Author Branding & Headshots with Rebecca Ross in Atlanta

At Papillon Visuals, we love working with creatives who inspire us—and this recent branding and headshot session with bestselling author Rebecca Ross was such a special one. Rebecca is known for crafting immersive worlds and unforgettable characters in her novels, so it was only fitting that her portraits reflect the same sense of depth, artistry, and timelessness.

A Creative Vision Meets Professional Branding

When it comes to branding photography for authors, our goal is to balance professionalism with personality. An author’s headshot isn’t just about looking polished—it’s about capturing an essence that readers, publishers, and media outlets will instantly recognize. With Rebecca, we wanted her portraits to highlight both her creative spirit and her professional presence.

A Session Designed for Storytelling

We curated a session north of Atlanta that leaned into warm tones, natural light, and subtle textures to complement Rebecca’s style. Her look was whimsical yet approachable, giving her the kind of versatile portraits that can work across book jackets, press releases, interviews, and social media. Every angle and expression told its own story, just as her writing does.

Why Author Branding Matters

For writers, a great headshot is more than just a photo—it’s part of their brand identity. Whether it’s appearing on the back of a novel, in a magazine interview, or on a publisher’s website, these images become a visual extension of the author’s voice. We always encourage our creative clients to think of headshots as storytelling tools: a way to visually introduce themselves before a reader even opens the book.

The Result

Rebecca’s final gallery reflects the heart of her work—thoughtful, inspiring, and timeless. We’re so honored to have collaborated with her and can’t wait to see these portraits accompanying her future projects.
