- CLIENT EXPERIENCE -
“My company used Melissa as a professional headshot photographer at our trade show booth and she was fantastic! She delivered the items on time and went above and beyond at the trade show helping us capture everyone’s contact information. 10/10 would recommend.”
“My partner and I just did a branding photoshoot with Melissa for our business, and it was amazing! We needed fresh content for our website and social media, and she captured exactly what we needed to upgrade the look and feel of our brand.
Not only did the photos turn out perfect, but the photoshoot itself was a lot of fun, and Melissa made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We highly recommend working with her!”
“Having the opportunity to work with Melissa was amazing! This was my first photoshoot and the support that I received was so comforting. I expressed my brand to Melissa, along with the type of photoshoot I wanted to do. Not only did she help me find a location, she sent me tips for picking an outfit and guided me along the way with my poses.
She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and helped my first shoot be a success. I have actually booked her on a continuous basis to have social media content and branding/product photos. If you are looking for a photographer and are a newbie to photoshoots, book with Bordeau Photo!”

- FAQS -
-
Branding sessions focus on telling the full story of your business — your personality, your process, your products, and services. As an Austin branding photographer, I design sessions that feel authentic to you. Headshot sessions are typically shorter and focus more on capturing professional portraits for LinkedIn, websites, and marketing materials.
Not sure which session is right for you? I am happy to help you decide based on your goals!
-
Branding photography is strategic and story-driven. As an Austin branding photographer, I design these sessions to create a cohesive image library for your business or personal brand, with intention behind wardrobe, locations, posing, and how the images will be used across your website, social media, and marketing materials.
Creative portraits are more expressive and editorial in nature. They focus on mood, personality, and artistry rather than brand strategy, and are ideal for creatives, musicians, artists, or individuals looking for striking imagery without the structure or scope of a full branding session.
If you’re building or refreshing a brand and need polished, versatile visuals, branding photography is the best fit. If you’re looking for a standout portrait with a creative edge, a creative portrait session is perfect.
