Mini Branding Sessions

Your first impression matters! And in a world where your online presence is often the first impression you make on your potential clients, it’s more important than ever to be mindful of how you present yourself. For small business owners and entreprenuers, YOU are a representation of your brand. A mini branding session is the perfect way to update your online presence visually with a curated collection of images to showcase what you do!

Our mini branding sessions start with a 15 minute planning call to get to know one another. We discuss your brand, your color scheme, any products you might want to include, as well as a rundown of what to expect the day of your photoshoot. From there, we create a custom mood board and shot list, so we’re ready to rock the minute you walk in the door on the day of your session. Clients get a 30 minute makeup look with one of our favorite HMUA (we adore Lindsey Regan Thorne) followed by a 25 minute photography session. We love to include a little “B-roll” footage for clients with one of our talented social media coordinators (like Annie Spence and Brooklyn Banks) which makes for the perfect little bank of footage to create reels and other social media posts with. Oh, and did I mention we always start with mimosas? Now, who’s in for the next?!

K. Files Design

We have ALL spent an enormous amount of time at home over the past year, and if you’re like me, you’re constantly brainstorming ways to spruce up your spaces both inside and out. Over quarantine we built a zipline, a raised flower bed, a treehouse platform, and hung a swing…all things to keep the kids busy. But now I’m about ready for some adult outdoor spaces, and I bet you are too! Luckily for you, I have someone you need to meet to help you with those outdoor projects!

I’m so excited to introduce you to Karri Files Paul, the owner and lead designer of K. Files Design, a premier landscape design service in Charlotte, NC. She is NYBG Gardening certified with a knack for creating sustainable spaces, but spent the first half of her career in the fashion industry in New York City! After graduating from Parsons School of Design she spent 16+ years in the world of apparel with amazing brands like Tommy Hilfiger (I know! Tommy Hilfiger! She’s kind of a badass!). After leaving her post as a Design Director at Tommy, Karri made the leap into landscape design when she relocated to her home state of North Carolina. Her eye for design is spot on, her plans are gorgeous, and her attention to detail is impeccable.

We had the opportunity to capture a few images together to help boost her brand, and I am so excited to share them with you. Did you know that good photography is one of the best ways to boost your online image? Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested in refreshing your brand imagery!
