wardrobe choices, create the tone and
overall presence for the shoot. Everything is intentionally guided based on your
role and your audience and brand aesthetic.
3. The Session: Authority Execution
Your session is fully guided, directed and structured. Posing, expression,
and pacing are managed throughout the session to create composed and confident images.
4. The Image Reveal & Refinement
Following your session, your images are thoughtfully curated into a strategic collection.
During a private reveal session, you are guided through a purposeful selection process — choosing the images that most powerfully reflect your authority, clarity, and presence.
Together, we refine your final collection to ensure every image serves your visibility, positioning, and long-term brand growth.
If this sounds like the kind of experience you have been looking for,
I invite you to begin with a consultation and we can plan the details together.
