Is your personal brand more than your FACE?
Yes, it very much is. Your personal brand is known by your audience to be feelings, simple words, or even an emotion that waves over them instantly when they see your brand (logo, photos, video, elements of design, etc.)

Your brand is so experiential, almost 4D.

This is what I love about capturing personal brands: it's not just a headshot. It's an entire suite of images that will signal to the brain of your reader: "this is how to feel!"

If you are ready to elevate the marketing of your personal brand, one of the best ways to do this is hire a professional marketer. That is me. I'm a photographer with 15+ years of marketing strategy experience for small - medium sized brands.

And this collaboration with & Chanath W Interiors LLC is pictured here. These ladies are incredible to work with and have such a vision for what they do to serve their clients. I'd give them a follow!

My baby girl is turning 4 on Sunday! I cannot wait to celebrate and surround the house with all of these cute shots of her.

I took these in the studio yesterday and doing some fun mock-up's for our dining room display.

Can you imagine a small gallery wall (or simple 3-photo setup) in your main party area where you can change-out images when you host easily and to make a complete wall of decor that tells the story of your event?

I have a beautiful buffet by our dining table under where we put our cake and I love making that the central desert station. I am making a change to put more frames above it so I can decorate with each party we host- a little something conversational also when we sit down for dinner each night.

Photos deserve MORE than just being on your phone. They want to live in your space, be invited into your conversations, and it's your memories that exist to be RE-LIVED, not to die on a digital device.

Who's party is coming up that you want a fun photo shoot that serves as a decor to celebrate?!

This is why clients CHOOSE a photographer / marketer combo 🎁🎁🎁🎁

As a professional portrait and brand photographer for over 16 years, my advertising degree layers perfectly on top for the best package for small business owners with personal brands.

Starting next week, I’ll be diving in with more entrepreneurs and professionals to uplevel their vision and capture the person they believe they are growing into this year.

Brand Photos that stop the scroll is what we create while also forming hours of video content for social media promotion.

Supporting small business and the support of local commerce has always been my mission as a leader and entrepreneur.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to lead the Homer Glen + Lemont Chamber of Commerce this year as President.

There is so much about this role that will teach me, but also allow me to serve my community at such a level that I have yet to experience.

Years ago, I was a committee leader and ambassador of my local , which taught me so much and gave me years of friendship and neighbors to love on and grow with.

Returning back to my hometown almost 3 years ago, I’m ready to dive deeper into the ways I can serve my community and support the economy of our township.

Your team is the heart of your organization, and showcasing their faces builds trust, personality, and connection with your audience. 🌟

For nonprofits and organizations, cohesive, professional headshots can:

- Humanize your brand by putting a face to the mission.
- Improve ‘About Us’ pages, social media, and newsletters to build credibility.
- Elevate campaigns and outreach by sharing the people behind the impact.

We did this just on a simple on-site project with the whole team for the Great Books Foundation back in 2019. I loved working with this team of do-good book lovers who are passionate about creating programming for adults & children to foster connections to the real world formed from the stories in books.

✨ Ready to make your team featured, honored, and noticed? I capture modern, approachable headshots tailored to your brand’s unique style. Plus, I’ll help you strategize how to use them to increase your visibility and connect with supporters.

Your team works hard for your mission—let’s make sure they’re seen!
