Let me be clear, expanding your personal brand does NOT mean putting your whole life on the internet.

If you want to keep your family safe from trolls and make sure your love life stays loving feel free to keep them out of your feed.

Building a personal brand with intention is the name of this game. Consider what you want the world to know and why you want your super fans to fall in love with you.

Lead with your passion, intrigue and sprinkles of magic and you can’t go wrong!!

Most leaders are terrified to admit they want attention because they’ve been sold a lie that “polite consistency” is the same thing as authority.
It’s not.

If you have a multi-six figure vision but your content looks like a safe, generic placeholder, you aren’t just being humble.
You’re being invisible.

This Friday, June 19th, we are opening the studio in Denver for Beyond the Brand event.

Come create ready to post B-roll with your newest biz bestie.
A room full of high-vibe founders who aren’t afraid of being seen. Or maybe they are but they are doing it anyway!!

Plus, Ali Montoya is sharing her wisdom on creating a solid visual brand identity that you can infuse to your entire online presence.

We have a few spots left. Stop hiding. Join us to create, connect, and show up!

My number one pro tip and the thing I have to remind ALL clients is
Remember to BREATHE.

We all forget when that giant lens is aimed at our face, seeing our soul.

So trust me when I suggest, this is the core reminder to show up with your full capacity of self and be able to express with what you’re really here for.

Being photographed can be simple and might I say, FUN! It’s my passion and purpose to help you show up with all your damn magic.

So when you’re ready to be seen and have vibrant images that radiate your essence, let’s PLAY!

DM LFG to set up your next photoshoot!!

Most business owners are trying to build their brand in total isolation, guessing at their voice and hoping their selfies look professional.

Beyond the Brand is your opportunity to create in community and get content ideas,

On June 19th in Denver, we are bringing that community into one room with professional direction, premium studio backdrops with tons of variety and a room full of visionaries who are doing the same!

To take it to the next level, the brilliant Ali Montoya ✸ Business Mentor of Amari Creative ✸ Brand Studio is hosting her “Brandstorm” workshop. She is taking us behind the scenes of her three-step process to help you discover your brand vision, define your magnetic voice, and design striking visuals with proper systems. So much value!! 🙌

Denver. June 19th.

The room is intentionally intimate to give each leader time to create something you can post and share right away!
Comment “BTB” and I’ll send you the link to claim your spot.

It’s a 30 day challenge and the challenges abound!! Yesterday was all about trying new things and got to the end of the day and crashed.
Hard.
My goal is to stay dedicated to showing up on video and sharing all the lessons.

Notes: if you know it’s going to be a busy and exhausting day, record earlier and block the time. I’ve yet to get into batching content as my goal is to work the muscle but obviously that is an option as well!

Try new things, even and especially if they are hard!

Your audience shouldn’t have to fight your background noise to hear your perspective. It’s easy when you’re in the moment to not pay attention to the other details in frame with you.

I’m filming this in my living room because a controlled environment is the fastest way to elevate your brand’s perceived value. When the frame is clean, your message is undeniable.
Spontaneity is great and highly encouraged but please don’t use it as as an excuse for sloppy ex*****on. You can be raw, unscripted, and still operate at a premium standard.

day 7.
Command the frame.

Keep coming back as I keep showing up. New offers coming your way!

I’m seeing a shift in the branding world.
The art of lifestyle photography is dead. The shift is coming into something much more dynamic, something much more diverse,

Something more real, raw, unadulterated, and who gives a f**k about you sitting with your laptop?

It’s time for the identity shift.

It’s here, y’all, and the collective is listening.
The vibration is coming.
The earth continues to move, and those who are listening are feeling the call and documenting appropriately.

Your lifestyle brand will not be big enough in the next era. It’s time to claim who you really are.

Not who you thought you should be, not who you think you can be.
It’s time to own the identity of the now.

And here is your permission slip.

You do not need to be just one thing. You are a multifaceted human. And each part of you has permission to be seen.

The dirty,
the loud,
the aggressive,
the soft,
the sad,
The revolutionary,
The psychic, the witch,
….Fill in your blanks here…

She’s here with her full stance in who she is, and she’s ready to be seen.

You are the one that gives her the mirror.
You are the one that gets to claim all of these characters within you and give her the stage in full, authentic, raw essence.

You are the one.

And you can’t do YOU wrong.
So let’s f**king go!!

Here’s the truth.
People make decisions in seconds.

Before they read your bio.
Before they watch your video.
Before they hear your brilliant ideas.

They’ve already made assumptions.

The question isn’t whether people are judging your brand.

The question is are you’re intentionally shaping what they see?

Your photos are either building trust or creating doubt.

The right image opens doors.
The wrong one wastes time and makes potential ideal clients scroll past.

The easy fix to this problem is to hire me! ✨
We dive into your story, message, and what you want to be known for. Create images infused with your magic and personality. And define your online persona with the identity that you are moving into. All while having fun!! 🤩

DM me LFG and we will get your creativity call on the calendar.
