Why choose Personal branding session in Sedona?
A personal branding session in Sedona is a two-and-a-half-hour shoot of a business owner at work, delivering sixty retouched photographs in horizontal, vertical and square crops, priced from $650. Sedona has an unusual concentration of one-person businesses whose product is an experience in this landscape: trail and jeep guides, energy and bodywork practitioners, retreat hosts, painters and jewelers. Their brand pictures need the person, the tools of the trade and the red rock in one frame, which means planning the session around where the work actually happens, not around a studio.
Worth knowing about Sedona
A brand shoot on Coconino National Forest land stays permit-free only as long as it stays still. The forest waives a permit for photography with five or fewer people on site, but it requires a special use permit for all commercial filming, and a promotional reel recorded at Bell Rock for a business is commercial filming even with two people present. Sedona brand clients who want video as well as stills record it on private ground or apply to the Forest Service first.

FAQ — Personal branding session in Sedona
Can I film a reel for my business during a Sedona brand shoot on Forest Service land?
Not without a permit. The Coconino National Forest requires a special use permit for all commercial filming, which includes video that advertises a product or service, even when only a business owner and a photographer are present. Still photographs for a Sedona personal brand shoot with five or fewer people and no sets need no permit.
Can a Sedona trail guide be photographed leading clients for a brand shoot?
Yes, within the five-person limit. A Sedona guide photographed with three clients and the photographer is five people on Coconino National Forest land and needs no photography permit. Any guided trip on the forest itself needs the guide’s own Forest Service outfitter-guide authorization, which the brand shoot does not replace.
