Visual Storytelling for Small Businesses
While I enjoy all kinds of photography from portraits to family, the kind of projects I feel the most passionate about is visual storytelling for small businesses and entrepreneurs. I love finding out about their passion, life story and personality to create a compelling set of visuals that reflect who they are.
Over the past two years, I got to meet a number of incredible small businesses through my consultancy work with The Acceleration Project, a women-led advisory group. The Westchester-based non-profit pools together experienced female professionals to consult under-served businesses, particularly women and minority-owned enterprises. When Covid-19 hit, the organization has ramped up their capacity and played a vital role helping hundreds of small businesses owners navigate through the crisis. Here are just a few images of the businesses owners we’ve worked with.

MY PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE
My goal in visual storytelling photography is to help small businesses tell their unique story in a way that sets them apart. Compelling marketing photography will raise the value of your brand in the eyes of potential clients. If you are looking for a photographer who doesn't just point a camera but can help identify the most compelling aspects of your business and distill them into a visual story, I would love to be of help.
