The best first step after receiving your new brand photos? Create an album on your phone with your favorites.

That way, they’re easy to find when you’re creating social content. 🙌

Prefer to create your content in Canva first? Make a folder there, too.

The easier it is to create content for your biz, the more likely you are to actually do it. 😉

Do you do this with your brand photos? Tell me in the comments.

My social media has definitely been on a “summer schedule” these past few months. 😎

As of today, my kids are back in school and I’m back to posting more regularly on social media.

Even though I’m not really that excited about it...yet.

While it can take time to adjust to new routines, once I have established one, I know I always benefit from the results.

So I’m starting easy this week. Not overthinking it, not setting any expectations.

My only plan is to post on school days and share what’s on my mind.

The goal is not short term results.
The goal is building a habit.

Because I know that habit will produce results in the long run.

Are you a solopreneur or small business owner who needed this reminder today?

Join me.

Let’s not overthink this together.

Dutch Bros is a VIBE. ✌️💙❤️😃

Did you know that on the eve of every new store opening they host a Culture Drop pep rally for their crew members and invite regional teams and even a few select super fans from across the country?

I had the honor of photographing it in Des Moines. 📸

The energy was high, the drinks were amazing, the dance floor was packed and no one ever stopped smiling, including me.

I love companies who invest as much in their team culture as they do in their customer experience. Because it all starts from within. ❤️

I could feel it at this event. And now I’m a fan for life.

Cheers to Iowa’s first Dutch Bros location, store number 1250, located at 1400 SE 14th Street, Des Moines.

Amy didn't wait until she had clients to start showing up as a legit business owner.

When Amy booked her personal branding photoshoot, she was still building her biz, The Elevated Workflow, a virtual assistance business specializing in social media and email content for fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands.

And she knew she wanted to look professional from Day 1.

As she put it, this wasn’t a side hustle she was hoping to make a few hundred dollars from. This was her new career—and she wanted her visuals to reflect that.

Amy wasn’t starting from scratch. She was bringing a decade of experience as a teacher, along with the skills she’d built over the years, into a new business.

She wanted potential clients to be able to see the person behind the business, connect with her and feel confident reaching out.

So we focused her one hour lifestyle headshots session on exactly that: photos that captured her personality, her style and her new profession.

She has since launched her business and is building her portfolio of dream clients.

My favorite part of her Google review?

She said the photos allowed her “true self to shine through.”

That’s exactly what I want personal branding photography to do. ✨

Your brand is more than a headshot.

One of my favorite parts of every brand photography session? Capturing the details.

From the tools you use every day to personal touches that make your business feel like YOU. ✨

Detail shots do more than round out your gallery—they capture attention, tell a deeper story + help your audience connect with your brand beyond your smiling face.

And if you’ve been putting off brand photos because you’re imagining 3 hours of smiling at the camera…don’t worry: we’ll focus on way more than that.

Your brand deserves visuals that tell the whole story.

I can’t wait to capture yours! 📸

Women supporting women—it’s what I love to do. And a huge part of why I started this business in the first place. 🫶

When Kim brought her team along for her second brand photoshoot for .vip.collective, it felt less like a work task and more like a women’s retreat.

So much laughter, so many hugs and the kind of energy that makes you immediately understand why their clients feel so supported.

The VIP Collective helps women heal their metabolism, balance hormones and create sustainable weight loss results through a restorative, nutrition-first approach that actually works with their bodies, not against them.

Our first photoshoot together focused on Kim as the founder—capturing her vision, her leadership and all the different facets of the business she’s built.

This time, it was all about including her team—fitness coaches, nutrition support, client success—the women helping clients feel seen, supported and successful every step of the way.

They were such an amazing group of women that by the end of the shoot, I wanted to join them! 😂

If you’re a woman looking for real support, real strategy and a team that truly cares, The VIP Collective is exactly that kind of place.

And if you’re looking for a photographer who brings that same kind of support to your business—that’s me.
