Visual Strategy

First, I look at your brand story and what makes you unique. Then, I translate that into a long-term visual content strategy to guide all of your marketing efforts.

FAQ

how can I get a proposal?

Simply reach out through our contact page with as many details as you have about your project: goals, strategy, desired date, etc.

Are there licensing fees associated with the cost?

Within the base price, clients have rights to perpetual use for their website, social media, and in-house marketing. If you’re interested in paid ad placements, we have many licensing options available whether it’s to license a single photo or the whole gallery. Price comes down to circulation, size, placement, etc.

What’s your favorite part about what you do?

I love supporting marketing teams to reach their long-term goals. It’s not just about the photography. Photography is most times the last item on our agenda when I’m walking a client through their visual strategy. Humanizing their brand and laying out a plan of action is what fuels my and my clients’ relationships.

I love authenticity and my goal is to represent you and your brand in its best light, always showing off your truth.

how would you describe your style?

I’m a lifestyle environmental photographer meaning I love to utilize my subject’s environment and setting to help tell the story. Pure white backdrops are great but I feel like it doesn’t always have the personality or dimension someone’s office, yard, or even a simple hallway can offer.

What sets you apart from other photographers?

I like to call it “photography without the fluff.” I love to be concise, direct, and action-oriented when I have a camera in my hands. You give me an hour? I’ll be done in 15 minutes. I’m flexible and adaptable to any environment or last-minute changes, always leaving ego at the door.

What are some of your core values?

My personal core values absolutely shine through my work. I have an overdeveloped sense of justice that guides me. Fairness is extremely important to me - so much so I will take a hit to reach that standard. I value diversity, inclusivity, and ethics. And most importantly, I value storytelling.
