you
Welcome to the age of the personal brand, where showing up as your authentic self is the fastest way to a successful business.
Instagram influencers and TikTok stars make it clear that humanity still craves connection—even in this digital age—which means it's no longer viable to hide behind some beautiful graphics or strategically chosen typefaces. We wanna see YOU!
Luckily, I'm here to help. If planning a photoshoot for your website & socials gives you an existential crisis or leaves you feeling lost & confused, then Brand Photoshoot Art Direction was created for you. Let's get started.

so if you're feeling like...
You don’t have photos yet and don’t know where to start
Planning an entire creative vision for a brand photoshoot is not your forté
then this was made for you. ;)
let's clear something up.
You 100% do
this yourself. But...
could
If you're already working with me on brand or
website design, then I've already got a vision for
your site in my brain, with all the ideal shots &
image placements to go along with it.
And even if we're not working together on brand
or web design, working with an art director frees
up your brain from worrying about logistics to
focusing on looking & feeling your best. Not to
mention, it maximizes your time in front of the
camera, so you can get better (and more) shots
from the shoot you're investing in!

Copy with Spice
Copy with Spice is a freelance copywriting business specializing in—you guessed it—copy with spice.
When Alethea came to me, she expressed that she felt she felt her energy was in between two visual worlds; 1.) an earthy, grounded, boho type aesthetic and 2.) a more editorial, rebellious, high-end kinda vibe. Adding to that challenge, we both wanted the idea of spice to be represented literally in a way that didn't feel cheesey.

Jenna Pastuszek
Given Jenna’s high-contrast nature (her energy being both modern and old-timey, bold and kind, down-to-business and friendly) we felt a minimalistic neutral approach with pops of color here and there would communicate it best.
And from there, our color scheme was born; blacks, whites, and beiges to communicate “down-to-biz” with a touch of “old hollywood”, and pops of bright blues and greens to give it a sense of groundedness and approachability.

Icing on the Cake
At the helm of Icing on the Cake Bakery is Morgan Pahler, who knows enough about marketing to know that personal brands are where it's at.
Unlike most bakeries, Morgan wanted to put herself at the center of her brand. The only non-negotiable request? It MUST utilize purple!
I was stoked to help her plan a mouth-watering photoshoot that enticed her customers, showed the process, and centered Morgan.
