Reno BRanding photography

When you’ve got a toothache, you book the dentist. Something feels off? You call the doctor. But when your business isn’t attracting the right clients, most people just...wait. No urgency. No action. Because the problem isn’t painful—it’s quiet. Subtle. And that’s how opportunity slips away.


That’s where branding photography comes in. We bridge the gap between who you are and how you’re perceived—so your message lands, your presence resonates, and the right clients think: -Yes! This is who I’ve been looking for all along!

The HEadhsot

Here’s a sharp, confident headshot of Dr. Miguel Villagra. The classic headshot has its purpose and place, and sometimes it's exactly what you need. But other times, you need more. You need context. Personality. A visual story that reflects the depth of what you do and makes it easy for people to trust you before you’ve said a word.

The Branding session

As the sun softened over downtown Reno, I met with Dr. Miguel Villagra for an early evening branding session - one that reflected his unique position at the intersection of modern medicine, holistic wellness, and forward-thinking leadership.


Miguel is not your typical physician. Yes, he’s board-certified and has years of clinical experience. But his true strength lies in how he bridges worlds - clinical and telehealth, traditional and natural, personal growth and professional reinvention. Our session was about capturing that convergence. The quiet confidence of someone who helps others not just heal - but evolve.

Miguel works primarily in telemedicine and is an advocate for natural approaches to health, including the thoughtful use of supplements. As a Physician's Life Coach and Positive Intelligence Coach, he supports other doctors navigating career transitions. His work with healthcare startups, his writing, and his coaching practice form a mosaic of influence - one rooted in clarity, purpose, and a refusal to settle for the status quo.

In photographing Miguel, I wanted to avoid clichés and lean into subtle expressions of professionalism and ease. We used the lines and light of downtown Reno as a backdrop—a setting that matched his grounded, practical energy with a hint of urban momentum. There was no need for props or forced poses. Just honest light, thoughtful composition, and a subject who understands the value of being fully present.

And while this session was tailored for a physician and coach, branding sessions aren’t just for doctors. They’re for any professional who wants to show up with clarity and purpose. Therapists, attorneys, designers, consultants, financial advisors, wellness practitioners, nonprofit leaders, startup founders, authors, executive coaches - anyone building trust through their work can benefit from strong, intentional imagery. If you work in a field where trust, clarity, and connection matter - your photos should do more than just “look nice.” They should speak to your ideal clients.
