This shoot was the second time I had photographed Erin, and for me, this shoot really clicked right from the beginning. We set out to create a set of headshots that felt both elevated and grounded, as well as true to the kind of work she does. As a career and executive coach, Erin holds […]

With branding photography, a big goal is clarity. It’s not just about who you are, but about what you do, and more importantly, what working with you actually looks like. Bella did this so well. From the beginning, she had a focus on creating images that would immediately answer the question of what it looks […]

I do 😊 While a lot of my work naturally leans toward women-founded brands, I photograph anyone who connects with my style and wants images that feel clean, intentional, and true to what they do. At the end of the day, great branding photos are all about how you show up, what you’re building, and […]

This session with Rebeca is such a strong example of how environment can elevate a branding shoot. Her home is absolutely stunning. I mean, the light, the texture, the architecture, the style, it all gave us a beautiful foundation to work with, but what makes these images so successful isn’t just the space, it’s how […]

This session with Arianna is such a perfect example of how much intentional choices matter. When she planned her shoot, she approached it as one complete visual story. The wardrobe and the space worked together, not separately. The warm tones of her outfit, the soft neutrals of the room, the natural light all came together […]

Anjola is a muralist that I was paired with as part of an Etsy initiative for small business development. We met up at one of Anjola’s own pieces in Phoenix and her work became the backdrop, the color palette, and the entire mood of the session. If you look at my work, you can tell […]

I met up with Polly at the Elm House in Gilbert Arizona to photographer her for her album design company. Horacio printing is a company that designs Christian dream planners for those with an artists soul. Something I really loved about this session was the well curated array of props Polly brought with her. I […]

Stefanie Gass is an online educator helping Christian women grow their audience and generate income with their online businesses. This shoot had a number of factors that went into making it successful. First, the estate was beautiful with great lighting, beautiful decor, and lots of different spaces to shoot in. Stef had not only arranged […]

I first met Chelsi Jo at a wedding. She was the planner and florist, and I was the photographer. While neither of us have weddings as our focus anymore, we still love making things beautiful, and for Chelsi Jo, that includes her, and your life. Her business focuses on providing systems to manage your kids, […]
