Your brand starts with you



What do people think of ​when they think of you?
YOU are the brand.​ We help business owners and founders create powerful brands so they can build trust, stay visible and grow faster with less effort. We create photography, video, podcasts, YouTube channels and digital marketing that builds authority and drives growth. ​​ ​​People need to see you and learn from you before they can trust you.
Branding is the Digitization of your Reputation
In a world of AI video, hilarious memes and baby sloth videos, we lift your message up so your clients can learn from you, build trust in you and want to do business with you. By serving and educating you will attract the clients that are meant for you. You're amazing at what you do but creating content is a full-time job and you already have one of those!
​We create the content that allows you to be the trusted, go-to expert in your space.

You Know You Need Content. You Just Don’t Have Time to Make It.
Your audience wants to see you and video makes that happen. We help founders, service providers, and personal brands turn their voice, story, and expertise into professional photos & video content with a plan to actually use it. Video helps your future clients feel connected to you before they ever step into a meeting. It's the fastest path to building trust and authority online. It's no longer "social" media, it is now "interest" media. Followers don't matter anymore. Search engines love video. Social platforms prioritize it.  And AI uses your video to recommend businesses like yours.  If you're ready to grow your reach and deepen relationships, video it where it starts.

Liz used her expertise in our Branding session to produce the BEST headshots for me and my husband and the most touching photos of us together. Then when my daughter launched her book,  Liz captured the book jacket image and covered the Launch event. They are, hands down, the most amazing photos of our lifetime and will be cherished forever.

In my work as a public speaker/IT evangelist my personal brand is extremely important. The photographs Liz took skillfully captured me in such a way as to convey both expertise and approachability. I have used the images from our branding session in working for a number of companies in the IT space. The fact that I have professional images with a variety of backgrounds, lighting and clothing choices has been a welcome surprise to the marketing departments of my clients giving them flexibility and choice in what they could use. I looking forward to a future repeat branding session with Liz.

I have used Liz for both personal and professional photography. She not only makes what could be a painful experience fun but also captures each persons personality in every photo. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

My online visual presence was never much of a priority until I met Liz. She assured me that once we were done, my level would be changed forever, and BOY WAS SHE RIGHT! The images she captured for my different business endeavors still amaze me and lend tremendous credibility and professionalism to my brand. I recommend Liz to anyone who is serious about raising the bar!

My session with Liz was life affirming. From the clothing we selected to the jewelry, to the poses, every nuance reflected our goal to capture light, love, laughter and life in pictures. Liz encouraged me to be my best self, she helped me find a freedom in the session to dance, to cry and to honor who I am and who I was while also reaching out to who I am becoming. Looking forward while honoring the past, Liz thoughtfully documented me today in color, black and white, nude, in light and shadow. It was a beautiful moment in time in my life. I will never forget the special time I spent or the safe caring environment Liz created for the shoot. She gave me the confidence to share and bare my most vulnerable self to the camera. And I will always have the photographs to cherish it forever. Thank you Liz for a fabulous experience. You are truly a gift.
