A couple of weeks ago I spent the day photographing at the Dakota Childrens Advocacy Center

Once or twice a year I pick a nonprofit that’s close to my heart and create marketing visuals to help them be more visible online. This year it was them.

The work they do is hard. They give kids and families a safe place to be heard and supported during some of the hardest moments of their lives. And they’ve built a space where kids actually feel taken care of. You can feel it the second you walk in.

That’s what I wanted these photos to show.
If you’re a therapist, a nonprofit, or any service-based business, you’ve worked so hard to create a space where your clients feel seen and cared for. Most of the time that never makes it into your marketing though.
It’s all logos, headshots and text.

The thing that speaks to your future clients is seeing what it’s actually like to be with you. You working with people. The atmosphere you created. That’s what helps someone picture themselves in your space and in your care.

Let me help you show people what it feels like to be around you and work with you.

Moving sucks. Moving your business to another state sucks even more.

Three months in Bismarck and I’ll be honest, this move showed me some parts of my business were actually working against me. So I’m humbled. Really humbled. And I’m using it to rebuild what I actually want this business to look like.

One thing that’s staying: at least once a year, I pick a nonprofit to help with their marketing visuals. Before photography I was a therapist at a community mental health center in South Dakota, so this one’s personal. Every mental health professional, every advocate doing the hard stuff, is so dear to my heart.

This time it’s Dakota Childrens Advocacy Center Dakota Children’s Advocacy Center. They give kids who’ve experienced abuse and trauma a safe place to heal, feel supported, and move forward. Important work. Incredibly hard work.

They’re getting a new website, so we spent the day on headshots, team photos, and behind-the-scenes moments.

I might have left my therapy role, but I never left the people doing this work. Different chair, same heart. Sneak peeks coming soon, stay tuned.

True storytelling doesn’t start with a headshot. It starts with being curious about your story.

Moo Eh Tuttle is the voice and the taste of her culture. She created a home away from home through food, and inviting people in through that food is what made her so successful in a small town in South Dakota. She opened Mercy Thai in Huron a few years ago, and just this year opened a second location in Mitchell. And she has never looked back.

So before I ever picked up the camera, I learned her story. We built every location around her culture and her heritage. We shot at the Asian market, at a garden, used traditional hand made Karen clothing pieces made locally by Sofii Sammy even the jewelry was carefully picked (Asian gold). Every detail was picked out on purpose.

Just like Moo’s food, I like to spice things up. So I planned the session with the intention of it being unique, no copy-paste poses (Your images with me will never look like anyone else’s, because your story isn’t anyone else’s).

Moo is my dear friend, and it was extremely important to me to show her in the light she deserves to be seen in. One of the kindest and most hardworking women I have ever met. Safe to say this was one of the most meaningful storytelling sessions I have ever done.

Thank you for allowing me to tell your story, Moo.
If you want your story told like this, my DMs are open.
