Branding Photo Session With Jill

Client Spotlight:

Business Branding Session with Jill Carrade of ProMortgage

Post on: May 7, 2025

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing my good friend and talented mortgage broker, Jill Carrade, for a long-overdue branding session. Jill is an Executive Loan Officer with ProMortgage, a boutique firm based in Marin County. We first connected through a local women’s business networking group, where I’ve come to deeply admire her drive, professionalism, and heart. So when she reached out for updated photos to reflect where she is in her business journey, I was genuinely excited to collaborate.

On the day of the shoot, Jill was juggling a packed schedule and admitted she was feeling a little stressed—understandably so! Like many women in business, it’s hard to carve out time for yourself when you're always showing up for clients, team members, and family. She also told me she wasn’t super comfortable being in front of the camera, but trusted me to guide her through it.

We chose her beautiful home in Larkspur as the backdrop, which not only made the session convenient but also perfectly aligned with her brand. As someone who helps clients navigate home financing, it felt natural to photograph her in a space that spoke to warmth, comfort, and the idea of “home.” Plus, the lighting was gorgeous!

Throughout the session, I coached Jill on simple, natural posing and gave her plenty of encouragement (and laughs) along the way. By the end, she was relaxed, confident, and looked absolutely radiant.

A week later, I sent over her gallery—and she loved the photos! She told me she felt I really helped her feel at ease and appreciated the guidance on how to look and feel natural in front of the camera. That’s exactly what I strive for in every branding session.
