“A great brand photo doesn’t just show what you do; it shows who you are.”

Captured on location in Chicago. Your environment might be the perfect fit for your shoot.

If your office, studio, or workspace tells its own story, let’s use it. I’d love to connect.

Jodi, 39:

“These are more than beautiful photographs to me. They captured a version of myself that I am incredibly proud of and reminded me just how powerful it can be to see yourself through a different lens.

She captured an entirely different side of me, strength, confidence, vulnerability, joy, and even a little bit of sass. I walked into this experience during a season of change in my life, and somehow Sharmila captured not just what I look like, but who I am becoming.”

This was Jodi’s experience. What will yours be?

Meet DeAnna Kell. 🖤

Owner of Elite Laser & Skin Spa in Lake in the Hills and Coco's Boutique in Downtown Crystal Lake. Locally owned, deeply rooted, built on honesty, passion, education, and giving back to the community.

Moments. Movements. Laughter. Stillness.

Fully guided and directed for who you actually are, the posing stops and something real shows up.

Building not one but two thriving local businesses takes a real kind of energy that's hard to imagine, but it showed in every frame.

Meet DeAnna Kell! 💫

Owner of Elite Laser and Skin Spa in Lake in the Hills and Coco’s Boutique in Downtown Crystal Lake! If you know DeAnna, you know she is always on the go, so I couldn’t be happier that she slowed down just a little to do this women’s empowerment photoshoot with me!

Every time I do this type of photoshoot, the experience is completely different from the last. DeAnna has such a fun spirit, just see for yourself!

Moments. Movements. Laughter. Stillness.

Building not one but two thriving local businesses takes a real kind of energy that’s hard to imagine, and it showed in every single frame.
