These days I photograph a lot of personal brand shoots for Santa Barbara, Ventura and the Greater Los Angeles area. I tend to work with powerful women entrepreneurs who are building successful businesses-- typically in the health & wellness industries (though not exclusive to that).Personal Branding can mean many things. I have created social media content for some clients, but for most of my clients I am creating a suite of clean, personality filled images for their website, social media profiles, marketing graphics, and PR media kits.Dani was no different. Dani owned a successful gym here in Santa Barbara and has made the leap into life coaching (a profession I work with a lot). Our goal was to create a few key images for her website (like the header slider, about section, etc) that could be repurposed for social media and other marketing needs! I am so pleased to say Dani was thrilled with her results and I can't wait to see how everything comes together on her final website!

Last year, in the midst of morning sickness a pregnancy, I shot this fabulous mother daughter glamour shoot but never got around to sharing it! So I thought better late than never right?!I love the story behind this shoot. I donated a $500 credit toward a boudoir shoot to the American Heart Association's Heart Beach Ball here in Santa Barbara. The Heart Beach Ball happens annually and is a big fundraiser from AHA! Sarah is on the board and attended the event, and bid on the shoot... AND WON! Woohoo! So this shoot we got to celebrate her and her journey and her charitable work for AHA. I had so much fun photographing her daughter Madison! Too cute!Sarah was floored by the photos and bought quite a few wall portraits to give as gifts to her husband and her daughter for Christmas. I love knowing that a huge canvas hangs in their house, as well as as some smaller shots on her husband's desk. I also love that she got Madison some images for her room-- how great is that for a young girl's self esteem to have gorgeous portraits of herself of the wall of her room! LOVE!Sarah loved everything so much she asked me to donate to Heart Beach Ball again... And I did! Can't wait to meet this year's lucky winner! :)
