With 1,074 images uploaded to Instagram every second you need high-quality custom photos for your business to stand out from the competition
We create them together.
Hi, I’m Linda Carnell, founder of Brand and Bloom Photography, based in Winston Salem, NC, and available to capture your business worldwide. I take curated brand photos to tell YOUR story and help you stand out from the competition.
I’m an international commercial photographer passionate about helping my clients bring their brand to life so they can have a library loaded with images that are consistent with their brand identity.
My photography style is bright and clean with a timeless appeal because people are drawn to bright images with a clear focus. And my goal is to help you rise above the noise and break new barriers in your business with a successful brand and strong visual identity. The reality is, you only have a millisecond to catch someone’s attention visually, and bright and clear images are more likely to stop someone’s scroll.
I specialize in personal branding photography, product photography services, and professional headshots to help your business stand out.

Brand photography is an indispensable part of your marketing strategy, and if you’re not efficiently selling your product or services, you’re probably overdue for professional brand photography.
Brand photography is everything when it comes to your visual identity. These photos represent you across all your platforms — think beyond your website photography and social media photography, but also your email newsletters, products, sales pages, ads, printed brand collateral, and more.
These photos are meant to work for you to create a consistent brand identity and feel across all platforms — and that’s the basis of everything we do together.
With Brand and Bloom photography, we put your business goals at the forefront of our approach to help you stand out from the crowded Instagram feed with photos that showcase why your business is unique.
With stock photos and selfies you can’t do that, and cliché photos of you holding an empty coffee cup and smiling at your laptop doesn’t do your brand justice.
It’s why every piece of the process is so intentional from our initial conversation to your gallery send-off, every piece is crafted with purpose to be certain we create pictures that are a genuine reflection of your passions, your unique offerings, and most importantly, you.
No matter what realm of business you’re in from e-commerce to real estate, we’ll develop a visual content plan that translates into high-quality images designed to attract your ideal clients. These photos will help you increase your online presence, social media engagement, and will save you time to reach your business goals with photography that helps your customers to know, like, and trust you faster — an essential part of the purchase cycle.
My love for helping other business owners grow has been a long time coming.
And it’s the thing I’m most passionate about.
I’ve always had a passion for marketing which started in my first career working as a global marketing manager for Microsoft. After I had my first daughter, I decided to retire from Microsoft to stay home with her and my future children.
Shortly after, I decided to launch a small papercrafting company which grew to be a multi-national direct sales company with thousands of consultants and stores. I absolutely loved my company and for two decades I was the chief photographer for everything from printed marketing materials to our website photos. From this, I gained a wealth of knowledge that became the reason Brand and Bloom Photography was started — I realized just how uniquely qualified I am to help other small businesses tell their stories with strategic brand photos.
When COVID hit in 2020, I really got my push to create this business when I was inundated with requests from other local business owners looking for photography and marketing support because their in-person business was now forced to be online — they needed to show up in a strong way.
Combining my love for photography with my marketing skills, I started helping other business owners stop posting mediocre photos and replace them with remarkable photos that aided in their growth.
Since launching my branding photography business, I've worked with a wide variety of clients shooting in their homes, in studios, and around town, and I've had the pleasure of working with clients in Canada, France, Curacao, and at home in the USA.
I feel like I was born to be a brand photographer, and I’d love to work with you to assist your small business in getting the online recognition it deserves.
