Being in Business means being online, and that looks different for everyone.

Do you have a business with an online presence or are you building an online business? They are two different beasts, and require a different amount of "showing up for your audience"

Here's a few ways I can help you tell your brand story online and show up in the best way possible:

📲Social Strategy Session : Helping your clarify the clutter and speak right to your ideal client at the right time

📸Head Shots: Whether in studio or the lifestyle variety, your professional headshot, or profile photo, is still first interaction a potential client has with your brand. You are the face of your company, so let's make it great.

📸Mini Sessions: Need a little taste of working with me? Minis are a perfect "starter" or "top up" package for new entrepreneurs who need to get up and running.

🎯Custom Brand Session: a carefully planned, strategic session that aligns with your goals, vision, brand story and ideal client. Session may include professional photography, short form video clips, promotional video or a combination of both.
🎥 Connect + Create: A once a month chance for you to "make time + get it done". Meet with other entrepreneurs, create video clips for reels, and optionally add a strategic planning 30 minute session with me.

💻 Need a group and guidance? Join my monthly membership and get the training you need to build a strong brand, connect with other entrepreneurs and stop worrying about making the time to create content! (I take care of the heavy lifting for you)

Which way are you going to utilize to show up as your best self in 2025?
Let's Connect and talk about it!

Bx - Business Reimagined

Well.. this brings back memories. I landed in St. Albert quite unexpectedly durnig 2020 and these are some of my first clients while I was busy setting up shop in the brand photography space, Huge shoutout to the community of St. Albert.. some of them have an imprint on my heart bigger than they will ever know,

While I work full time in the business photography space, I do have a few local family shoots available... because when clients ask if I can shoot their families as well, how can I say no?

Here's what's going on this year: It's that TIME of year! I'm now booking Fall mini sessions with a few dates and times. Limited Spots and Days for all Mini's so

Brand Photography is only ONE half of my business.

The other half is helping you become the CEO you were meant to be.

In working with business owners, I have come to learn that a lot of entrepreneurs need a little help with one, if not all of these three things:

🙋🏽‍♀️ Clarity- Do you understand your brand as well as you should? Is it conveyed properly to your clients with clear messaging, values, and visuals? Are your marketing efforts directed at your ideal client directly?

🙋🏽‍♀️ Confidence- A lot of women over 40 lack the confidence in themselves to show up online or in their tech skills to really put themselves in front of their audience the way they should. I help you overcome the roadblocks that stop. you from taking action in your business and moving towards real goals. I help you increase your personal confidence, confidence in other, and confidence in systems to help you grow in your business instead of staying stuck .

🙋🏽‍♀️ Content. Let's face it.. being in business means being online and whether you are a , 30,40, 50 or older woman in business you might be leaving money on the table if you don't have a social media action plan . and by plan, I mean actual social media strategy to meet some actual goals rather than just "have a presence" online.

Let me take these worries off your plate once and for all! II have a new program this fall that will help you work through the brand clarity, confidence and content creation so you can market like a pro!

I even have a "done for you " service" to remove a lot from your plate. Sound good? Let's Chat! Send me a dm or link above to get started !

Meeting with some amazing businesses today! Where will I see you next?

08/06/2024

With the last quarter of the year just around the corner, and many entrepreneurs are wondering what they can do to level up and finish the year strong.

👂🏻Can I tell you a little secret? Building tour own library of digital assets for your business ( 💭 think: all the RIGHT kind of photos, videos and graphics) is one of the biggest game-changing, up-levelling, client attracting actions you can take! Heres why:

📸 Brand clarity-viewers can tell what you do with even a quick glance to your feed!

📸 Helps the ‘ know, like, and trust’ factor! Showing images of YOU occasionally introduces new people to your feed, gets more engagement than other posts and encourages people to shop small/local/real people

3. Every time you need to make a post, email, newsletter or ad, you have relevant content at your fingertips. ( just like I do right now, using a clients( ) image as an example, while away from my office for the day.. easy peasy)

If you’re ready to hit the ground running in your last quarter, then book that info call with me to discuss how anything from a new headshot to a custom brand session ( think day in the life’ for your biz) can be beneficial to your business!

This lady right here knows how important it is to set your goals, work towards them and build your business! Right now she is in Florida cheering on our very own for game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

She also knew the value in creating an intentional library of images so that when the time came , she'd always have the perfect image to use to create engaging posts on her own feed.
As an entrepreneur, you can have the same thing by booking a custom brand session! Here's what you'll get:

A consultation to learn a bit more about your goals and plans.
A complete Social Media Power Hour where we deep dive into your business, and create social media strategies for you, based on your individual business and its upcoming goals and plans
A complete shot list and plan for the day including outfit suggestions, specially chosen locations and prop list
8 hours of shoot time which results in spot-on content (aka an incredible asset library) so that you reach your ideal client in all the places you use those photos: website, social media, print.. it is a game changer having the right images available.

What else? We can now add in b-roll clips and or professional video to any of our brand packages, so be sure to ask!

Ready to make this game-changing move? Book a discovery call today using my links above! :)
