A few years ago, if you had told me I would completely rebrand my business, I probably would’ve laughed.
I had already spent years building a name for myself in the photography world. People knew me for birth photography, newborns, motherhood, family storytelling. It was emotional work, meaningful work… but eventually I started feeling pulled in a different direction creatively.
The problem was, I didn’t just need a new logo. I needed clarity. I needed to figure out:
What I actually wanted to create.
Who I wanted to work with.
What made my work different.
How I wanted people to feel when they landed on my website or stepped in front of my camera.
During the pandemic when everything stopped, I worked remotely as a Creative Director at a branding agency, helping businesses shape their identity and communicate their value clearly. And over the recent years working with many local entrepreneurs with their brand imagery, I realized something important…
Most small business owners aren’t lacking passion. They’re lacking support, direction, and space to think clearly.
So while rebuilding my own business, I started organizing the things that genuinely helped:
the questions,
the systems,
the strategy,
the foundational steps people often skip because they feel overwhelmed.
That eventually turned into this:
The Business Launch Checklist.
A free guide for people building something from scratch, or rebuilding something that no longer feels aligned. Honestly, it’s even useful for businesses that are already up and running but need to pause and ask:
“Did I miss anything important along the way?”
This is not a “get rich quick” business guide. Not loud marketing advice. Just a thoughtful, easy, step-by-step checklist from someone who understands how messy the process can feel.
If you’ve been sitting on an idea, trying to pivot, or dreaming about creating something of your own, this is for you.
