Real Results From Brand Photographers Like You
"It's all so organized, efficient and action oriented! I have learned so much from you, thank you thank you!!
I just used the Branding Questionnaire to prepare an Action Plan on the Strategy call with a client. I know I'm able to give her a better experience because you made what you taught SO easy to implement immediately with the questionnaire and action plan docs. Thank you!"
- Lindsay
"She has a wealth of knowledge that she openly shares and thoughtfully answered any questions that we had.
My biggest takeaway was how she plans everything out with the client beforehand, how she approaches the session on the day of the shoot. All of the materials and documents that she shared with us throughout the entire process so we can use them for our own businesses are invaluable. I would highly recommend working with Emily!"
- Mary
This course is insane and so full of literally EVERYTHING I've been needing clarity on in revamping my business.
"Emily, you're a freaking genius! This course is insane and so full of literally EVERYTHING I've been needing clarity on in revamping my business. I'm going through the modules and just wanted to say quickly how grateful I am for you and all that you're sharing with us."

Meet Emily Kim, Your Business Mentor
(and Your Brand Photographer’s Favorite Brand Photographer)
Hi! I’m Emily, a brand photographer, former studio owner, and business mentor who helps photographers build profitable businesses doing what they love.
After leaving my 9-5 as an Apple software engineer with an MBA, I built a multiple six-figure (in profit) brand photography business in one of the most competitive markets in the country (San Francisco Bay Area, California).
As for the how behind the numbers? I devised a unique method to incorporate photo studios, hair + makeup artists (HMUAs), wardrobe stylists, and more into my brand photography packages.
Now, I’m teaching brand photographers inside The Premium Brand Photography Course to replicate my full-service brand photography experience, so they can build profitable, premium photography businesses, too.

Brand photographers take photos.
Premium brand photographers create experiences.
There’s a big difference between being just a brand photographer and being the trusted creative director of a full-service brand photography experience.
When you step into the role of a premium brand photographer, you’re no longer just showing up with a camera. You’re managing a team of professionals—stylists, hair and makeup artists, and your clients—while directing a seamless shoot day.
The Premium Brand Photographer Course will show you how to confidently take charge, direct a team of stylists and beauty professionals, and execute high-end shoots that position you as the obvious choice for premium clients.
The Premium Brand Photographer Course is right for you if:
✅ You want to make more money per session and generate better results for your clients without spending more time behind the camera.
✅ You want to be known as THE go-to brand photographer in your area.
✅ You're committed to elevating your services, your client experience, and trying something new.
This course might not be the right fit for you if:
🚫 You are new to brand photography or only want to photograph products, not people.
🚫 You’re looking for quick-fix pricing hacks to make more money without adding value.
🚫 You won't approach this business model with an open mind, or you think, "My clients won't pay for this." (Trust me: the right clients will!)
A Full-Service Brand Photography Experience Your Clients Love? Say Less.
One of the biggest challenges that brand photographers face is hearing, “I’m talking to a few other photographers”—only for the client to ghost or choose someone else.
This happens for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest? They don’t see why you’re the clear choice.
After implementing The Premium Brand Photographer Course, the goal is for clients to say, “I’m talking to a few other photographers, but you make the most sense because you include everything!”
To help you make this shift with confidence, I’m giving you exclusive coaching support—including 3 months of group coaching for all students and a 1:1 call for the first five who enroll—to ensure you have everything you need to become the premier choice in your area.
