Many brands struggle with presenting their products effectively online, which leads to decreased customer engagement and sales. I help brands and small businesses show off their products in a way that speaks directly to their ideal customer and converts more browsers into buyers. First, we get clear on your goals and brand voice. Next, we’ll nail down the details of your shoot - colors, props, ingredients, a shot list - so I can do my best to capture your vision. Once I get final approval from you, then I'll get to work creating your content. As a photographer with over 5 years of experience creating content for brands like Everclear, iHerb, and NOW Foods, I'll help guide you through the messy stages of clarifying your vision, developing a cohesive visual story, and creating images that you and your customers love. My focus includes: *Visual strategy *Shot list creation *Prop selection *Product photography *Collateral content, such as stop-motion video or short-form video *Photo retouching *Final image delivery, pre-formatted for print, web, or social Next step is to schedule a 20 minute Discovery Call to get a more specific scope of work so I can followup with a detailed proposal, timeline and project costs.
