You have an offer you know your audience needs, so why aren’t they buying?

The answer lies in your marketing.

It’s one thing to have an incredible product or service, and it’s something else entirely to get droves of people convinced it’s worth it. 

If you’re nodding along—you need visuals that signal to your audience you’re the real deal.

Photos that make a killer first impression

It’s time to draw your audience in and make them sprint for their wallet.

Let’s kick your brand photos up a notch…or 12.

Exactly how we’ll get you those dream photos.

1. DROP ME A LINE

Fill out the brief inquiry form with details about your business and the photos and videos you’re looking for. I work with both product and service based businesses.

2. SEE IF WE’RE A FIT

I'll reach back out so we can set up a call to make sure we're aligned on your vision. For larger projects, we can do a video call to discuss visuals directly and potentially arrange an in-person walkthrough of your space before the shoot.

3. Sign on the dotted line

I'll reach back out so we can set up a call to make sure we're aligned on your vision. For larger projects, we can do a video call to discuss visuals directly and potentially arrange an in-person walkthrough of your space before the shoot.

4. Plot photo perfection

We’ll plan allllll the details. This includes the setting of your shoot (May I recommend stepping outside?) and the creative direction.

5. Lights, camera, magic

Show up to your session ready to shine. I'll send over Balsam’s business style guide to walk you through poses and direction to capture your brand authentically. Whether we're shooting products, in-person sessions, or you in action, I'll direct every shot and keep you feeling confident throughout.

6. Gallery day!

You’ll receive a link to view your online gallery via email and will use your download credits to pick your faves.

Think of me as your marketing secret weapon.

hEY, I’m Kelly!

When most people think of marketing they think websites, social media, and paid ads. I’m here to remind you that visuals set the tone for all of that.

Show your product in the wild

A can of craft beer is going to look so much better lakeside with cool, clear water and pine trees in the background than sitting at the bottom of a cooler next to melted ice.

Creative styling is included in everything I do so your product puts its best foot forward.

Let ‘em see how well-made it is

Photos show the quality and materials used to create your product. This makes it crystal clear how your product fits better in their life than any of what your competitors are offering

Show it to scale

Help your audience see the exact size and shape of your product. Remember— the better they can visualize the more likely they are to buy.
