Because I know none of you are boring…..

So what is your trick for acting even when you are afraid?

🖤Tell me more👇🏻

❣️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.🖤

There is a brightness to your smile when you show up for your business. A really beautiful brightness and there is nothing I love more than capturing it in portraits❤️.

My favorite thing about this job is listening to small business owners tell me the passion they have for WHY they started their business and showcasing their strengths through portraiture. Starfish Academy is whole heartedly serving our community with wisdom and compassion. I am honored to participate in a small piece of their growth.

If you have👉🏻 “business portraits” on your list, but keep procrastinating, TRUST ME to take your portraits in a way that you will love them, you will enjoy the process and your business will grow. It happens every time.

DM me if you have any questions or to schedule!

Here’s how to be memorable as a business, listen to Maya Angelou->> People are not driven by what you do or say, they can always find someone to provide your same service.

They love the results you bring, BUT the reason they will REMEMBER & BE LOYAL to you is:

▪️How you make them feel▪️

My business makes small business owners feel: CONFIDENT, SEEN, SUPPORTED, RELAXED, & TRUSTED.

Because I truly believe in them and implement the little details that showcase them for all of their strengths by strengthening their social media.

How does YOUR business make your customer FEEL?

I would love to know in the comments👇🏻!
