Branding &

Products


Working with Brands is a wonderful experience and a great way to help small businesses and their owners grow visually! I love making connections with other businesses, just like Mother Figure. A business that not only supports Mothers with help blogs but creates the most supportive and confidence boosting nursing/pumping bras. I had the wonderful opportunity as Mother myself to photograph a few of their products and have my photography be featured on their website.
