I love it so much I even drink decaf. I also love film, chilly weather, Mexican coke, Harry Potter, crystals, and let's not forget, creating badass images for entrepreneurs who want to connect with their audiences on a deeper level. Like, a real connection, ya know? Whether you're a novelist or a chef, a yoga studio or a restaurant, we all crave real human connections with the brands we love and we can make it happen through the power of photography.
Pastry chef in France. Or goat farmer in Greece.
Chocolate. I know, I'm so g.d. basic. Who cares?
Anthropologie. *Sigh*
Bird whistling. Just call me Cinderella.
Mountains. I'm a trees & boots kinda gal.
Juice. Lizzo forever!
I got my photography start almost a quarter century ago when the only elective still open for incoming freshmen at my high school was Darkroom Photography. Yes, it was all film (digital cameras didn't even exist then!). I continued with it as a hobby while earning a degree in Theatre Studies, and still kept it up throughout law school. It was my escape from the daily stresses of life as a Big Law attorney and it soon became my ticket to freedom, i.e. entrepreneurship. After shooting primarily weddings, I felt called to work with my fellow entrepreneurs. So, I shot my first branding session in 2014 and I've been hooked ever since!
Let's say you spend 30 minutes each weekday coming up with something to share on social media, shooting a quick photo on your iPhone, then applying your fave preset and hitting 'Post'. That 30 minutes a day adds up to 40 HOURS every quarter!! But what if we could create all the photos you need for an entire quarter's worth of daily posts in just ONE photo session? Imagine actually having time to do the things you love most, with the people you love most, all while staying top-of-mind with your customers. Oh what a lovely world that would be. Let's make it happen!
Trust me on this one. Unless you are a professional model, you're probably not totally comfortable in front of the camera. In fact, I'll let you in on a little secret. Most *photographers* aren't even comfortable being photographed! But you know what? It's not your job to be comfortable in front of the lens. It's MY job to bring our your very best through direction, guidance, and choosing the most flattering light and locations possible to show off your personality and highlight your brand's values. With the right direction, everyone is photogenic. I got you, boo. :)
So what are they saying about you? Not quite sure? Together, we will create a set of images that clearly communicates your brand's story and values and connects with your audience in an authentic way. And we'll showcase all the awesome products and services you have to offer the world, too! A strong online presence with consistent and captivating visual content can elevate your brand, drive more traffic to your site, and literally transform your business and your life. So what are you waiting for? Let's get shooting!
As they say in those crime dramas, "Just the food, ma'am."
What? That's not how it goes? Oops. Well, these are JUST food shoots. No headshots or portraits, m'kay?
We'll go over a questionnaire to help nail down your brand’s identity and message, goals for the shoot, and strategize exactly how to maximize the images to best benefit your business. All packages include the final high-res images and commercial usage rights.
Need new headshots for yourself or your employees? My style is more "natural light portrait" than corporate-vibe headshots. I prefer to keep things simple so we'll most likely shoot outdoors (but not necessarily if there's good window light involved).
