With five years of experience in professional photography, Brayden Peterson has already built a notable career as the founder of BRASE Images. For her expertise in media and entertainment and specialization in photography and videography, Marquis Who’s Who has honored Peterson as a Top Industry Leader. As she grows her company and career, Peterson will always seek new opportunities.
During her adolescence, Peterson dedicated herself to athletics. Even today, she credits much of her success to this dedication, as well as the mindset she developed during that time. This mentality continues to drive her as she pursues continual growth and chases new opportunities, especially as she works to grow BRASE Images into a leading business.
A Background in Business Administration
Before beginning her professional career, Peterson pursued an education. She initially completed a bachelor’s degree in general business administration and management from the University of Sioux Falls in 2020, then earned a Master of Business Administration in organizational leadership from the institution in 2022. This foundational knowledge equipped Peterson for her future as a small business owner.
During her education, Peterson worked as an assistant manager with Year Round Brown Tanning Salons from 2017 to 2021. She also worked as a sales associate with Orangetheory Fitness, OTF Franchisor LLC in 2020. It was in 2020 that Peterson made the decision to co-found BRASE Images, leveraging a passion for photography and videography alongside her expertise in business administration.
Building BRASE Images
While she built her business, Peterson supported the endeavor by working as a marketing team member and photographer at The Mason Jar Boutique in 2021 and returning to Year Round Brown Tanning Salons as a salon manager from 2022 to 2023. By this point, however, Peterson had successfully grown BRASE Images into a self-sufficient operation and fully committed herself to the business.
Today, Peterson dedicates herself to administrative tasks and building a client base while editing photos and videos. Her passion for connecting with others is reflected in BRASE Images’ business model, which ensures that people feel seen before, during, and after a photo shoot. For this approach, as well as her expertise in photography and videography, Peterson has received much recognition.
Capturing the Moments That Matter
Peterson considers her greatest achievements to be the preservation of stories, which hold great significance for her clients and herself. For example, one client shared with Peterson that she had captured the last photo of their grandfather, a touching memory that speaks to the impact of her work with BRASE Images.
Moving forward, Peterson hopes to advance her business to greater success, impacting lives and capturing precious moments. In doing so, she aims to collaborate with larger brands to capture more stories while maintaining relationships with trusted partners and clients. As Peterson continues to build BRASE Images, she reflects a genuine passion for storytelling through photography.
