Make your small company look like a big deal.
Stock photos aren’t good enough anymore. Photography communicates your brand personality and helps you to tell your brand story in an instant.
I help guide businesses through the whole process of getting unique marketing photos to better connect with their ideal audiences.
Whether I’m in my East Lansing photography studio or on site showing off a unique location, I know how to set lights, pose, and put business owners and teams at ease throughout the photoshoot.
It starts with understanding businesses and their ideal clients through a branding questionnaire, then it moves on to session design, the photo session itself, and finally, expertly edited digital images that make it easier to create fresh content – including websites, social media, email newsletters, speaker and press highlights, internal communication, printed materials, and more.
I have a background in advertising and public relations, working with brands like New Balance, Wrigley, Radio Flyer, Mini Cooper, Toyota, Kraft, Disney, and MillerCoors. I can help you create images that drive your brand forward without overcomplicating your life.
