Professional headshots, personal branding images, and portraits are the studio specialties.  

🔹Personal Branding - When you need to revamp your website or you need varied visual content for social media personal branding is what you need. A personal branding session features a collection of professional images designed to highlight the one thing a competitor can’t copy....you. Don’t think this session needs to be all about blazers, suits and ties. If you make candles in overalls, or rock a beekeepers suit, these are components of your brand and they should be captured. 

🔹Headshots - Sometimes a headshot is all you need. Whether it’s an email signature or a profile image we’ve got you covered. We don’t oversimplify this aspect of our work however. The right head position, expression, and lighting pattern can take a headshot from ok to...oookaaaay! 
*Most clients get board with their headshot after about 3 months so we recommend 2 images so that you don’t have to resort to swapping out your professional image with a selfie for variety.

🔹Portrait - We use words like legacy, timeless, and archival to describe the portraits we create for our clients. Feel what it’s like to be treated like a celebrity for a day. We partner with some of the best professional hair and makeup artists in the city to make you look and feel amazing while in front of the camera. You can also take advantage of our ever growing studio wardrobe if you care to glam up your photoshoot a bit!

Photographer - Owner

I help entrepreneurs and small businesses owners show the best version of themselves through a curated photo experience. My mission is to work with professionals and aid them in their efforts to step confidently and enthusiastically into their own power and be the face of their brands. 

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬

As a headshot photographer, I understand the importance of creating a powerful image that communicates your professionalism and personality. Whether you need a headshot for your website, email signature, or social media profile, I will work with you to create an image that represents you at your best.
I take a unique approach to headshots, ensuring that the right head position, expression, and lighting pattern are used to take your headshot from "ok" to "oookaaaay!" And because most clients get bored with their headshot after about 3 months, I recommend getting at least two images so that you can switch them out for variety.

Personal branding is about highlighting the unique qualities that set you apart from your competitors. During a personal branding session, I will work with you to capture a collection of professional images that showcase the real you.
Whether you're a boutique owner, a bee keeper or a CEO of a large firm, personal branding images are essential for building trust and credibility. They are also great for revamping your website or creating varied visual content for social media.
I believe that personal branding images should capture the essence of your brand, whether it's a formal blazer or a beekeeper's suit. And, I work with some of the best hair and makeup artists in the city to ensure you look and feel your best during your photoshoot.

Senior Marketing Coordinator

You haven't seen me on TV, but maybe you've heard my words there or on the radio, or driven by a billboard or received a postcard that I wrote. If so, I hope I made you laugh, take notice, take action - because that's my job. 

Since 2005, I've worked as a copywriter in Cincinnati, and ever since my life's been just  like Madmen - without the cigarettes and skinny ties. 

Okay, I don't get AMC, but I do possess an ambidextrous mind. I can write and work from both sides the brain. From developing responses to RFPs that grab the attention of major players to writing silly greeting cards to managing the marketing of an international retail design conference, my work reflects my versatility.

I'm an intuitive listener. Resourceful problem solver. An imaginative daydreamer that delivers very real solutions.
