🔥We’re kickin’ things up a notch this year! So many women I talk to do not feel aligned with their online brand. And when you don’t feel aligned, you won’t show up. YOUR BRAND GETS TO LITE YOU THE *F* UP🔥 👇Here’s all the things I can support you with through my brand coaching: 💫Crafting a gorgeous brand that people remember, fall in love with, and swipe their credit card for! 💫 Setting up automated (and pretty) client management systems that you love. 💫High ticket sales. Although you don’t have to work hard to sell after your rebrand 😚 💫Designing high ticket magnetic offers your audience actually wants to buy. 💫Organizing your schedule so you run your multiple six figure empire in 20-25 hours a week. I can help you put these pieces together and create something you are proud of that attracts your dream clients year after year! If that sounds like something you want, comment below with the word REBRAND (or DM me) and I’ll send you more information! 🤎 And if we have worked together before, will you comment below and share what your favorite part about working together was? 🙏

It’s probably obvious but the two things I’m MOST proud of are my babies & my business…(I guess that’s 3 👶🏽👦🏽📸)! The year that Cayden was born, I broke my glass ceiling and had my first multiple six figure year as a business owner. It was EXHILARATING. Not because of the money. But because I realized that if I CAN DO IT… I can TEACH other moms to do it too🤎 Lately I have felt a lot of mom-guilt for working more than my normal hours in my business. I’ve been having the fear that I’m going to look back and regret not spending more time with them. I find myself constantly rebalancing as a Mompreneur. Right when I have found a flow, it’s time to shift again. Another lesson. Another initiation. Another test. I was talking to some girlfriends about how I am obsessed with my work because I feel DEEP fulfillment from the impact I make with my business. As a photographer, every woman I serve is so special. I get to capture her in a way nobody else ever will. I get to witness her stepping into her confidence and power as a woman. A woman who is unstoppable. A woman who is multi-passionate. A woman who is embodied. And as a biz coach, I get to witness and guide women to fulfill their dreams and break through their own glass ceiling. The feeling is just unmatched. BUT….passion comes with a cost. And that’s what I’m navigating. Because I’m obsessed with my babies! Some days I’m LITERALLY being pulled in two directions as my 3 year old hangs on to my leg and won’t let me walk back in the office😂 As much as I love making impact, my family and my boys are my LEGACY. They are the real reason I do what I do. They are my everything. My business could disappear tomorrow and as long as I have my family, I know I will be good! So here I am. In a season of strengthening boundaries. A season of soul searching. A season of asking myself the hard questions. This is what being a woman looks like, for me, in this chapter. Happy International Women’s Day🤎 📸Thank you to @ariellelevyphoto for capturing an Era! 💄Makeup by @lindseymaureenjones 👗Styling by @krystenleighmay 👱🏼‍♀️Hair by @janessas.creations

Special thanks to our 2 models who posed for 5 photographers this past weekend at the Flourish Retreat in San Diego 🌴 It was important to me to have REAL business owners who were just as into the photos as we were! And I’m so grateful for these two… @brandedbybernel is a digital marketing agency for the stylish CEO, and an educator for designers! @laurenpaige.says is a performance coach for creatives who helps women reach their business goals without losing their soul in the process! 👏👏 If you love their sneak peek then you’ll LOVE your photos from my upcoming Brand Mini session day I’m hosting at this same gorgeous location by @sandiegohaven !

☀️It was such a joy capturing these incredible coaches at the Manifestation retreat led by @jamieberman_ ! Something that is always a fun challenge for me when doing a 10 minute mini session is helping clients feel confident on camera QUICKLY. 👉First off it’s totally normal to feel awkward on camera. I would say 95% of my clients feel that way in the beginning. 💫What I do activate my clients confidence quickly is: 1️⃣ Connect with them I love to find out what they do for their business and get them talking about THAT. This will naturally unlock passion and more energy for any entrepreneur. 2️⃣Posing and directing their every move! Silence kills confidence. As the photographer, I am always telling my clients exactly what to do in terms of posing, where to look, and what to do with their hands! Playing music helps too🎶 3️⃣ I keep the energy high and will be your personal hype woman all day long. On a mini photoshoot day like this one where there’s multiple women together, my job is easier because everyone hypes each other up! Otherwise, I always encourage my clients to bring a friend if they are feeling particularly anxious or nervous about the photoshoot. 👇If you’ve done a brand photoshoot before, how do you ease your nerves to capture authentic and magnetic photos?

🍹It’s #nationalmargaritaday ?! Say less… So you know, my favorite drink to indulge in is a margarita (in case we haven’t had one together YET) 😃 What’s your favorite margarita or a drink of choice? Let me know below👇 Something I absolutely love is hosting parties at our house and getting our friends and family all together. And often margaritas are a part of that! Ryan’s mom also loved margaritas and loved making them for her family so it’s even more special to me now as a way to celebrate and remember her. Looks like margaritas are mandatory today!
