FAQs - Because We Know You're Curious
We get it—branding can feel like a mystery wrapped in a riddle, covered in a layer of "Wait, what does that even mean?" You are not alone. That’s why we’ve put together this FAQ section to answer your burning questions about branding, photography, and what we stand for.
But because we believe in keeping things loud and clear, we’re letting you decide how much you want to know. Click "Say Less?" to reveal the details—then, if you change your mind (because curiosity always wins), hit "Nevermind, Say More."
Ready? Let’s get loud.
Q: What makes Live Out Loud™ Branding different from other branding agencies? We don’t do cookie-cutter branding. We create tailored branding experiences designed to help businesses stand out—not blend in. Our approach is rooted in storytelling, strategy, and visual impact, ensuring that your brand is both unforgettable and unapologetically YOU.
Q: I just need a logo. Can you help? Branding is more than just a logo. While we do create logos, we only do so as part of a comprehensive branding strategy that includes messaging, visuals, and positioning. A logo without strategy is just a pretty picture—it won’t build a brand.
Q: Do you offer branding consultations? Yes! Whether you need a full brand strategy, a photography session, or just guidance on your brand direction, we offer consultations to help you clarify and amplify your brand.
Q: How do I know what branding archetype my business fits into? We have a Brand Archetype Quiz that helps identify your brand’s core personality and messaging style.
Q: What’s the difference between commercial and personal photography rights? Great question! In short, commercial photography is used for business promotion (websites, ads, social media), while personal photography is for non-business use (family portraits, personal projects).
Q: Can I edit my branding photos? No. When you book a session, you’re investing in our expertise—not just the images. Cropping for social media is fine, but adding filters, retouching, or altering the final images is a violation of copyright. We ensure every image is polished and ready for professional use.
Q: Can I purchase full commercial rights to my photos? Yes! Our standard licensing allows for business use, but if you need exclusive, unrestricted rights, we offer buyout options. Let’s discuss your needs so we can create the right solution for you.
Q: Does Live Out Loud Branding™ take a stance on social justice? Absolutely. We believe in equal rights, inclusivity, and using our platform for good. If that’s not your thing, we’re probably not the right fit.
Q: Are you LGBTQ+ friendly? 100% yes. Always. No exceptions.
Q: What does ‘Blue Dot in a Red State’ mean? It means we are proudly progressive in an area that isn’t always welcoming of that. We believe in reproductive rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, immigrant rights, and fair pay for creatives—and we won’t apologize for it.
Q: Do you work with all businesses? We welcome working with a diverse range of businesses and entrepreneurs. However, we do not take on projects that would require us to compromise our values, ethics, or beliefs. Our goal is to create branding that is authentic, impactful, and aligned with our mission of inclusivity and integrity.
