Do you feel like you never know how to post about yourself on social media? Get out of your office and go somewhere you love! Whether that's a hike in your favorite state park, a cup of coffee, or a long drive in the country, capture yourself doing what makes you come alive. Let your customers connect with you, not just with the products that you offer! . . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #marketingsavvy #brandingtips #marketingtips #socialmediamarketing
Another favorite tip for product photography is to add texture into your shot. You can do this in a few different ways: 1. Choose a textured background for your photo. It could be anything: a kitchen towel, an old curtain, a firm sofa cushion. 2. Introduce other items into the background: A textured scarf, a wooden coaster, etc. 3. Add in a little visual texture: In this photo, the newspaper text acts as visual texture, giving interest without adding distractions! Grab your products and a few items from around your office or house and get to shooting a fantastic product photo!
Your headshot is the first essential image to have in your marketing arsenal. It can be used on your website, social media profiles, and even in newsletters or flyers. A good headshot is versatile and unique. You need a memorable photo that you can use over and over! If you're tired of trying to get a decent selfie or if you've been using a photo that's several years old, send me a message to book headshots that help you to stand out from the crowd! . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #headshot #headshotphotographer #oregonbrandingphotography
How about a little Friday introduction? Hi! I'm Marilla! I'm 28, married to the love of my life, and mama to an adorable little 9 month old boy. I have been a photographer since college a decade ago (how did I get so old?!) and I love to collaborate with my clients to help their business shine! I have a lot of plants and would love to own a greenhouse one day. There is fine line between accidentally killing my plants and resurrecting them back to life... I love them, but they don't always love me! Sweet, carb laden snacks are my kryptonite and when the baking urge hits, I don't often say no. 😅 Tell me something about yourself! What's your favorite snack? Do you have plants that you treat like children too? 🙈 . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer
Do you struggle to display your products online? My favorite tip is to add someone's hand in the shot! Having someone holding or using your product is an easy way to add a human element to your images. When potential customers see someone else interacting with your product, they're far more likely to feel connected to it. So, grab a friend or set your camera on a timer and take a quick product photo that's guaranteed to stop their scroll! . . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer
Do you remember when you first knew what you wanted to do with your life? I have wanted to be artist ever since I was tiny and in high school, my little point and shoot camera was my constant companion. I still remember the thousands of photos of flowers, my feet, and craft projects. When I took my first film photography class in college, I was blown away... not by my incredible innate talent, but by how amazing all my classmates were! It was so hard to realize how much I had to learn. Still, the realization that I was capable of creating amazing imagery made me want to pursue that passion for the rest of my life! Over a decade later, and I have photographed clients from all over the world, yet every day, I am still stunned and humbled by my urge to create something beautiful. When did you realize you were meant to create something special? . . . . . . #ig_artistry #pnwphotographer #oregonphotographer #floralstyling #communityovercompetition #underthefloralspell #floralphotography #floralinspiration #contemporaryphotographer #artofvisuals #willamettevalleyphotographer #dsfloral #darlingescapes #thesincereststoryteller #themindfulapproach #corvallisphotographer #brandingphotographer #albanyorphotographer #igstillife #travelphotography #instadaily #sheisnotlost #whereiroam #fromwhereistand #poppyblossoms #stilllife #floralescape #botanical #florallove
Take a deep breath! You made it through the first week of 2021. Maybe you have amazing plans for this year, or maybe you're still figuring out what this new year will look like. Either way, your business can only get better from today forward! . . . . . #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #influencerphotographer #lifestylephotographer #ig_artistry #lifestyle #mindful #themindfulapproach #thesincereststoryteller #storyteller #artofvisuals #inspiration #oph #chasinglight #simplejoys #oregonphotographer #agameoftones #albanyorphotographer #corvallisphotographer #pnwphotographer #coffeeshopvibes #willamettevalleyphotographer #portlandphotographer #oregonbranding #oregonbrandingphotographer
Have you made any big shifts in your business in the new year? I want to hear about them! Are you excited about your business moving forward? Nervous? Instead of big changes, I've made a small yet monumental one... instead of cramming in work time at every possible moment, I'm acknowledging the season I'm in: full time mom, part-time entrepreneur. It's freeing to put aside the shame of not being all things to all people! What is the biggest change you've made for your business in 2021? . . . . . #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #influencerphotographer #lifestylephotographer #ig_artistry #lifestyle #mindful #themindfulapproach #thesincereststoryteller #storyteller #artofvisuals #inspiration #oph #chasinglight #simplejoys #oregonphotographer #agameoftones #albanyorphotographer #corvallisphotographer #pnwphotographer #willamettevalleyphotographer #portlandphotographer #oregonbranding #oregonbrandingphotographer
What's your why in 2021? Who ...or what... drives your passions? My sweet son Peter is my full time job and joy. He is the reason I work hard to help support my family, but also the reason this darling photography business is only part time. So, if you don't receive a DM response immediately, don't stress... it will come! This year, I am choosing to be more intentional with my work time, which means that when I'm not at work, I'm also not available online. This precious boy deserves my full attention and so do you! Any emails or DM's should be returned on a weekly basis. Happy working, friends! . . . . . #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #influencerphotographer #lifestylephotographer #ig_artistry #lifestyle #mindful #themindfulapproach #thesincereststoryteller #storyteller #artofvisuals #inspiration #oph #chasinglight #simplejoys #oregonphotographer #agameoftones #albanyorphotographer #corvallisphotographer #pnwphotographer #momboss #mama #willamettevalleyphotographer #portlandphotographer #oregonbranding #oregonbrandingphotographer
My beloved husband turned the big 3-0, so we hid away for the weekend in the Colombia Gorge, sipping endless cups of coffee. We were even treated to a little snowfall on our last morning! I’m signing off for the holidays, but I’ll be back in the new year with a lot of exciting changes for @marilla.kay.photography! Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year, sweet friends!
The fog was showing up for us in this sweet maternity session! . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #marketingsavvy #digitalmarketing #womeninbusiness #maternityphotos
If you could eat ANYTHING, what would you pick for a favorite meal? My husband and I love charcuterie boards... nothing beats a few good cheeses in my mind, I mean c'mon, I can taste just taste the gorgeous crystals of an aged gouda, mhmmm! . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #marketingsavvy #branding #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #womeninbusiness #charcuterie #charcuterieboard #cheeseboard #favoritefood
I will always consider it a beautiful privilege to watch you in your element and do what you love! The best part of my job is seeing my clients pursue their dreams with beautiful passion... and I get to be a small part of it. I love it, I love it, I love it!!! . . . . . #albanyorphotographer #personalbranding #personalbrandingphotographer #albanyoregonphotographer #albanyoregon #portraitphotographer #corvallisphotographer #salemphotographer #pnwphotographer #portlandphotographer #lebanonoregonphotographer #jeffersonoregonphotographer #brandingphotographer #businessphotographer #marketingsavvy #branding #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #womeninbusiness
Last year, my husband and I started a tradition of getting a permit to cut our own Christmas tree in the forest and I love the whole experience of it. It was so sweet to share in the experience this year with my family and my sweet son! 🎄 What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Looking into the coming year like... Starting a new calendar year doesn't change our circumstances, but it is an opportunity for a fresh start! This month, how are you preparing for next year?
