Based in Lexington, KY
Optional description from consultant: As a business owner, you set out to provide the best product or service to your clients possible. You didn't anticipate having to become a marketing expert in addition to everything else. You should be able to focus on your business. Let somebody else take care of the marketing. As an entrepreneur, I know what it's like to start a company and try to grow it. I've worked in a lot of different fields. Including non-profits, launching successful retail businesses, and growing start-ups on a national scale. Regardless of the industry, there was one problem that they all shared: Gaining clarity around marketing. Over the last 12 years in business, I have failed many times. Through these failures, I've learned some key insights to help you grow your business. These key insights are all centered around effective marketing.
When I say effective marketing, I'm referring to a few core foundations:
• Messaging • Branding • Website • Photo & Video • Marketing & Advertising
Effective marketing builds trust and sets you apart as a brand with authority. When you get your marketing right, you stand out from the competitors and start to see your business grow. If you're interested in working together, send me a DM, and let's talk about growing your business.

I believe the best way to achieve great results are to relate to clients on a level they forget the camera is even in the room. Furthermore, I like to tailor my sessions to who my clients are and what they value, so that the photos they receive are a direct reflection of themselves.
