Cincinnati Business Portraits for Dr. Julia Navarro | Holistic Health in Cincinnati

I recently photographed business portraits for Dr. Julia Navarro, ND, a holistic mental health provider serving the greater Cincinnati area through both in-person and teletherapy appointments.

“I offer care that’s grounded in curiosity, connection, and a whole-person perspective. Together, we explore the patterns behind your symptoms, and use evidence based and natural therapies to create a plan that’s clear, personalized, and sustainable. ” – Dr.Julia Navarro

That philosophy shows up in the way she listens. During our session, as we chatted about my lingering post-pneumonia congestion, she didn’t rush past it. She asked thoughtful questions. She genuinely wanted to understand. and help. That’s exactly what you hope for when you’re searching for a holistic provider in Cincinnati — someone who sees more than symptoms. Someone who sees you.

For her Cincinnati business portrait session, we wanted imagery that felt both professional and approachable.

The white coat and stethoscope? Yes — because credibility matters.

But we also photographed her in a simple black top, relaxed and smiling. Sitting cross-legged. Laughing. Holding a dropper bottle mid-demonstration. The goal wasn’t to create a stiff “doctor profile.” It was to show the person behind the practice. Because small businesses aren’t built on logos. They’re built on trust.

As a Cincinnati brand photographer for small businesses, this is always the balance I’m looking for — authority and warmth, structure and ease. The real story lives somewhere in between.
