Many times in the initial conversations about photographs for your business, I hear, “Well, I don’t really even know where to begin.” Whether you’re launching a website from scratch or refreshing your tired marketing content and updating your business’ online aesthetic, it can be overwhelming. 

And, honestly, that’s why you hire me: for my creative vision and ideas. When I visit your office or peruse your website or hear about what your business offers, I have ideas. 

With my diverse experience as a portrait, product, interior and event photographer, I’m able to capture all of your photography needs– often in just a couple of hours. 

Check out this session from the fine friends at Rogue Architects located in downtown Fort Worth. They needed a few updated headshots and some photographs of recent downtown projects. They confessed they were using stock images in some cases, and what my clients tell me (and what I experience as a consumer) is that stock photography causes engagement to plummet. Potential clients want to see who’s behind the brand, and photographs that are authentic to you and your business culture help achieve that. 

If you’d like to discuss how photography could elevate your business presence, you can set up a phone consultation HERE or send me an email HERE. Every job is a bit different, and I can work with you, your marketing team and within your budget. 

I’ve specialized in branding photography for female entrepreneurs for the past few years. It is work I absolutely enjoy. I love to bring an artful aesthetic to their business offerings. Especially for yoga. Yoga is an art. I suppose teaching in general, is. One of the things I’ve realized is that for branding through the years is that we generally need photographs that tell a story, which may or may not include our face. With my friend, Lauren Wessinger, who has an online yoga app where she teaches yoga and meditation virtually, she needs photographs for her classes. While I love her face and would be content to shoot a couple rolls of portraits of her face, what she needs are more artistic details that create the narrative for her classes. 

I wasn’t sure that I could top our previous photo session, which I felt was absolutely some of my best work to date. You can reminisce about it HERE. She has helped me become proficient in film double exposures. But, I love this set. I carried on with a few double exposures. Her branding photos air on the neutral side, but with this session we incorporated some color inspired by the season and nature’s earth and water elements. Yoga and meditation continue to be an important part of my creative process, and I enjoy practicing with her on her app. Her teachings help me feel quieter inside, and I hope that’s what these photos achieve, too. If you’re interested in an in-studio branding session, send me an email via the contact form, or you can book directly HERE.  

I took a class this morning at The Studio Yoga on South Jennings in the Near Southside. My client and friend Loren Boyd opened this studio this past summer, and I love how she’s beautified the space and built a strong brand. In addition to teaching yoga, she designs logos and websites, so it’s always exciting to collaborate with her and see how she incorporates the photos I create into her online presence. 

And, well, the yoga is incredible. Over the past year, I generally stretch on the floor in my living room because I spend my days hovered over a computer or with a camera in my hand. What was incredible? I mean, first of all, I didn’t get up to do a load of laundry in the middle of my practice. Also, there were no dogs and children playing underneath me in plank. 

My son frequently says, “Mum, you do yoga with me?” And, it feels like a dream come true. One, to have a son. Two, to have a son who asks me to do yoga. But, then, get this: after I begin practicing with him (he likes Cosmic Kids Yoga), he says, “Mum, you’re doing it all wrong!” 

Doesn’t he know who I think I am?! I taught yoga from 2011 to 2018, here in Fort Worth, when about six inches between mats was the norm. Sometimes in the evenings when people would be streaming in the door, I would joke “Two to a mat!” I think we’re all missing our community. The room at The Studio is socially distanced, unlike the days of old. And, there’s always a mix of women and men, younger and older folks. The yoga is hot and can be hard, but the teachers invite you to do what you like. As I used to say, “If you like, just skip it.” As a person with a part-time trauma therapy practice, I appreciate the ways in which  the yoga community continues to become more sensitive to trauma. 

After practicing Cosmic Kids Yoga for the past pandemic year, a class inside a studio was a dream. If you’re looking for a place to practice yoga or a space to rent for a yoga photoshoot, check out The Studio.
