Dentist Marketing Photos

When a patient starts looking for a new dentist, that person is often going to look at marketing photos that represent the dental office in a few places – on the Google listing, on the website, and possibly on social media or printed materials.

A lot of small businesses use stock photos on their websites, but stock photos aren’t going to work for your Google Business Listing. If you work directly with clients and really want to focus on marketing for dental offices or a similar type of business, people want to see real photos of your actual employees to get a sense for how welcomed they’ll feel if they choose that provider.

So when Beyond Dental was ready to add custom images to their website, Google listing, and other places, we set up a marketing photo shoot.

Having worked with a few dentists/orthodontists around the Lansing, Michigan area now, here’s my advice for anyone looking to set up their own custom branding photos: whether you’re using models, friends, family members, or actual patients for your photos, make sure you get written permission. This is especially important if you’re asking your actual patients to be in photos, but you’ll be surprised by how many will be receptive to the idea.

Inspiration: Studio + On Location Branding Photos – Sailing in the Detroit River

A series of branding headshots of a young business owner in Detroit, Michigan by Allie Siarto and co. Photography, Lansing, Michigan commercial and editorial photographers.

When Lauren came to me for her small business branding photos, she wanted to convey both her professionalism as a wedding photographer and her passions outside of her business. She needed photos that would personalize her professional website and give her something to work with in social media.

It was also important to her to keep her branding colors in mind—mainly light blue and white.

After Lauren filled out her Story Session Questionnaire, we planned her session out in two parts:

  1. Studio branding photos at The Lansing Studio (this was before I had my own studio, but I do love all that we have to work with when I’m taking photos in that space)
  2. On Location photos on her family’s sailboat on the Detroit River (this is a big part of Lauren’s family and personal story)

Lauren did a great job bringing those branding colors into her clothing to tie the whole session together.

Three Branding Photography Tips to Learn From Lauren

  1. As a solo business owner, don’t be afraid to mix things up. Yes, absolutely get those professional photos that show you hard at work. But you might also find that showing your own personal side will be a great fit for social media content and other sections of your website.
  2. Bring your branding colors into your outfits to maintain consistency.
  3. Bring along personalize props, like that little succulent that lives on your desk, or your favorite art print.

Commercial Photography: Zeke the Wonder Dog + Graduate East Lansing

Commercial photography image of Zeke the Wonder Dog sitting on a green velvet couch at Graduate Hotel in East Lansing, Michigan, by Allie Siarto & Co., branding photographers

I first started chatting with Abby, a Marketing Manager at Graduate Hotels, about branding photo opportunities for the hotel last March. We were originally talking about about taking photos of MSU graduating seniors at Graduate East Lansing’s rooftop bar overlooking campus around Spring graduation week, but Covid impacted the hotel launch (like it does)—so Abby changed gears and set up our first photo shoot with Zeke the Wonder Dog.

I’ve worked with a lot of dogs over the years, and a lot of them have been extremely well behaved (don’t worry—plenty of dogs have been far less than perfect, and we’ve still gotten great shots of them). But Zeke’s training is at a whole other level, and I have so much respect for the time it must have taken to get him to this level.

But even the best trained dog will keep you on your toes during a photo shoot. Patience only lasts so long when you’re a pup, so I had to act fast to create a set of photos for Graduate East Lansing to use on Instagram and in other marketing materials.
