Business Spotlight: Jenn D’Amato Homes (CT Real Estate Agent)
BEHIND THE LENS WITh: Jenn D’Amato
REALTOR WITH REAL Brokerage
I first met Jenn more than 15 years ago, back when I was working as a mortgage originator… a past life of mine. When we recently reconnected for her branding session, it was a chance to slow down and really talk through her work, her values, and the direction she’s heading.
As I spent time getting to know Jenn’s brand, it became clear that she cares deeply about people. New Haven County focused, she’s thoughtful, compassionate, and a natural listener, with a calm confidence that comes from years of experience and a genuine love for what she does.
My goal for Jenn’s session was about capturing who she is. I think we created images that show her warmth, approachability, and outgoing presence, qualities that have clearly been at the heart of her work for more than two decades.
Behind The Lens: Crafting the Photoshoot
During our Zoom consultation, it became clear that Jenn wanted her images to feel authentic, approachable, and confident, nothing forced, nothing overly polished. The goal was to create photos that felt true to herself.
Knowing Jenn works with both first-time buyers and seasoned investors it was important to create images that would resonate with both types of client, photos that communicate trust, clarity, and professionalism without sacrificing warmth.
The final image collection feels aligned with her brand story and future vision ad we shared lots of laughter and fun throughout the process!
Day-In-the-life Photoshoot add-on
In addition to Jenn’s Branding Photography Session we also created authentic fly-on-the-wall documentary-style images for her social media! Here’s a small sampling of some of my favorites!
