Meet
Gina Cinardo
Personal Branding Photographer & Strategist
Gina, of Ginici Studios, is an enthusiastic personal branding photographer who is hired by women business owners and entrepreneurs that don’t feel like they stand out in their industry. Because they’re not visually connecting to their ideal customer they want beautiful photographs that authentically illustrate their brand message so they can attract new and loyal clients.
Gina started her career managing a photography studio in Phoenix Arizona. She worked as a beauty photographer and business photographer. Besides managing the studio she was also the company’s marketing director and designed all the ad work, photo packages, and signage for the shop. Gina went on to work as both a commercial corporate photographer, and design specialist for Boeing and Ball Aerospace in the mid-2000s.
When I moved to the Central Coast of California I started my business, Ginici Studios, offering branding, marketing, and photography. It wasn’t until 2014 that I realized I could be a personal branding photographer. So, I started to offer photography branding packages to my clients who needed more than just a business headshot.
With a degree in fine art photography and a strong working background in visual marketing as a business photographer I’ve always understood the importance of making a great first impression to attract an ideal client.
My mission is to support the next generation of heart-based women leaders with exceptional photography into the new millennia. Those who have a passion to serve others, whether they are 27 or 67. “

The Brand Photography Experience.
High-quality portrait photography that shows your essence and tells a brilliant story.
What does a brand photography experience include?
Gina’s goal for you is to set the stage that allows you to walk into a brand that your audience is going to absolutely love.
All photography branding packages begin by strategizing your brand prior to the day we photograph you. This includes defining all the key shots you need from your photoshoot. The plan includes telling the editorial stories you wish to share and market with.
The day of your photoshoot begins with you meeting our professional makeup and hair artist. Afterwhich, Gina will photograph you in all the scenes, scenarios, and wardrobe we’ve planned for your session. You will feel exhilarated and empowered during this process. You do not have to be a professional model. We guide you every step of the way, posing and lighting mastery, goofiness, and tripping over extension cords as well.
Your only preparation for this experience for the day is to be relaxed, open, and true to yourself.

“Gina is a true pro and knew how to capture the look I wanted for my new brand. I can hardly believe it’s me, I look that good! My friends and family say I look terrific AND like myself… She made sure everything turned out just right. Very happy.”
Polly Mertens, Get Busy Thriving
Absolutely fabulous. Life-altering experience… I was blown away at her expertise and professionalism… Gina worked through my brand messaging and also spent an entire day with me and provided an incredible amount of photography… Even though I am the CEO of my own company I don’t feel confident doing this type of marketing for myself. I appreciate her generosity and for putting me in a position that is going to make my business shine.
Angel Cotrell, Apollo Consultancy Group
Gina is more than just a photographer. She has created a process to learn about you, your brand, your audience, and your business goals. So, before, you get in front of the camera, she does her homework. During your session with her, she makes sure she is working to create images that reflect what your brand story is all about. Instead of being worried about your photo being taken, you actually relax and enjoy the process which results in the most AMAZING photos!
Liz Christoffersen, Empower Consulting
Gina Cinardo has over 25 years of experience and it shows. I had another fun-filled session with her today. Yes, I said fun-filled. For someone that never liked having their picture taken (me) because I didn’t think I was photogenic. Now I have the best time ever. Gina makes you look and feel like a million bucks!
