The ICON Foto Experience

A high-impact editorial portrait experience for founders, leaders, and creatives whose work already carries weight.

The Icon Session exists to create signal clarity.

In moments where attention is fast and judgment is instant, perception arrives before explanation.
The Icon Session shapes that moment.

The outcome is presence.
Credibility.
Recognition without explanation.

This experience is designed for those who understand that how you are seen shapes how your work moves in the world.

A NOTE FROM DAUSS

I’ve spent most of my life watching how people are read before they speak.

In boardrooms, on stages, in quiet rooms with a single chair and a single light, I’ve seen how quickly conclusions are formed and how rarely they’re reconsidered. Presence lands fast. Signal arrives before story.

The people I work with already carry depth, responsibility, and lived authority. Their work holds weight. What’s often missing is not confidence or clarity, but a visual language strong enough to carry what they already are into the world without dilution.

The Icon Session exists for that moment.

It’s a focused, editorial process designed to translate internal authority into an external image with lasting strength. The work is shaped through precision, restraint, and intention, resulting in imagery that carries itself across rooms, platforms, and contexts.

When it’s done well, the image holds on its own.

That’s the work I care about.
That’s the work I’m here to do.

— Dauss


This experience is designed for people who understand the power of visual communication and take their professional presence seriously.

For those who see their personal brand as a long-term asset, not a trend or a posting strategy.

For leaders, founders, and creators who are ready to be seen with clarity, confidence, and intention.

You value quality. You understand investment. You recognize that how you show up visually shapes how your work is received.

The Icon Session is built for entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and creatives whose work already carries weight and deserves imagery that reflects it accurately and consistently.

I've worked with hundreds of thought leaders and entrepreneurs around the world, creating clarity, magnetism, and aligned success within their elevated rebrand.

MY MISSION

and approach to photography is about finding the heart of your uniqueness and creating visuals that illuminate your superpower.


This is an invitation to explore who you are becoming.

We use imagery to shape a future-facing presence that’s felt immediately. The goal is resonance. An image that holds attention, invites curiosity, and stays with the viewer long after they’ve moved on.

The work isn’t about capturing who you are in this exact moment, but articulating direction. Where your leadership is heading. What your work is growing into. The version of you that’s already taking form.

The process allows room for intuition, play, and creative range, guided by clear strategy and thoughtful direction. Space to experiment. Space to arrive.

The setting can be familiar or expansive. A place that grounds you, or a place that stretches you.

The location follows the vision.

A La Carte :

As every session is curated and unique to each person, production services are optional (securing locations, props, styling, etc. are not included in these sessions, but are available upon request for additional estimate). These elements will be developed through the creative call process. Most of the time, clients already have these things in their orbit but can also be procured.

STUDIO: Depending on shoot city, studio costs may be additional to take your shoot into a studio and get that type of imagery. Studio requires the rental of a studio space, special lighting equipment, and more assistance with the complicated equipment.

STYLE TEAM: Hair, Makeup and wardrobe styling is definitely recommended, however many clients chose to do their own.

*Location & Travel Details:

Since location is a big part of your story, we can decide which city or location best tells your story through the creative process. Typically I’ve found it best to do the shoot in your world, your location.

Packages are for Local shooting in Austin. New York City and Los Angeles bookings are considered local if Dauss has a trip already planned there. Travel costs for LA or New York will incur if you need your shoot done by a specific date. Any locations outside of those cities will incur travel expenses.

The minimum package for any travel shoots (outside of Austin) is The 5 look Package. For any travel shoots where the 5 look package is booked, an additional $1500 travel fee will apply as travel shoots typically add two extra days of travel time.


Bold. Authentic. Elevated. YOU!
