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.

Talking on camera feels unnatural — until it doesn’t. This is the advice I’m giving every client before we film 🎬

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. 📸
