Thought it’s about time I re-introduce myself. 

For the last 5 months, I’ve been working on my redoing my brand and website. And finally, it’s done. I do a lot more than just take photos. I also help businesses big + small create a visual strategy that feels authentic, tells a story, and has soul. Photos are what gets people’s attention; strategy is what gets them as customers.

I got a publication to pick up my boyfriend’s restaurant with just one Instagram post. That same post generated multiple walk-ins who said “hey I saw that post” and had to come in. 

I compared the same post, one using creative strategy and one without, to get completely different results. This is why creative strategy matters. If you’re a business and you don’t have a strategy when posting your content, then you’re wasting money and missing out on opportunities. 

Now I’m not a social media guru. I can’t tell you what’s trending or what audio is going viral, but I can help create a brand voice, look, and feel that tells a story and converts customers. If you’ve ever hired a photographer and find yourself wondering why those photos aren’t bringing you sales, then you don’t have the right strategy. Luckily, I can help. taken in Wrigley Field by @kimkovacik

I spent the first quarter of this year redoing my website, my offerings, and business plan. After 7 years of doing this full time, I found myself operating on autopilot. This year, I was finally able to step back and take a hard look at what’s working and what needs to change. It was a lot of uncomfortable reflection, but I’m so proud to say, it’s paying off in ways I never expected. 

Excited to finally get out of my own way and continue to build a business that fits around my life (not the other way around). 

Thanks to those who’ve been along for the ride. Check the link in bio for the new era✨

Last month I got to attend @worldclassus - a bartender competition that brought together the best bartenders in the country to compete for the title of US Bartender of the Year. I photographed @diageo booth for @obanwhisky and @lagavulinwhisky with the help of the lovely folks at @wpp_production_ 

Here’s a few snaps from the day. Thanks to all the folks who made this one possible🥃✨ taken in Navy Pier by @kimkovacik

So I’ve been helping with the creative endeavours at @rendangrepublic - building the brand with creative strategy, storytelling and ultimately, just coming up with weird ideas I think are cool. The latest being this collab with @layerschicago . It started with a random shower thought, turned into writing on a hotdog with mustard, then dousing the Layers team in mozzarella and finally having the event today. 

Come to Rendang Republic today from 11-9pm and check out the Layers pop-up. There will over 100 vintage pieces, mystery boxes and a chicken parm hotdog that lowkey goes pretty hard. 

Swipe for behind the scenes. taken in Rendang Republic by @kimkovacik

In the name of looking professional, most brands use a generic tone, over-designed layouts, and the same bland imagery as everyone else. It may look right but nothing feels true. Nothing connects on the human level. 

With all this AI slop, what’s the best way to make your brand stand out? Be real. Be HUMAN. Show your authentic self. Now, there’s a lot of different ways to do this, but this is how I did it for @panerabread 

If you’re looking for a content strategy that isn’t just the same stale, generic one as everyone else, let’s talk.
