Intimate, relatable, and natural brand photos for small businesses and creatives in Charlottesville, VA

Charlottesville small business and brand photography

Leah O'Connell Photography

The photos on your website and marketing materials set the tone of your business. They are a critical piece of your virtual storefront, building trust and providing clarity about your brand, message, and offers.
Let's make sure the vibe is right.

Standard sessions last about an hour and include headshots, details / products, team photos, candid captures of different stages in your process, your tools and materials, and whatever else you need to tell your story well.

About 2 weeks after your session, you’ll receive 50+ fully edited images in an online gallery with commercial release with rights to reproduce so you can start implementing them right away to help your business thrive.


Images that help you show what you bring to the table.

"These are fantastic! We cannot stop raving about them. That completely capture the essence of Bottle House."

It feels like she really wants to capture what makes my business unique. Communication before our sessions allowed me to just relax and enjoy during the shoots. 

"I've now had 3 sessions with Leah and the experience and photos have been fantastic each time.
