The question I’m asking myself before every commer The question I’m asking myself before every commercial shoot is: would your dream client actually see themselves here?

Because if you’re marketing to busy moms, photographing women with their feet up in a luxury penthouse might not make much sense lol

That’s why I spend so much time thinking about the location, the people, the environment, and the little moments we’re creating. 

I want your ideal client to look at those photos and think… 

“I can see myself there.” 
“Those are my kind of people.” 
“That’s exactly the experience I’m looking for.”

My job is to help create a shoot that feels familiar, believable, and true to the people you want to serve.

So we can help your photos stop looking like “marketing materials” and start feeling like an honest, authentic invitation.

If you feel like your imagery needs a little help becoming that invitation, you know where to find meee!!!!
My birthday is just around the corner and I figure My birthday is just around the corner and I figured it was time for a little check-in on one of my favorite goals I set for myself this year.📚

This challenge has turned into more than just “reading more books”. 

It’s given me quiet moments in busy seasons, new perspectives, lots to think about, and tbh its reminded me how much I LOVEEE learning (i’m a deep dive girlie through and through!)

But now I’d love to know, what’s the best book you’ve read lately? 

I’m always looking for another one to add to the stack 🤍

One of my favorite things about commercial photogr One of my favorite things about commercial photography is helping businesses stop piecing their marketing together one random photo (or worse, one stock photo) at a time. 

That’s why my goal has never been to hand you a gallery and send you on your way. 

It’s to create imagery that helps your brand feel consistent, connected, and ready for whatever you’re building next. 

Because running a business is hard enough already!! 

Your photos should make life easier, not give you another thing to figure out. 🤍 

If you’re ready to have a system instead of a jumbled folder of photos to work with for your biz, send me a DM!
A few days away with incredible women, lots of lau A few days away with incredible women, lots of laughter, big dreams, and conversations that filled my cup in all the best ways = summer camp in Maine with @xo.sabrinagebhardt 

Honest moment…..as someone who has coached a lot of photographers over the years, I was skeptical about hiring a coach myself. But I came to @xo.sabrinagebhardt with a specific goal: switch systems, get real feedback, and stop spending hours on YouTube overthinking or learning new programs. What I didn’t expect was how much the community would be the thing that got me!!! 

The relationships I’ve built inside Root to Rise have been worth every bit of it. These are women who get it. The dreams, the mental load, the weird mix of excitement and fear that comes with doing something that actually matters to you.

If you’ve been on the fence about investing in yourself or your community this year, consider this your little nudge. 👇 join her next run of Root to Rise! DM for a coupon code or any questions! 

Also, 10/10 would recommend a little more whimsy and community in your business journey 🤍 

How are you adding whimsy and community to your life this week?
Your reputation is being built right now whether y Your reputation is being built right now whether you’re paying attention or not. 👀 And I cannot think of a better place to talk about it than the 2026 @thebwcorg Annual Forum on July 20. 

I’m co-leading a breakout session with the incredible @jkath_designbuild and we are diving into all things personal brand, social media, and building your rep in a digital world. How you show up online matters more than ever and this is the conversation that will change how you think about it. 

So excited to be part of this lineup alongside so many women I genuinely admire. Tickets are still available so if you’ve been on the fence, let this be your sign. ✨
