  • This service is for purpose-driven brands who understand that authentic visual storytelling creates meaningful connection. It's perfect for:

    • Wellness professionals (therapists, coaches, healers, nutritionists)

    • Creative entrepreneurs (artists, designers, photographers, writers)

    • Product-based businesses (sustainable fashion, artisanal goods, beauty brands)

    • Thought leaders (speakers, authors, workshop facilitators)

    • Digital creators (podcast hosts, course creators, YouTubers, bloggers)

    • Small business owners (boutique retailers, restaurants, local services)

    • Musicians and performers (bands, solo artists, dancers)

    • Consultants and service providers (business strategists, marketers, tech founders)

    These are brands who need high-quality, intentional imagery across their website, social media channels, email marketing, courses, and platforms to authentically showcase their unique story and create genuine connections with their audience.

    In a world saturated with generic stock photos and artificial intelligence-generated imagery, these brands understand that real connection requires real presence. When your audience can feel the authenticity radiating from your visuals, they're drawn to the genuine human behind the brand—and that's something AI images just ain't gonna cut it.

  • Um, nope. This type of session we keep our clothes on ;)

  • Prior to your shoot day, I'll work with you to develop a comprehensive visual direction. Ideally, I'd like to receive your brand book or create a collaborative mood board to fully understand your brand's visual language, color palette, and aesthetic values. This foundational work ensures every image we create authentically represents your brand identity.

    During our initial consultation, we'll plan your shoot extensively, discussing:

    • Optimal locations that reflect your brand story

    • Meaningful props that enhance your narrative

    • Any additional support needed (makeup artists, stylists, assistants)

    • Key messages and emotions you want to convey

    • Specific content needs across various platforms

    This thorough preparation is crucial—to represent your brand effectively, the more we plan in advance, the better the results.

    On shoot day, we'll methodically work through our agreed shot list, capturing all the planned content your brand needs. We'll also intentionally leave room for creative experimentation and spontaneous moments that often become the most compelling images. This balance of structure and flexibility allows us to create both the strategic content you need and the unexpected gems that make your brand stand out.

    Throughout the process, you'll be able to review images and provide feedback, ensuring we're capturing exactly what your brand needs to shine authentically across all platforms.

  • Sessions start at $800 for solo shoots, which begins with 60 minutes of shooting in one local location. The rate is $100 per additional person per hour. Final cost is determined by length of time, number of people, and number of locations.

    I can work with you to source and recommend stylists, hair and make up, and other people who can round out a great team if you need advisement.

  • Primarily in Sonoma County. Travel to Marin, San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland can be arranged with a travel fee. I am happy and willing to travel up to 2 hours.

  • Yes, for creative portraits, we factor in an editing style that matches your brand and you will be delivered a batch of 100 unedited images to select from. From those, you select 20 images to receive touch ups. Additional touch ups are $35 per image.

Your brand session begins with understanding your unique story. Let's connect on a complimentary call to explore your vision—whether you're launching something new, evolving your visual presence, or creating content that speaks directly to your people.
