That kind of clarity? That’s when everything starts clicking into place.

Hearing an ideal client say—out loud—exactly why they love working with you.

When someone perfectly articulates why they chose your business and how it served them, it’s not just flattering. It’s clarity.

It helps you understand what sets your business apart. What makes it memorable. What makes you the one they trust.

It’s also your guide. Because when you know why you’re resonating with your dream clients, you know exactly how to attract more people just like them.

And that’s the goal.

To fill your calendar with clients who get you. Who are aligned with your values, your offer, and the transformation only you can provide.

That kind of clarity? That’s when everything starts clicking into place.

In walks brand portraits. Solving problems and allowing you to post consistently and confidently.

When you don’t feel photogenic it is hard to post on Instagram for your business. Because who wants to post when you feel critical of how you look in everything?!

Brand portraits are not a vanity thing. They are a business strategy. Because they solve that central problem. How do I post something I feel confident about without taking all of my time?

You don’t need to post *everything* as a professional portrait, but sprinkling them in adds to your branding, and makes it so much easier.

Plus it’s actually so fun to finally prioritize yourself this way. And showing you how beautiful and photogenic you actually are is what I truly love to do.

So let’s team up and boost your business strategy. Step one. Message me and we can make you stand out all while making Instagram a lot easier💥🔥🖤

🔺 I spent some time with ChatGPT yesterday and it asked me this question about my business- What kind of future are you building?

I talked back and then it helped me put my thoughts together. The result is spot on👉🏼

▪️I’m building a future where small business owners feel confident, and truly seen in their online presence. No more throwing things together, no more feeling disconnected from your brand—just a beautifully aligned, strategically designed presence that feels like you and attracts your right audience naturally.

I envision a world where branding is not just visual, but soulful, where businesses are recognized for their unique strengths, and where social media becomes a space of true connection rather than pressure or overwhelm. I want to redefine what it means to ‘show up online’—not as something forced, but as an authentic extension of who you are.

Through my work, I want to amplify the strengths of real people, real businesses, and real communities, helping female entrepreneurs build incredible brands that feel effortless, create lasting impact, and foster genuine relationships in your industry and beyond.

So if you have a female founded brand and you are here for growth, community and desire a strategy led, beautifully designed brand. You are in the right place

FYI: vanity metrics aren't worth a lot. A connected community full of leads is a lot more valuable to your bottom line and a LOT more fun to post for. So why not go for it?!✨😎

Ok lets break this down. Social media success is not about vanity metrics. You can have a huge following that does nothing for your bottom line. You can also post daily with no strategy and do nothing but waste your time. However— if you focus on building community and connection while staying aligned with your brand pillars….. Magic happens and growth keeps coming. Lets make more of THAT✨🙌🏻

I always say social media success comes when its rewarding and fun.

Doesn’t it sound so much better to spend your time on Instagram when its a community full of your people??

Maybe we should THANK the algorithm for finding us OUR people🖤

Thank you for being my people.

❣️The truth about many business owners in Maine: you excel in providing amazing service in person, but often your website gets tucked away, neglected and underutilized.

If this sounds familiar, it’s time to admit- When potential customers hear about you, their first instinct is to check you out online. They’re eager to find the next steps to connect and purchase from you. The easier you make this process, the more they’ll trust you and the more likely they are to follow through.
You’ve invested time in customer service and social media, but how well does your website welcome and guide your customers? Is it easy for them to learn about your business and take action, whether that’s reaching out or making a purchase?

The smoother you make this journey, the more your business will flourish. 🌟

If you’re ready to elevate your business with a standout website that truly represents you—send me a message!

I’d love to help you shine online and make 2025 your best year yet! 🫶🏻

Just today, I was speaking with a potential client who admitted she felt uncomfortable in front of the camera. I was able to say confidently, “You’re a beautiful, photogenic woman, and I can take pictures of you that you’ll love.” I meant it, and I’ve put in the years to build that confidence and expertise to deliver on that promise.

When I started back in 2007, I was a family and portrait photographer. It was the space where I honed my technical skills and discovered my passion for capturing each person’s unique beauty—not just a posed image, but a glimpse of their inner self.

By 2017, I felt drawn to helping businesses grow. In 2018, I narrowed my focus to small business portraiture and social media, and in 2021, I earned my University Certificate in Social Media Marketing. That’s where I found my true purpose.

Today, I help entrepreneurs like you thrive online with a strategic, goal-focused, and beautiful social media presence. My gift is making you feel at ease in front of the camera while bringing out your brand’s strengths—always keeping your content aligned with your business goals.

If I could tell you one thing about building your online presence, it’s this: **You CAN thrive online**. The process is easier than you think, and the result can be something you’re proud of. I’d love to help you experience the confidence that comes from a strong online presence.

🖤Let’s get started—send me a message or comment below, and let’s talk about bringing your brand to life!

Rachelle has this centered, steady, rockstar energy. I simultaneously want to have her answer all of my natural beauty questions and go out to lunch to get to know her better. She just draws me in. I’ve seen her with no makeup and with flawless cocktail dress makeup and in either situation she slays. I can see why she is made for the field of permanent makeup.

If you are looking for her, you’ll find her in the Soothe Center near Soothe Medical in Augusta! She is the perfect example of why I absolutely love the opportunity to photograph incredible women.🖤

🍒Here’s the breakdown>>
3 types of Team Pictures every business needs to STAND OUT online & post more easily in IG & Facebook>>

⚫1. FORMAL PORTRAITS in a landscape orientation for your website and to use in graphic designs:

⚫2. Candid pictures of TEAM INTERACTING. Mostly vertical orientation for easy use on Instagram.
**These pictures highlight the current service, topic or product you are prioritizing**

⚫3. Candid pictures of your TEAM WORKING. Mostly vertical orientation for easy use on Instagram.

I suggest you prioritize them
