Your branding pictures should be more than pretty. They should be strategic.
These are an investment into your marketing. Which, if done right, can have huge returns.
To make sure they do, you should be working closely with your branding photographer to get all the details and plans hashed out before the day of the shoot. JK Photos clients get that and more. Here’s what the planning process looks like when you hire me to take your branding pictures.

Wellness Studio with a Community Twist in Richland, WA
From the wide range of stories we were able to tell in their galleries, to the video clips we got for some BTS reels, this group session was gold. They were able to support each other in their images to showcase their 1:1 client work, and the vibes were just right for both of them to feel comfortable and safe to be their most authentic selves.
Self-Love Portraits evolving into Women’s Retreats
Now, 5 years later, these retreats have evolved into a community and a movement. They’ve evolved into something bigger than I ever expected. And a part of that is these self-love portraits.

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.

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.

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.
