Marketing 1:1 ๐Ÿ˜‰

I am definitely Ron Swanson ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† and I am sure we all got to the point in our businesses at least once where weโ€™re like, "hire or don't, I am ok with either."

The reality is that social media became a HUGE part of marketing now, and we all suddenly became content creators too, on top of running a business! Many brand teams put in a LOT of effort into it, not to mention keeping up with trends, analytics, and everything in between.

But what about photography that actually helps your brand stand out? Do you really want to add that to your teamโ€™s already full plate?

Outsourcing is exactly what successful brands do, their team works hard behind the scenes, while their creative partner (aka me ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ) helps them with quality content thatโ€™s ready to use right away.

Because remember: an overworked team lacks quality. So do yourself (and them) a favor and hire a product photographer ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜‰

We can't be everyone's cup of tea ๐Ÿ˜”

That's just the fact!

How many times I got rejected by a brand while they end up hiring someone else, and leaving me thinking "what did I do wrong?!".

But in reality brands just go for what fits them the best and this took me a while to come to and realize, but I am truly happy the brand finds a solution even if we never cross path again!

When it comes to choosing a creative partner for your brand, I am all about the connection and making sure we are on the same page and I am not the perfect fit for everyone and that's ok! For some it could be budget issues, for other it could be my vibe ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

But when your brand does hire me, I will do everything in my power to make sure your team walks away with visual assets that do more than just look good on your social media ๐Ÿ˜‰

You really don't want to scroll to the end of this carousel ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Every product photographer pride themselves in their final assets, polished, perfect, and ready for brands to utilize for their marketing. However, the dark side of it is trying to balance that mascara on a flower so it doesn't look fake or out of place, not to mention trying to find the right lighting angle.

If you know me and worked with me, you already know how much I love bringing interesting props into the scenes. Like this dark red hibiscus flower I saw in someone's garden. I drove by it quite few times before I got the courage to knock on their door and ask to cut me one or couple for the shoot!

Long story short, I accomplished the task of getting that flower and making sure mascara looks perfect blooming out of it.

Rest assured, when your brand hires me, you are gonna get waaaaaaay more than just a photographer. You gonna finally realize that I am the creative partner you have been searching for this whole time ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ“ธ

Some brands seem to understand this and others just won't accept the fact that it's non-negotiable at this point!

I come across a brand and their best rated serum is $150, me as a very visual person of course stalk them on IG, however there is no visual consistency, way to many inforgraphics and ugc - which are important too, but when it's too much - it's too much ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Did I buy it? No, and not because I am a product photographer and get products for free from brands, but from a consumer point of view I didn't feel like that serum actually worth $150.

I walked away!

In all the reality, it could be the best formulated serum in the world, but if the visual experience don't align I don't feel like I can trust them.

Your visuals cannot just be "good enough" and you can't just repost the same images from 3 years ago.

People want new fresh content EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I love to think of me as your creative partner who make sure to match the quality of your visual assets to that price tag!

Stop relying on ugc only and book a shoot, so we can make sure when your viewers come across your brand they not only follow but add your product to cart and wonder why they didnโ€™t buy it sooner ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ“ธ

Coming up with creative ways to highlight product textures is one of my hidden talents โœจ

Listen, if youโ€™re part of a growing beauty brand, you already know how crucial premium visuals are, they have to match your price tag, your positioning, and the level your brand is scaling to! You just have no time to waste the brand's budget on cheap photography.

As your creative partner, I donโ€™t just make products look beautiful (which is still btw important af) - but I make sure your visual assets sell the experience your customers expect ๐Ÿ˜‰

An iconic product deserves more than a product shot - it needs to be in a spotlight โœจ

For bronzer, the goal was simple: create high-quality photos and videos that donโ€™t just show the product, but show the results. Because at the end of the day, results are everything!!!

Thatโ€™s what builds trust with your customers and confidence in your brand ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜‰

The type of creative direction I bring to every shoot is not just making your products look beautiful, but making sure your customers immediately see the value.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If your brand is ready for visuals that both inspire and convert, letโ€™s talk.

Monthly maybe?

What if the content doesnโ€™t feel cohesive with our brand?

Your team may be afraid to hire someone new because of that. And thatโ€™s a valid concern.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Consistency in your branding is important and when it look OFF it creates doubt instead of recognition.

For mini shoot, the goal was simple but very strategic: keep the content perfectly aligned with their established aesthetic while highlighting what makes their product shine!

By using fresh orange and orange peel as props and focusing on texture shots, I created assets that fit seamlessly with their brand identity.

๐Ÿ‘‰At the end of the day iโ€™s not about producing MORE, itโ€™s about producing the RIGHT creative assets that strengthens recognition, builds credibility, and drives sales in the long run.

So if you have been overthinking about hiring someone to tell your brand's story, the easiest way to know if I am the right fit for you is to chat with me ๐Ÿ˜Š my DMs and emails are open for you

Negative space = creative freedom ๐Ÿช„

๐Ÿ‘‰ Whether itโ€™s for ads, social media, email marketing, POS, or even billboards, having extra breathing room in your images makes a huge difference.

And speaking of spaceโ€ฆanyone else is a little frustrated with IG switching up the carousel ratio?

Same here ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

But hey, perfectionist problems - I just want everything to look sharp!

Why do creators take on personal projects?

๐Ÿ‘‰ The reason I do it is to experiment, refine my skills, and challenge my creative limits - all while having lots of fun during the process, getting messy with textures, etc.

These projects allow us, product photographers, to perfect the techniques we bring to client's work! In the end, we don't really do it for ourselves. We do it so we can deliver the best of the best for your brand ๐Ÿซถ

A huge thank-you to for elevating these images with her exceptional retouching. Her attention to detail and ability to preserve the natural beauty of each shot take the final results to the next level. Genuinely can recommend her for anyone seeking professional and seamless edits!

Silky smooth collection from ๐Ÿง–โ€โ™€๏ธ

Absolutely love creating for this brand and being able to discover their new inventions. Each new shipment I get smells so good I want to swim in it ๐Ÿ˜… but do I? maybe a tiny bit ๐Ÿ˜‰

recently opened a store at the Mall of Georgia, and I could not be more excited for them! To see their progress and growth!

Cheers to that ๐Ÿฅ‚

Peachy edition of the lip gloss ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ‘

You all are amazing โ€” thanks for all the love on my strawberry photos! Now itโ€™s time for the peach one to shine. The concept stayed similar, with familiar angles, but I switched up the props and background to bring out that peachy vibe!

This project is all about showing brands how spectacular their products can look with the right background, fresh props, and textures that pop ๐Ÿ˜‰
