⭐️Attract Your Dream Audience Without Sacrificing Authenticity: The Sqirl’s Guide.

💎 Cutting through the noise online is hard. But hear me on this- you DO NOT and SHOULD NOT ever have to compromise yourself.

☕Let me spill the tea on three ways neurodivergent entrepreneurs can make that magnetic connection without betraying themselves.

💥1. Own Your Quirkiness:

Your greatest power lies in your originality. So, let's actually turn the spotlight ON your authenticity. Screw fitting into the mold; your unique voice is what's going to draw your niche to you. Share your tales, the highs, the lows, the wild and messy turns. When you wear your heart on your sleeve, authenticity radiates like a beacon, drawing your niche right into your story. Trust me, I've done it.

💥Set Your Values in Stone:

Next, you need to take a deep dive into your values. What drives you? What engages your hyperfocus? What triggers your justice sensitivity? Define your values and let them be what guides your brand. When your audience sees your unwavering commitment to what you believe in, magic happens, trust is built, and they see someone they want to connect with. Your niche will begin to rally behind you not just for what you offer but for the principles you stand by.

💥Craft Solutions that Scream Your Brand

Your products or services should be a one-two punch of your authentic self AND the needs of your niche. Instead of squeezing into a mold, curate offerings that genuinely resonate with you and your dream audience. When your solutions flow from a place of genuine empathy, creativity and insight, your niche will flock to you like bees to honey. Do bees flock to honey? Do bees flock? *shrug*, but moving on...

💞 Attracting your dream niche without sacrificing your genuine self isn't just doable, it's the golden ticket to deeply resonating with your audience.

Launch day is here! I designed an entire line of clothing specially made for all the neurospicy badasses out there! And I’m so stinking excited!

Check it out at Readysetsquirrel.com/shop

🌶️🌶️🌶️ Say hello to a neurodivergent clothing line that’s as spicy as you are! Made for neurodivergent women by a neurodivergent woman. Welcome to the Sqirl Sqad 🐿️💋

The story: Hi new friends, I’m Bree! I’m a female entrepreneur and late diagnosed- ADHDer (dx at 37). As I began my journey into advocacy on social media, I found myself wanting some clothing that fit my vibe and message and was really just not finding anything that fit the bill.

I wanted something that was feminine but equally badass. A little quirky, a little badass, and something that exuded love and acceptance and inclusivity. So, our Ready, Set, Squirrel fashion line was born. Styles for all different body shapes and sizes, designs that are fun, quirky, and a little bit wild- just like you.

For all our spicy men out there, if you can rock the hot pink, there’s designs in there for you as well as unisex clothing! I want everyone to be able to rock some of our new gear.

So, hop on over to our store at www.readysetsquirrel.com/shop (link in bio) and join the Sqirl Squad. Let’s share the message of neurodiversity with the world and wear our spice with pride 🤘🏻😘🌶️

Hey there, lovebirds! Let's talk about the magical world of photographers and the importance of finding one who makes you feel as comfortable as an oversized couch in your favorite PJs. 🛋️✨

We all know that awkward feeling when you're posed like a statue, trying to smile naturally while secretly wondering if your face has gone rogue. It's like your cheeks have decided to participate in a marathon, leaving you questioning your own ability to smile without looking like a robot. 🤖😬

But fear not, my friends! Enter the superhero of authentic photography: ME! 🦸‍♂️ Armed with a camera and a goofy sense of humor, I'm on a mission to capture your genuine, unfiltered story—one hilariously awkward moment at a time. 📸💕😄

No stiff poses or fake smiles here! I know that true love shines brightest when you're being yourselves—quirks, laughter, and all! I'll encourage you to bust out your signature dance moves, make silly faces, or even throw down in a tickle fight (yes, seriously!). Because let's be honest, folks, authentic love is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes involves awkwardly tangled limbs. 😂💃🕺

So, when you're on the hunt for the perfect photographer, don't settle for someone who wants to turn you into cardboard cutouts. Seek out the one who's as excited about your unique story as you are! I'll make you feel so comfortable that you forget the camera is even there. Love is beautifully imperfect, and that's what makes it so darn special. ❤️

So, secure your session today with someone who's up for the challenge of capturing your wonderfully awkward, authentically magical love story. Embrace the imperfections, let your true selves shine, and get ready for a photo album that will make you snort-laugh for years to come! Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever afters 🥂✨📸

Tuesday Tip: WHEN THEY GO HIGH, YOU GO LOW

*GASP* Don't worry, I made it sound way more controversial than it really is because apparently I find things like that funny.

ANYWHO, Next time you're shooting, try out a "Perspective Challenge" to add a little twist to your photos! Instead of shooting from eye level, get that b***y on the floor, or find a high vantage point. Experiment with different angles and perspectives to create a fresh and unique visual narrative. Get creative by capturing shots in an army crawl position, or climb up a tree (SAFELY) or a staircase to capture an aerial view. I've been known to stand on many a window sill.

This fun tip will not only add an element of excitement to your images but also provide a fresh perspective that can transform ordinary scenes into something that is visually intriguing and makes you take a second look.

So, **in this very specific instance**, don't be afraid to go low when they go high ;)

Happy Shooting!

I am not a "technical" photographer. Sure, I know the rules, but that also means I can break them. And I often break them.

To me, the way a photo *feels* is way more important than whether it's perfectly posed and composed. I shoot for the in-between moments. The ones that pass too quickly if you're not searching for them. The smirk, the laugh, the eyeroll, the loving glance, even the tears. These are the moments that make us who we are.

Those are the moments you'll want to remember. The ones that make you *feel*.

📸 Attention, Midlothian, Virginia! This goofy shutterbug has arrived from the wilds of Alaska and is ready to use her imaginary ice queen magic to freeze your moments in time! *Yes, corny, I know. But also, you're welcome*

📷 Introducing ME, Breanna Mills Photography! But honestly, I'd rather you just call me Bree -one, because I have decided we are friends now, but also because I enjoy saying "Bree-like the cheese, but spelled different." 📷

🌟 Have you ever dreamt of having your memories captured by a photographer who has shot weddings on fishing boats, in sideways rain, snow up to their waist, almost fallen through glacier ice, jumped off float planes onto boat in the middle of the open ocean, slid through salmon guts on commercial fishing boats, scaled mountains with bear spray in her camera bag, rolled through bear and bird crap, and battled mosquitos the size of small birds to capture your memories? Well, dream no more! I have brought my crazy antics and adventurous spirit all the way from the Land of the Midnight Sun to Midlothian, Virginia!

🌻 From the breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan wilderness to the sweeping Virginian landscapes, I have documented the lives of hundreds of families, couples, and adventurers in ways that are true to THEM! My lens has seen glaciers gleaming under the midnight sun, northern lights dancing through the sky, grizzlies prowling through my backyard (which is annoying as hell when you have to clean up the garbage you forgot to bring inside), and is ready to capture your crazy, adventurous soul!

🔥 Whether you're searching for stunning engagement photos with someone who truly understands what it means to feel awkward af in front of a camera and will laugh with you and coach you through it, heartfelt and judgement free family portraits where your child requires 47 bribe snacks and has 8 meltdowns, or a wedding/elopement photog who will be down for pretty much any wild, nerdy, over the top idea you can come up with, I'm your girl! Equipped with my camera, a buttload of stupid jokes, and my inability to do literally anything without tripping over myself, I'll capture those raw, and authentic moments that make you... well YOU. And we will have *the most fun* doing it.

💫 Book your session today and get 25% off for being a rock star *and* one of my very first Virginia clients! Applies everything except wedding day coverage. Offer available if you book a session anytime this summer!

LET'S DO THIS, VIRGINIA! Bring me your awkward, nerdy, weird, neurodivergent, quirky, chaotic, crazy, authentic, and oh so perfect self. Be prepared to witness the magic and hilarity that unfolds when you embrace your full self. Don't miss out on this opportunity! Call 804-610-2084 or visit www.breannamills.com to reserve your spot and let Breanna Mills Photography create some magic🌠

Pssst... also if you want wedding coverage, shoot me a message and I'll hook you up with a little dealy deal also ;)
