I’ve always loved the outdoors for photography—the glow of a sunset, the rustle of leaves, the little pockets of beauty that feel like they were waiting just for us. But recently, I did something different. I stepped into a studio for my very first branding session, and let me tell you—it was amazing.

I didn’t have sweeping fields or salty ocean air this time. But what I did have was natural light pouring in through big, beautiful windows, and a client whose energy lit up the whole space: Jaclyn Rusnak Artistry.

A Creative Space for a Creative Soul

Jaclyn is a makeup artist with a style that’s warm, modern, and effortlessly cool. She needed branding portraits that matched her vibe—professional and confident, but still her. Images for her website, LinkedIn, social media… a suite of shots that said, This is who I am. This is my artistry.

The studio gave us the perfect backdrop to play with. Clean lines, soft light, and all the space we needed to let her shine. And even though we were indoors, the natural light worked its magic. It filtered in and wrapped around Jaclyn just right, highlighting her confidence and creativity in a way that felt so authentic.

Why the Studio Felt Like a Dream

There’s a different kind of rhythm in a studio. No wind whipping hair around. Just calm, relatively consistent light and a world of possibilities. Jaclyn brought outfit changes, props, and little details that spoke to her brand. Each set-up told a different part of her story, and the studio gave us the freedom to capture it all.

We laughed, we experimented, we created. The light shifted with us, and every frame felt like a step closer to Jaclyn’s vision.

Finding New Light

This session taught me that natural light isn’t just for wide-open spaces. It’s wherever you let it in. And working with Jaclyn? That was the icing on the cake. Seeing her in her element, capturing the essence of her artistry, and creating images that help her share her passion with the world—it reminded me why I love doing this so much.

Whether we’re outside in the wild or tucked inside a cozy studio, there’s always a way to find the light and tell your story.
