CREATIVE BRAND CONSULTATION
Creating a brand aesthetic can be daunting task. You know what you like but aren’t sure how to create it for your product; you’ve got luxury taste with a thrift store budget. Don’t despair, for with a little hand-holding and direction, you, too, can create stunning visuals.
Over the last two decades I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of brands and individuals ranging from mom-and-pop start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. And regardless of the budget, the creative process always begins in the same way. You don’t need to break the bank for killer photos.
We’ll walk through what visuals you love and why, honing in on an aesthetic that you can reference again and again. You’ll walk away with a detailed plan on how to create theses photos on your own or with a crew of professionals. Think of it as one part creative direction and one part pre-production.

PORTFOLIO EDITING
It’s often hard for professional photographers to find the time to refresh their own portfolios. New work might get thrown onto social media while ye’ olde website collects cobwebs. Whether you’re in need of a portfolio refresh or are just starting out and want to make your grand entrance with a polished image library, this service will save you time and offer fresh eyes and seasoned industry experience.
Who is it for?
Photographers at every stage of their career. Maybe you’re just beginning to take on paid work and want to ensure that you are showing your best imagery, or perhaps your commercial business is booming and you just don’t have the time to do it yourself.
What is the process?
-(2) 1-Hour Virtual Meetups: in the first call we will establish your individual needs and desired direction and career goals. You’ll then transfer 500 of your best and favorite images via FTP to me. I will review, cull and organize into a cohesive portfolio based on the information we’ve gathered in the first conversation. During our second call 7-10 days later, we’ll review the edits and make a plan for consistent, easy portfolio refresh as you continue to create new imagery.
What’s the investment?
$500 includes (2) 1-hour meetings and portfolio curation. Plus, a reduced fee to check in again at the 3 and 6 months mark.
What you’ll walk away with:
-A curated portfolio that highlights your unique skills and talents and attracts more of the clientele you desire.
-Tips for organizing your portfolio for easy navigation.
