Images for Social Media
Don't let your social media get lost in the noise.
Relevant images are your secret weapon for capturing attention and building a loyal following. They're a direct line to your audience, helping you communicate vital information and skyrocket engagement.
To truly stand out, you need more than just great photos—you need a visual brand identity. Develop your visual presence with the same care and strategy you put into your sales pitches, and watch your brand come to life.
Rebranding
Rebranding is the powerful market strategy of giving an established brand a fresh identity. We're talking about a new name, a new logo, or a complete redesign to set you apart from the competition.
It's more than just a new look—it's about creating a unique identity that makes your brand unforgettable.

WOTW 2023
Trust. This is the power of a long-term partnership.
In 2020, WOTW hired me with a vision for their future. We discussed a complete brand overhaul—from a new color palette and logo font to innovative packaging that would capture their unique identity. Two years later, they were ready. The result? A stunning transformation that not only elevated their product but also their entire brand.
We transitioned them from simple sticker labels on brown bags to beautifully printed packaging, complete with a fresh font and a new color scheme. This wasn't just a makeover; it was an investment. By adding this value to their product, we created brand recognition and a win-win solution for everyone.
Ready to build trust and elevate your brand? Let's create a transformation that stands the test of time. I'm not only competent, but I also have integrity and a genuine focus on your needs.
Elevate Your Campaigns with Multi-Purpose Images
The lifespan of a product image is vast.
Here are examples of my product images being used for multiple ad campaigns. A single image can be a powerful, multipurpose tool—perfect for everything from social media posts to website backdrops.

Note: This image of a T-shirt is not photoshopped. It is pinned, and primped to perfection.
Photographing a t-shirt as a flat lay involves carefully preparing the garment on a neutral background, using good lighting, and capturing a well-composed image. The goal is to showcase the t-shirt's design, texture, and features in a clear and visually appealing way. This can be achieved by ironing the shirt, arranging it in a flattering way, and using props or creative composition to add interest. The final image can be enhanced through editing to adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance, and to remove any imperfections.
Harness the power of human connection to sell your products. When you use models in your advertising, you're not just showing a product—you're creating an emotional experience! Models help customers see themselves using your product, demonstrating its function and scale in a relatable, real-world context. This approach builds a powerful brand identity, fosters trust, and makes your ads more engaging, more memorable, and ultimately, more effective at driving sales.

Jen embodies her brand, and she needs images that reflect her bubbly, interesting, and exciting personality. We create photos for her to use on banners at comic conventions, for signed autographs, and for all her press needs. Welcome to the longevity of an image!
