This branding session had to be as bold, playful, and full of personality as Romi herself. We designed a shoot that felt like a party — full of fresh colors, fun vibes, and the same joyful energy she brings to every ROMA Photobooth event. The final gallery reflects all of it. Her updated color palette, the creative heart behind her brand, and that magnetic, celebratory spirit she’s known for. The studio we booked gave us the perfect canvas to play, explore, and create a branding photography session that felt relaxed, vibrant, and totally her.

Finding the Right Studio for a Branding Photography Session

We booked a midcentury-inspired studio through Peerspace, and it ended up being the perfect match. Tons of natural light and fun furniture— the kind of space that just works when you’re playing with bold colors and creative props.

The studio gave us the flexibility and variety we needed to bring Romi’s brand to life in a way that felt elevated but still easygoing. If you’re looking for Orange County studio branding photography, a space like this is such a game changer. Clean backdrops, great light, and room to play make all the difference.

Branding with Personality, Props, and Aperol Spritz

One thing I always encourage with branding sessions is to bring the things that feel like you. Romi did exactly that. She came in with an Aperol Spritz in hand (her favorite) and a handful of colorful photo booth props. She also brought elements from past events that made her brand what it is — joyful, celebratory, and never too serious.

We kept things collaborative and relaxed, building sets and moments that felt true to ROMA’s vibe: colorful, confident, and just plain fun.

Why We Booked a 3-Hour Studio Branding Session

Three hours might sound like a lot, but for a branding session like this, it was the sweet spot. It gave us time to ease into the flow, try different looks, mix in props, and capture a variety of content without feeling rushed.

When you’re investing in a Costa Mesa branding photography session, building in that time to breathe and be creative is everything. Your personality shines through when there’s time to slow down. That’s what modern branding photography is really all about.

A Little Digital, A Little 35mm Film

One of my favorite parts of this session was shooting a mix of digital and 35mm film. Adding film to your gallery brings such a nostalgic, editorial feel. With warm tones, soft grain, and that extra bit of magic you can’t quite replicate. It gave ROMA’s shoot that blend of polished and playful that felt exactly right for her rebrand.

Branding Photography with Heart

This session was exactly what a branding shoot should be: collaborative, full of color, and rooted in who Romi is and what she wants her brand to feel like. Whether you’re updating your website, launching something new, or just ready for a refresh, branding photography should feel like you.

I’m based in Costa Mesa and love working with local creatives, entrepreneurs, and lifestyle brands to tell their stories through playful, personality-packed images. Let’s make something beautiful together.
