Client Spotlight Green Light Therapy: A Brand Photo Session Rooted in Trust, Play, and Purpose

When Samantha, founder of Green Light Speech Therapy, reached out for a brand session, she was clear about two things

  1. She didn’t love having her photo taken.

  2. She did want her brand to reflect the heart of her clinic, joyful, respectful, and real.

As a speech-language pathologist who specializes in feeding therapy, Samantha works with children and families in incredibly sensitive moments. Her approach is grounded in compassion, calm, and collaboration, not pressure or fear.

So we set out to capture exactly that.

Planning for Purpose

Before the session, we met in person to walk through her clinic and plan every detail:

  • Identified therapy rooms and lighting setups

  • Mapped out real-life scenarios to capture feeding, speech, and play-based therapy

  • Built a shot list focused on action, connection, and authentic interaction

  • Coordinated with team members, parent participants, and “model” kids

  • Discussed outfit choices to pop against the blue-grey walls of her space

 

We also talked about how video could take her storytelling to the next level, letting parents see what makes her work so special.

The Session: Real Therapy, Real Emotions

This half-day session was full of color, emotion, and meaningful moments. We captured:

  • Toddlers playing with food and using sensory tools

  • Joyfully messy feeding therapy with a baby

  • Parent involvement and gentle therapist guidance

  • Speech therapy with elementary-aged children using games and myo tools

  • Flatlays of feeding tools and food textures

  • Warm, personality-driven team headshots

  • B-roll video clips from every scenario

The end result was a rich library of images and a brand video that lives on her homepage,
building trust instantly with families looking for help.

Why This Brand Session Worked

This wasn’t about capturing a picture-perfect clinic, it was about showing the real work that happens every day:

  • Messy avocado fingers.

  • Bright food crafts.

  • Thoughtful, hands-on therapy.

  • Genuine moments between therapist, child, and parent.

Samantha’s values respect, kindness, and honesty, shine through in every image and video clip, giving potential clients a clear sense of the care and connection they’ll experience at Green Light Therapy.


In Samantha’s Words:

“Nicola made the whole process so easy.
She was incredibly organized, gave clear direction,
and made the experience feel relaxed and fun.
She even put everyone else at ease who was part of the shoot!"

“The photos? Better than anything I could’ve dreamed of.
They captured exactly what I was hoping for, and then some.”
