Like many artists, I see unlimited potential to transform the human experience. Beauty, design & creativity are a part of my soul. Let's daydream about locations, style, props and get truly inspired by who you are. Everyone has an inner-creator, and I can't wait to discover yours through my lens.
This is a full-on team effort. I want to no only support your vision but establish a heartfelt connection that we can continue long after our session. I'll listen to your desires and make thoughtful suggestions to fit your brand.
I love throwing ideas on the table to create a unique experience catered to you.
You belong to this community now. Beyond our time together, whether this is your only time or you come back for a brand refresh, I'll continue to show up and share my quirky ideas and make sure you get the most value from your session.
Oh, and I'll even let you know where to find the best pizza in town.
DISCOVERY
We'll hop on a call to get things rolling. This is our chance to talk over your vision, mood boards and your goals for the session. We'll get to know each other to see if we're a good fit.
BOOKING
You'll receive a follow-up email with your Custom Proposal. There isn't a one size fits all when it comes to brand pricing so you'll receive a proposal that caters to you! Sign the Contract and pay 50% Retainer fee and we're golden!
PLANNING
From here, I'll send you my availability (and do my best to coordinate with your preferred dates), location suggestions and guides on what to expect. You'll receive a Style Guide customized specifically to you and your brand creating the roadmap for our session.
SESSION
It's photo day! We'll meet at the designated location, with a copy of the Style Guide and get started (after some brief intros). Priority shots will be taken care of during the first part of the session which will leave time for us to play and get creative!
DELIVERY
Your gallery will consist of Proofs that you are able to make the final selections on what will get edited. This gives you full control on your final images that will be edited (option to purchase additional files).
PARTNERSHIP
We're not done yet! I continue to share tips and strategies with you along the way as your partner in content creation and not just someone that clicks a button. We'll take your brand visuals beyond just a new profile pic!
AVERAGE INVESTMENT | $1000+
Branding sessions are as unique as the business themselves. Small business owners, influencers, content creators or sellers need a curated library of images and video to use for content and marketing. With each business needs different from the rest, we will start with a base price and build on with your specific needs.
Typical Sessions include
⟡ Discovery Call
⟡ at least 2 hours in front of camera
⟡ 30+ High Resolution Images
⟡ 1:1 Pre-production call + Vibe Guide
⟡ 2+ Locations, 3 or more looks
⟡ Location scouting, talent casting & prop sourcing
⟡ Online Proofing Gallery to select your images with 3-4 week turnaround
⟡ Digital Commercial Use License
This is your branding. I edit your images true to color over the entire image. I also remove any distractions like light switches, flyaway hairs/skin imperfections or logos that aren't related to your brand. I want to make you look as natural as possible and allow your images to be adjusted to your specific brand style of editing.
Ah, this is a very common feeling. I like spending the first couple of minutes chatting, hearing about your life & stories and getting settled. I typically start with simple shots to get your jitters out and then it’s creative time. If we get stuck, I have a handy little app that I customize inspiration for each session.
Your Style Guide will walk you through wardrobe suggestions and details on your location. If you need help laying out your own personal space if we decide to shoot in your home, I'll provide easy tips to prepare your space.
Branding sessions include an unlimited Digital Use License. This is for digital use only meaning social media, websites, blog posts, etc. To use images in print or publications, you'll need to obtain a Print Use License, this cost is estimated based on your end use and image quantities.
YAS! I am so thrilled! Schedule your call below to make sure we are a good fit and get started on your custom package!

Honest update: it didn`t book.
I spent time and energy building out Brand Mini Sessions — the proposal, the workflow, the launch email, the reel. I was genuinely excited about it. And then I launched it and... quiet.
That kind of quiet has a way of making you question everything. Timing? Offering?
But I`ve been sitting with something lately: a thing not working on the first try isn`t the same as a thing not working. It just means something needs to shift.
So I pivoted.
Instead of one fixed date, I`m opening up a few flexible studio days this summer — just 2 spots each. Same photos, same video clip, same intention. Just built around your schedule instead of mine.
1 hour at NoDo Studios (@nodostudiomn - seriously check them out, they even have a dock on the lake that we can use!) in Chaska. Edited photos + a short video clip. $400, with a discount for the first spot on each month.
Dates are open now starting first week of July — if you`re interested, drop a comment or send me a DM so I know who to reach out to first.
I`m sharing this because I think we don`t talk enough about the in-between parts of building something — the drafts, the pivots, the quiet. This is mine.

Brand mini sessions are officially open — and there are only a few spots. ✦
30-45 minutes in studio. You leave with edited brand photos and a short video clip ready to use. That`s a month of content in under an hour.
These are for the brands and entrepreneurs who`ve been putting off updating content because a full shoot feels like too much. This isn`t too much.
$350 · 3-4 spots · June 5th at NoDo Studios in Chaska
Link in bio to book.
And the first two bookings can use EARLYBIRD at checkout to get $50 off!
Thanks to @sydneebickett for the great portraits during her mini sessions!

Nobody told you what to do with the mug. So you just... held it.
And now you`re stiff and the photo looks like a stock image and you`re wondering why brand shoots feel awkward.
Here`s the fix:
→ Hold it close, not out
→ Gentle hands, like it`s actually more delicate
→ Look at it. Look away. Pretend to sip. Move.
→ Stop performing the mug and just use it
Props work when they give you something natural to do — not when they become the whole focus.
I walk every client through this on shoot day, which is one of the reasons brand minis work so well even if you`ve never felt comfortable in front of a camera.
June 5th · Limited spots · 30 min studio session · photos + video
Link in bio to book — first two spots are $299 with code EARLYBIRD.

CAPTION
Talking on camera feels unnatural — until it doesn’t. This is the advice I’m giving every client before we film 🎬
#elevateyourbrand #videocontent #brandvideographer #sustainablebusiness #photographytips
Some of the best decisions I’ve made in this business were about what to stop doing. Slower shoots. Less overly processed images. Fewer — but better — clients. This is what that looks like in practice. 📸
