You’re a sensitive and creative entrepreneur wearing countless hats– CEO, accountant, sales, marketer, etc, etc, etc
Not to mention you also strive to be a good partner, friend, artist, human!
You’re navigating the unpredictable waters of social media, longing to escape the noise and get back to your meaningful work.
Prioritizes hustle over sustainable entrepreneurship
Celebrates loud voices over soulful voices, and
Rewards conformity over originality,
You’ve exhausted your eyeballs spending hours scrolling through stock photos (so. many. stock. photos.), only to end up with generic, soulless, forgettable images
You’ve called in countless favors of friends with nice cameras that leave you with loads of cute headshots that aren’t actually useful in your marketing
You’ve tried to go DIY, battling against tripods and self-timers, and have lost the little patience, motivation, and creativity you had left
With over 10 years of experience (including years specializing in boudoir photography, which taught me so much about creating comfortable and empowering on-camera experiences), I help one-of-a-kind businesses like yours ditch the tired clichés and craft visuals that truly reflect their soul.
My own journey as a creative entrepreneur (and a JMU film grad – Go Dukes!) taught me the power of authentic storytelling and the importance of pre-production for a successful shoot. As the granddaughter of two dedicated entrepreneurs, small business is in my blood. And as the daughter of immigrants, I have a deep appreciation for the importance of identity and cultural nuances in your brand’s story.
I get the hustle, the joy, and the occasional (or constant lol 😅) overwhelm of being a creative business owner. I’ve been where you are, and I can show you a new way to find ease and joy.
Here, you don’t need to shrink to fit into a box–you can expand into your purpose and take up space.
Here, you don’t need to be the center of attention to be seen–you just need to be authentically you.
And here, you are never alone.
