I believe headshots can look good AND do good. For every $50 Headshots for Hope mini you book (donate), Northern Illinois Food Bank  can turn it into $400 of food for those in need in our community.

To grab your 10-minute slot or give straight to the cause, comment HOPE and I’ll send the link.

Interesting in donating canned goods and/or shelf-stable food? Drop-off hours at The Studio will be announced soon!

It makes me wonder: how many of us hold ourselves back because we’re waiting for certainty, the perfect timing, the extra money, the 100% guaranteed outcome? What magic never gets a chance to unfold because we stay in maybe, instead of yes?

So here’s my encouragement for you (and for myself): pay attention to the invitations in front of you. The ones that feel aligned, even if they also feel uncomfortable or inconvenient. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is whisper yes, even when you’re not sure how it will all work out.

That yes might just be the start of a story you can’t imagine yet.

One of my favorite parts about offering both photo + video is watching them work together.
There’s something powerful about seeing the movement in a clip and then freezing that same moment in a photo. The story feels fuller, the energy is captured from every angle. ✨it’s magic.✨
Same moment. Two ways of seeing it. Which one pulls you in more??
