Laurie Bishop - Become Studios
I’m a brand portrait photographer for women 50+ who want to show up confidently in their business, career, and life. As a creative director and a woman in my 50s, I understand the unique challenges—and the incredible opportunities—that come with this stage. Many of my clients tell me they’ve put off professional photos because they “don’t feel photogenic” or “aren’t ready yet.” I get it. Life is busy, our priorities shift, and sometimes we feel like we’ll be ready “once we lose a few pounds” or “once we find the right outfit.” But waiting often means missing opportunities to share who you are right now—and right now matters.
That’s why my process is designed to make you feel prepared, comfortable, and confident before we even step in front of the camera. I take time to get to know you, your work, and your vision for how you want to be seen. This isn’t a rushed, cookie-cutter experience—it’s a collaboration.
With more than 20 years in brand design and storytelling, I know that powerful portraits start with preparation. I help you choose clothing that reflects your style and brand message, select locations that enhance your story, and bring in trusted hair and makeup artists who make you look polished but still like yourself. Together, we’ll create a visual narrative that captures your personality, expertise, and presence.
On shoot day, I guide you through poses, expressions, and setups that feel natural, not stiff. You’ll have space to relax, breathe, and enjoy the process—because when you feel at ease, your true presence shines. Whether we’re capturing images for your website, LinkedIn, speaking engagements, or press features, my goal is to create photos that work hard for you—images that help you be seen for all that you bring to your work.
Photography isn’t just about a flattering picture. It’s about creating a visual representation of your confidence, wisdom, and leadership at this point in your journey. When you step into your presence, you don’t just get noticed—you connect. You inspire trust. And you remind people—most importantly, yourself—that your story is worth telling right now, exactly as you are.
