Marketing ideas for new business owners
This one is for all the aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners out there. When you first get started there is so much to do and you’re wearing so many hats. If you don’t have a background in marketing, it can feel overwhelming to add that to your ever-growing to-do list.
So let’s talk about some simple ways you can market your new business effectively!
Blackthorne Neighborhood Pub: Tri-Cities new third space
One of the great additions to the downtown area is Blackthorne Neighborhood Pub. It’s an English style pub right in the heart of downtown Kennewick. And while (full disclosure) I am friends with the owner, it legitimately is one of my favorite places. The welcoming vibes are just the start. Add on the delicious food, extensive cocktail – and Mocktail – menu, and the events they host throughout the month, and you’ve got yourself your new third space.
Branding Photography for a somatic healer
Learn about this burnout recovery coach who’s focused on getting to the root of your stuckness. Based in Tri-Cities, WA, I worked with her last year to get some gorgeous branding photography done as she was launching her coaching business.

Start the Year Off Right: A Guide for Business Owners
I understand that we’re almost 2 months into the new year.
This still applies, and can help you dial in the rest of 2025 (and future years) for yourself and your business.
A new year is a fresh start, and you have the power to set the tone for your own success. Intentional planning is the key to making this your best year yet. Here’s how you can step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and joy whether you’re just starting out on your side hustle or a full-time entrepreneur.
Designing your content the easy way
I’ve spent years working with brands, some of which had no idea what direction they needed or wanted to go in with their online presence, and helped them come up with clear stories they want to tell online. I’ve helped them narrow down what they want to show and how they want to show it. And I’ve created some badass pictures for them to use in their marketing to really showcase all those amazing things they’re putting out into the world.
And now, I’ve put my knowledge down on (virtual) paper.

Recap: 2024 Self-Love Women’s Retreat
The 2024 Self-Love Women’s Retreat was my best one yet.
Each year these retreats get better as I learn what works and what doesn’t, as more people who need this transformative day find out about it, and as fabulous speakers continue to present and take part in the day. This was not only my biggest turnout, but I also feel that this group of attendees was the most vulnerable and open to connection I’ve had so far.
Let’s recap.
2024 Holiday Marketing - Tips for Small Businesses
Have you started planning your holiday marketing?
If not, this is your reminder that this needs to happen ASAP.
Small Business Saturday is on November 30th.
Which means you only have 3 weeks to nail down how you’re going to attract all those holiday shoppers to your business.
Here are 3 ways you can attract customers during this holiday shopping season:
Why Authenticity is Your Best Marketing Tool
That’s right, showing up authentically is the number one way a small business owner can grow their following. Gimmicks, trends, or flash sales (while those all have their place in advertising) don’t compare to consistently showing up, as you, for the people who follow your business.
How do I know this?
I’ve done it.
Community Over Competition: MAC Retreats
If you’re a woman in the Tri-Cities, and you’ve been looking for an uplifting network of supportive women, join one of these Saturday afternoon events. You won’t be sorry.
Group Branding Opportunity: Final 2024 Event
These sessions are a blast. They include perks like updating your marketing images (naturally), meeting other entrepreneurs, and experiencing a fun and laid-back photoshoot that takes the pressure off of trying to look perfect. You get to relax, enjoy connecting with other women, and be in a room of hype girls telling you how great you look.

Photo Post: Human Resources Expert
Branding pictures aren’t for specific industries,
they’re great for anyone who’s starting a business, a side hustle, or a personal brand.
I have branding photography clients who are creatives, boutique owners, massage therapists, realtors, restauranteurs, financial coaches, and so many other industries.
Leaning In: Why I’m revamping how I do business
My mindset shifts are happening slowly, but they’re happening.
And my business is going to benefit because of it.
My work is going to go back to focusing on the heart of why I started. To create gorgeous images and help people feel like the best, most authentic version of themselves. Because when I get back to the heart of why I started, and focus on making every single client experience as beautiful as I can, I know the rest will follow.
Loving Yourself and Why That Matters
Remember, self-care and self-love are not selfish; they are necessary pieces of a healthy, balanced life. By taking care of ourselves, we’re ensuring that we have enough to give to continue supporting others and contribute positively to the world around us. So, take a deep breath, listen to your needs, and give yourself the care and love you deserve. You are worth it.
Product Photography with JK Photos
A study by VWO (a visual website optimization firm) revealed that websites with high-quality images experienced a 35% increase in conversions compared to those with low-quality images or stock photography.
Let’s be clear: the pictures you take aren’t bad. But bringing in a pro is proven to equal more sales. So if you’re ready to grow your business, sell more products, and earn more money, a professional photographer is an excellent investment.

Photoshoot in Puerto Rico: Group Branding and Growth
So when I say that my group branding sessions are fire, you better believe it. 😉 These women walked away excited and raving about how good I made them feel. They were so excited that I offered this while we were all together, and I got a ton of love after I sent them their galleries too.
In fact, I bonded so hard with one of them that we still text each other randomly and stay in touch with each others lives.
The power of connection is so strong.
Let’s create community together.
