010 Marcy Browe: Brand Photography, Music, and Appreciation

I wanted to have this conversation with Marcy and told her if she got the Samson Q2U, I’d schedule with her. 

As a branding portrait photographer with extensive marketing and advertising experience, Marcy Browe uses this unique skill set to help her clients uncover their personal brand. Then, she brings that brand vision to life by creating stunning visual images that perfectly capture her client’s next-level version of themselves.

As a thriving portrait photographer, she’s able to immediately connect with her photo subjects to make them feel at ease and to allow them to enjoy their experience. This is her superpower, both behind the camera lens and when she’s presenting to a group. This is Marcy Browe.

Marcy talks about the influences in your life as a part of your brand. So inescapably and what usually creeps into this show, we talked about some of the music that has influenced each of us in our lives.
