She flew in from Texas with a dream and we all built it together. 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Melissa and I go back to 2020 when her beauty brand was just a baby and not the empire it is today, so watching her step into this new chapter with Becoming Her has been one of my favorite things.

Over two days in Charleston we did it all — brand photos, video content, BTS, and a full podcast production setup. Hair, makeup, a content creator on site…the whole experience.

She brought the fire, and we are all so happy to cheer her on in this new production!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The trailer for Becoming Her with .19 is live RIGHT NOW and I am so proud of this woman.

🎙️ She built a multimillion-dollar agency from her kitchen table to put underrepresented beauty brands on shelves at Sephora, Ulta, and Nordstrom. Now she has a podcast to match. 🎙️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Off the Shelf with is where beauty and feminism collide…

…and we get to produce it all right here at Shine Studio.

Susannah is one of those people who makes you want to work harder just by being in the room. Give her show a listen and see what I mean!

If it’s been a little quiet here… it’s because Sommer Media has been anything but behind the scenes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the last few months, my team and I have:
🎙️ Helped launch 4 new women-led podcasts
📸 Captured dozens of brand shoots
🎥 Covered women-driven events across Charleston (and beyond)
🇲🇽 🇮🇪 Traveled to Mexico and Ireland to tell women-led brand stories on a global scale (Dream come true!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(…All while working on a very special, brand-new somethin’-somethin’ 🤭)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From brand photography and video to podcast production, every project shares the same goal — helping women-led businesses show up with clarity, confidence, and visuals that convert.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re building a brand with something to say, we’ll help you say it... beautifully.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡 Now booking 2026 brand shoots, podcasts, and event coverage.

Let’s make your next chapter magnetic.

7 years ago today, I posted on a secret IG account because I was scared of what people would think if I tried (and failed) at building a business… again.

It started with a $200 camera, charging $125/hr, and no roadmap except grit (and God’s nudge to GO).

Since then, I’ve had the honor of serving hundreds of women-led brands locally, across the country, and internationally.

It’s grown into:
📸 Brand Photography
🎥 Video Production
🎙️ Podcast Production
✨ Shine Studio — my Charleston creative space .chs

The truth? I’m still blown away by what God can do when I step back and let Him move. His grace has carried me through every season of motherhood, business, and growth…

…and I’m forever grateful.

Thank you for being part of this story. Here’s to the next 7 🤍

Shine on,
Anna Laura

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This show is full of heart, honesty, and faith, and Kathryn’s story is such a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to step into the next chapter God has for you.

This summer has been a blur — between chasing toddlers, shooting & editing nonstop, and running/revamping Shine Studio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the heart of my work stays the same: capturing women-led brands stepping fully into their spotlight.
