Some family stories are too powerful not to preserve.

For years, Vicky has traced the women who came before them, collecting their stories, their photographs, and the pieces of history that made their family who they are. Along the way, she discovered their family line traces all the way back to the women of Salem.

Women who were fierce, independent and wild-hearted. Women who traveled, took chances and refused to make themselves smaller.

So when Emily, Vicky, Denise and Genevieve stepped into our studio together, this became about so much more than a portrait.

It was three generations of women honoring where they came up, while creating something for the next generation to hold onto. A reminder for Genevieve that there is power in knowing your story. That she comes from strong women and being completely herself is something worth celebrating.

We are so honored that these portraits will live alongside all of the family photographs Vicky has treasured over the years, another chapter in the story of the wild-hearted women who came before, and the ones still becoming đŸ„°

There is something powerful about seeing yourself in a way that feels both elevated and familiar.

Not overly posed.
Not trying to become someone else.
Just you, reflected back with a little more intention.

That is one of our favorite parts of photographing business owners.

Sometimes the image someone ends up loving most is not the most formal headshot. It is the one where their personality comes through, the one that feels like how they actually want clients to experience them.

That is why we love creating a mix during headshot and branding sessions.

Professional. Approachable. Confident. Relaxed.

There's room for all of it.

Has this happened to you? 😂

So deep in the newborn sleep fog you genuinely forget how to be a functioning adult.

You’re having a completely normal conversation with another grown adult, except somewhere between the third sentence and the fourth yawn, your brain just leaves the chat.

You forget words you’ve known your entire life.

You start a sentence with confidence and somehow have absolutely no idea where it’s going.

Newborn sleep deprivation is a different level of fog.

You’re functioning. Technically.

But are you actually functioning? Absolutely not.

We just added this gown and floral headpiece to our studio closet, and we're looking for one woman to bring the vision to life this September.

This is for the woman who wants to see herself in a different way. Not just in a photograph, but in a finished piece of art that feels larger than life. This is the kind of piece you can look at everyday and be reminded that you were always worthy of taking up space on the wall.

Step into our vision, and let us create something beautiful surrounding YOU.

Nicole came back for her second session with us and this time, she decided to go a little more glam. Needless to say, we are obsessed 😍

But mostly, we're just so proud of her. It isn't always easy stepping in front of the camera and choosing to celebrate yourself. There's something really beautiful about deciding that you're worth it.

Nicole, you absolutely are. Thank you so much for trusting me with this epic vision.

If you could commission one portrait of yourself with absolutely no rules, how would it make you feel?

There's something really special about giving yourself permission to imagine beyond a traditional portrait.

You have the opportunity to create something with intention, a daily reminder on your wall. You can create something that feels larger, more expressive. Celebrate the parts of you that don't always get seen.

We love when a portrait starts with that kind of question.

Tell us; what would your masterpiece feel like? What would it remind you of?

What do you want people to feel when they see your business for the first time?

Confident in you?
Comfortable with you?
Curious about you?
Like they already know you a little?

Your headshots can communicate so much before you ever say a word.

A great headshot matters, but the strongest image does more than make you look professional. It help people understand who they are about to work with.

That is the part we love.

Creating together an image that represents you.

If your current photos no longer feeling like you, September headshot and personal branding sessions are open.

Not sure how to pose? Good news, you do not need to.

We hear some version of “I have no idea what to do in front of the camera” all the time.

That is exactly why we guide you through every part of the experience, from where to place your hands to the tiniest shifts in posture and expression. You are not expected to walk in knowing how to look “photogenic.” That is what we are here for.

Our job is to help you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely yourself, so when you see your portraits, they feel like you at your very best.

What makes you the most nervous about being photographed, posing, what to wear, or simply being in front of the camera?

how would you describe it?

Ripped open. Completely numb to the pain. Exhausted beyond words.

And then I looked at her.

Staring at the tiny person I had just spent nine months waiting to meet somehow made everything hurt a little less.

For those first few minutes, nothing else existed. Just her. Just us. Just the overwhelming realization that she was finally here.

It’s almost euphoric, the way birth can make you forget the pain for a moment.

She didn’t erase what my body had just been through. She just made it feel temporarily worth every second.

I wish I could bottle up those first few minutes and keep them forever. ♄

You've invested in the website.

The equipment. The education. The team. The systems. The new ideas. The things that worked, and probably a few things that didn't.

You've poured so much into building the business.

But sometimes investing in the woman behind it somehow keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

There is something powerful about finally seeing yourself the way your clients, your team, and the people who believe in what you're building already see you.

Confident. Capable. Established. Worthy of taking up a little more space.

Branding photos are absolutely a tool for your business, but we think they can be something for you, too.

And when you love the way you're showing up, you tend to want to show up a whole lot more.

We have a few September branding and headshot opportunities remaining. Message us BRANDING to learn more.
