Let’s catch up first. 🤗 I’ve been a bit quiet on here recently, but I can assure you that A LOT has been going on behind the scenes. 😜 I just finished up my very first round of Group Coaching for The Brand Academy & OMG was it a ton of work. 😬 However, every minute I spent working on it was completely worth it! 🤗🤩 As I was building out my course I realized I had created processes and resources to help others build their brands systematically, but I hadn’t gone through the entire process on my own. 🫣 Up until then my entire brand was living in my head 🧠, scattered across different notebooks 📓 and online platforms, but never in one place. So naturally, I started to work my way through the program too. 🤓 I also started a mastermind for brand photographers this month, and the first topic was branding. I was so happy to be presented with a different approach than my own because it gave me the opportunity to explore ideas I hadn’t before, and expand my brand in even more ways. ✨ So that’s where my brand promise comes in! It took me a couple of weeks and some revisions, but I am so excited for what I landed on. I just know that it’s going to help elevate my own brand that much more! 🪄✨ So now I want to know, what’s your brand promise? 🤔 Tell me below! #branding #hawaiibrandphotography #brandpromise" data-recalc-dims="1" />

Growing up, I always felt this spark and knew that I valued the uniqueness of the word. I lived for pink, sparkly, and girly things, but I also had another side that felt dark, edgy, and rebellious. 💖🖤 For most of my childhood, it was always a battle with my mom when choosing clothes, wanting a new hairstyle, hanging with new friends, etc. She was more interested in building an image that depicted the perfect picturesque family. When in fact, we were FAR from that. 🫤 Little did I know these battles would keep happening my entire life where I felt rejected and shamed for expressing myself. 😔 💔 In middle school, the coaches made snarky remarks because I didn’t fit the typical cheerleader stereotype and not making the high school team as a result. 💔 In my first job at a hair salon after cosmetology school, my boss was doing my hair after a shift and told me that I didn’t have the “image for pink hair” and then proceeded to dye most of my hair dark purple without my consent. 💔After my first child was born, I got so many dirty looks from other moms. I can only assume it was because of my hair and that I look younger than I am. So I gave in and tried to dull myself down because I was desperate to fit in somewhere. These situations were exhausting and, quite honestly, created a slew of identity crises for me, but they have shaped me into who I am today. 💖 When I started this business in late 2020 and started building my brand, I finally felt that my identity wasn’t built on a house of cards that could be blown over at any moment. 🏠🃏 I took the ✨unwavering pieces✨ of me that have always been there and found a way to create a space where I can unapologetically be myself. Nothing is standing in my way now. I’ve liberated myself AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! 🤗🥳 Despite the world pressuring us to blend in, we all deserve to stand out. 🤩 I’m dedicated to helping you bridge the gap between your present and future self so you can unleash your inner icon and confidently shine as the star you were always destined to be. 🌟 #brandstory #brandingcoach #hawaiibrandphotographer" data-recalc-dims="1" />

One of my favorite shots at each branding session

One of my favorite shots at each branding session is when we use the phone as a quick prop.
To me, these images encapsulate why I do what I do.

As small business owners, we have our phones in our hands 🤳 A LOT. We can basically run our business on the go with this one device. So it only feels natural to use it as a prop in branding sessions, and my favorite thing about it is that it feels so natural.

So it's the perfect way to break the ice if you're feeling a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera at the beginning of your session. 📱

It captures a moment that totally makes you look confident, handling your biz, and making money moves 🤑

When it comes to picking your photographer don’t just focus on price tags and packages, look deeper.

Think about what you desire out of your images and find someone who values the same things. Because in the end, finding someone who is willing to go the extra mile to get the images you desire to tell your whole story is worth their weight in gold.

I only have 3 sessions left for the month of March and would love for you to snag one! Head to the link in my bio to message me and secure yours today!
