I can honestly say I do have a way with making people comfortable very quickly though, I learned it at a very young age when I moved around a lot and subsequently started a new school every year up until the age of 10. It was imperative that I befriended at least one person by lunchtime on the first day of school. So I’ve had a few years of practice with making friends fast.


BEING COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOOKING LIKE THE REAL YOU AND LOOKING LIKE THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT VERSION OF YOU.


Let’s capture the real you, yea?

 

it’s simple really..

I’m here to make you comfortable so that the world can see your true colors. Your real laugh, your true beauty, your lightning personality. Everything that makes up you, wrapped in the most amazing package ever.

I’m here to help you present yourself to your own potential clients and peers in the exact way you want to be seen. I learned a long time ago that your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. So learning to control your own narrative is of the utmost importance.

What do you want people to know about you? To believe about you? To feel about you? That’s what I help you uncover and that’s where I help you shine, like the star you were born to be.

I’m a brand queen, yes, but I’m an entrepreneur first.

and I know a thing or two about building a solid foundation and making a way out of no way.

I know you want to be the best at what you do. And you want others to recognize it.

your freedom is the most important thing to you.

and financial security? yea, a suuuuper close second.

You want to succeed. You want to make a name for yourself, outside of what it is you ‘do’

and you want to make ‘self-made’ an understatement.

From one dreamer to another, you got this.

 
 

CONNECTION. IT’S IMPORTANT. WHEN YOU HIRE me, YOU’RE HIRING a photographer, a coach, a cheerleader, & a business bestie all rolled up into one. the pressure! but also the responsibility. I am honored to take it all on.

I’m the person walking you through this whole creative process. IT’S me + YOU for a one-hour session or a 6-month strategy plan. connection is important no matter how short or long our time together will be. when you’re building your business & brand from the ground up, IT MAY SEEM LIKE YOU JUST need to HIRe A ‘picture taker’ or ‘life coach’ but I’m not just that. I CANT BE. NOT IF I WANT YOU TO truly succeed. I HAVE TO BE MORE THAN my linkedin job title, IT’S ONLY FAIR.

The Process

 

Schedule a Discovery Chat

You don’t have to fight after-work traffic to meet up with us, you don’t even have to dress up. We chat with our potential and official clients via phone or video so that you can be comfortable in your own home or workplace (and so that we can shamelessly catch a glimpse of your pets obvs). During our chat, we’ll talk about your creative business and brand needs, where you are currently and we’ll answer any booking questions you have prior to purchasing your session.

Prep for Your Photo Session

Our Session Prep Guide will set expectations for your photography session, so be sure to check it out when it hits your inbox. Schedule your Visual Brand Strategy call (if included with your session) to determine your visual brand goals, and how your new images will be used so that we can curate the perfect branding photography session for you. During our call we’ll make visual brand recommendations that we can incorporate into your branding session. After your strategy call, you’ll receive a mood board with wardrobe recommendations an official shot list and a pre-session task list so that you don’t forget anything in the days leading up to your session.

 “I AM DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO HATES HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN SO THE THOUGHT OF GOING THROUGH AN ENTIRE PHOTO SHOOT WAS NIGHTMARE INDUCING. KELLEY'S FUN AND LAID-BACK DEMEANOR MADE THE PROCESS SO PAINLESS AND MY PHOTOS ALWAYS LOOK AMAZING! SHE ALSO SLAYED MY BRAND WEBSITE! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HER AGAIN!”
