Clocking in & clocking out might be foreign terms to you at this point, but if you’re a business owner, you know the reality is that it’s easy to always be “on.”

If you’re feeling stuck “clocked in” to your business, go back to this question:

Why did you start your business?

Maybe you wanted more time, more money, more peace. Whatever it was, you knew there was more for you to experience.

Remember the version of you that was bold enough to take the leap to start your business? Bold enough to even admit you wanted more?

What if you tapped into that version of you so you could “clock out” a bit more this year?

Maybe you can run paid ads, update your website, or send scheduled emails to make more sales this year.

But before you get into any of that, can you do that without photos that reflect the business you’ve grown?

You could use stock photos. You could keep using that same headshot over & over again.

OR…

With fresh photos, you could stop relying on your words to do the talking.

You get to let the images show that you’re the expert worth hiring.

You can visually show people what working with YOU is like.

That’s what I want for more female entrepreneurs this year:

Photos that show off who you are, so you can enjoy the business AND the life you’ve built. 🤍

I almost said I’m here for when I’m ready, but I’m here for you before you’re ready too.

Let’s talk through what’s holding you back from showing off all that you’ve built! DM me any time.

p.s. posted this format the other day & I was so inspired to show both sides of life!

On a call with a potential client today, she said jokingly,
“I barely have any time to p*e during the day.”

She’s busy.

She’s got 3 kids at home and a business to run.

And like you, she doesn’t have time to do everything she *thinks* she needs to do for her photoshoot.

What if you didn’t have to pull together a Pinterest board, book a studio, find hair & makeup artists, and come up with your outfit ideas from scratch just to have your photos taken?

What if you hired a guide who was with you every step of the way, leading with strategy that helps marketing your business feel easier?

That’s exactly what Lina experienced. (Swipe through to see more!)

If you’re ready for a photo shoot that feels enjoyable and doesn’t add 1000 things to your plate, comment BRAND to get started!

I truly believe you can have confidence that shines through your photos.

Try these steps to feel more confident
(no ab workouts required)

🤍 remind yourself why you started your business

🤍 write down all the brave things you’ve done along the way

🤍celebrate the wins you’ve had

🤍dream about the wins you will have when you start showing up for your business

Don’t let your inner mean girl keep you from achieving those dreams.

Send me a DM if this hit home for you today.
I’m here for you!

Huge update: my new website is live! fellowscreative.com

Here’s a huge thanks to all the women who helped make it come to life 🥂

for the incredible vision + design of this site!!

for all the photos & videos of me (yes, photographers need photographers too 🤣)

for the new colors that look stunning with my autumn outfits (I will forever love )
with.ashley for teaching me the skills to make this site findable!
renders + for teaching me how to write and speak in a way that connects

& .rei for being the models during my photo shoot

for a logo I’ve loved for years now

and countless others for teaching me how to serve well while building a life I love

Last but not least: My mom & grandma for running businesses of their own & showing me I can do the same

I’m sure I’m forgetting someone (namely all my friends & family who I want to thank for moral support) but this is the point: surround yourself with women doing incredible things & you’ll find yourself doing them too. 🤎

Does your brand feel like a pile of pieces that don’t fit together? ⬇️ This is for you!

Marketing your business doesn’t have to feel like a tough puzzle every single day. Ashley’s story is proof that it can feel seamless, even if you feel scattered right now.

Here are 3 reflection questions to help you put the pieces together more easily this year:

1. What do I want potential clients to feel when they see my photos?

2. Who am I as a business owner & do my photos show the growth I’ve had?

3. Do my photos represent the business I run today?

If your photos haven’t grown with you as you’ve invested in your business, scaled it, and made more money than ever before… it’s time for an upgrade.

DM me REFRESH if you’re ready to book your February photo shoot!

Picture this… You make goals to refresh your website & show up more on social media this year. You start searching for inspiration & find photos like this. 😍

At that point, you could take 1 of 3 paths that I’ve been learning about this week in ’s challenge:

💥Reaction // A trend pops up and you panic post that old selfie again, kicking yourself that “get new photos” is still on your to-do list.

🌀Inaction // Your Pinterest board? Stunning. Your search history? Full of inspiration. BUT… You get so caught up in worrying about what people may think that you don’t post, don’t book a shoot, and stay quiet online for another year.

📈Bold Action // You reach out to a photographer, experience your photo shoot, and receive a full bank of photos to pull from any time you want to post. You love how the photos turned out & you’re certain that sharing them will draw in more aligned clients this year!

The bonus: your confidence grows as you finally check that item off your to-do list.

Instead of getting caught in indecision or panic, what if you chose to take bold actions this year?

What results could that decision create for your business? 👀

12 months. 12 words.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been great at picking 1 word for the year.

My years lately have been full of too much change to be captured by 1 word. So here’s my 12!

If you’re like me, you’ve learned a ton this year. Running a business full-time comes with a lot of lessons and a lot of growth. It’s wonderful and hard and the best thing ever all at once.

Spend a little time this week reflecting on all you’ve learned. It’s probably more than you’re giving yourself credit for.

Here’s to a 2026 full of more incredible shoots with more business owners I adore!

Happy Small Business Saturday!

One of my very favorite parts of being a branding photographer is getting to meet and photograph so many incredible business owners. Hearing your stories, your ideas, and your heart behind your work never gets old.

I always tell people I work with the coolest clients. That includes play therapists, neuonutritionists, ADHD coaches, hairstylists, after-loss professionals, designers, real estate agents… and truly, so many more. I learn about a new industry almost every single week, and I love it so much.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me, for supporting a small business like mine, and for being brave enough to run one yourself. You’re impacting your community in such meaningful ways, and it’s an honor to capture what you do.

And to everyone else, shop small today (and every day you can). It matters. 🫶🏻

Here’s what I learned from that experience:

1️⃣ Do it scared. As says in her book, you can choose a familiar hell or an unfamiliar heaven.

2️⃣ You may not feel “ready” for whatever your next step is, but if you’re ready to move on from your current situation, ask yourself which investments can help you get there faster.

3️⃣ It’s okay if it feels scary. That’s how you know it matters.

Here’s to doing it scared & watching it pay off!! 🥂

If your business had a “spa day,” what would it need most right now? A refresh? A reset? A new start for 2026?

Today I booked my website redesign with and even though we won’t start until January, it already feels so good to have that “update website” box checked.

It’s not finished (we haven’t even started!), but it’s in progress and that little bit of movement has completely re-energized me for what’s ahead, just like a spa day does!

If you’ve been craving a refresh too, maybe it’s time to take one small step toward your next chapter, like finally refreshing your website or scheduling your brand photos.

When we plan your shoot, here are 3 things I’ll ask you about - they always end up inspiring so many next steps in business:

✨ What are your goals for 2026? Let’s create photos that line up with where you’re headed, not just where you are.

✨ Who is your ideal client? We’ll think about what she’s looking for so your images connect instantly.

✨ What do you want to communicate to her? Your visuals should make your message feel clear before anyone even reads a word.

That’s the power of photos that feel like you. They don’t just tell your story, they remind you of what you’re building next and WHO you’re building it all for.

So if “update website” has been on your list all year, this is your sign.

Reach out to the web designer you’ve been eyeing.

Reach out to the photographer (hi!) who can help you step into your next season with confidence and clarity.

There are still 9 weeks left in this year, giving you plenty of time to take one small step that gets you inspired and ready to hit the ground running in 2026. 🚀
