When Emily came to me curious about brand photography for her business, she had a very specific niche and visual idea in mind. She works with neurodivergent women (mostly single) and absolutely didn’t want the stereotypical all-white, minimalist look of most home organization photoshoots. I was a bit nervous because this is different than what I typically hear from clients, but I was up for the challenge!

My name is Rachael. I am a licensed Esthetician, business owner, and proud mom! Through my services, I want to inspire you to feel beautiful and, above all, help you step into your true beauty. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career path as an Esthetician and makeup artist, but it was never a dream of mine to have my own business.

If you're anything like me—juggling work, kids, and a million other responsibilities—finding time to work out can feel like a luxury you can’t afford. But let me let you in on a little secret: strength training isn’t just another item to tick off your to-do list; it’s a game-changer, especially for women like us as we age.

I met Sarah through a mutual friend/client and then when she messaged me looking for a refresh of her headshot but with hesitance, I knew I was the right photographer for the job. Because here’s the thing. Most of my clients do not like getting their photos taken and do NOT typically like the results. BUT I remind them that they haven’t worked with the right photographer: someone who has the creative eye, but will lead them through direction/poses, great lighting, and fun conversation to help calm the nerves. That relationship is so vital to a great photo!!

In a world filled with fad diets, restrictive eating plans, and an overwhelming amount of advice on what to eat, it’s easy to lose touch with one of the most foundational and important aspects of health: our relationship with food.

Life is all about feeling the best you that you can be. Both self-esteem and self-worth are great catalysts to reaching that very best. The two are quite similar but have their differences.

Are you a new entrepreneur struggling to escape your insecurities and doubt? Can’t seem to dodge the expectations society has placed on femininity?

Diets. It seems we all want the idea of dieting to be constructive and positive, yet the idea of “diet culture” makes that specific want–a little harder to achieve.

Motherhood. The challenges of making powerful decisions about our kids while not letting the pressure get to us. And now, digitally, these challenges inflate even more. At such a young age, kids are exposed to all things screens–particularly social media. It makes us questions, how much is too much, and what are the benefits, but also the downfalls?

As women, we are often shamed regarding the topic of our sensuality and pleasure. It has become such a taboo topic, therefore being an occasional “plus” for us, rarely. Our needs are usually pushed aside and treated as inferior to the public, and especially the sexuality of men. It is time that changes.

We all grow up with classic fairy tales, almost always with a happy ending. There is inevitably that one story that you relate to, that makes you feel something. Why did you love it so much? What inspired you about it?

Holding your breath, feeling like you want to show the true you, but something is holding you back? Always worried about external validation or the responses you will receive from others? Embarrassed, or hesitant to reveal the contents of your bad days, worried they may outweigh the good? 

It is time to exhale.

I’m here to talk about a specific kind of confidence–body confidence. Body confidence is what it spells out: how a person feels about their body and appearance, and their body's abilities. With body confidence comes freedom, stability in relationships and views, acceptance, and so much more. It is time we all show up body-confident to work, to the gym, to run errands. Let’s break it down.

Ever feel like it’s “that time of the year”–the entire year? Hustling, bustling, running around nonstop without a window of time for yourself? The gears never get a break from spinning, and your body goes on autopilot. Yes, we all know that taking care of ourselves is important. But, when your life looks and feels like this, it can seem impossible.
