LIFESTYLE BRANDING GOES BEYOND THE HEADSHOT

Your community wants to see MORE.

They want to connect with YOU.

They want to learn about WHO YOU ARE.

… and that’s what Lifestyle Branding is all about!

Lifestyle Branding goes beyond the traditional headshot, and illustrates the heart of your business.

It’s no secret that marketing has evolved from product-focused (buy!buy!buy!) to establishing a real and authentic connection with your audience. People want to know who is behind the products and services they are buying.

They want to know WHY you do what you do and WHAT it would look like for them. They want you to SHOW them, not tell them how great your business is … and that is what Lifestyle Branding provides.

  • True story … 99.99% of people feel awkward, “unphotogenic” and lost in front of the camera. Even the models I’ve worked with needed direction and validation that they were “doing it right.”

    You are not alone in feeling like a fish out of water in front of the camera! That’s why I take a “director approach” to my photoshoots.

    I look at the whole picture and every detail by leading you through your photoshoot; directing, instructing and posing your face, hands, body and wardrobe so you look like the best version of yourself!

    So, if you feel awkward in front of the camera, you are my FAVORITE type of person to work with, I can’t wait to show you how “photogenic” you actually are!

  • YES! I can and will travel to you!
