ABOUT DORIE

You need great images for your business.  I say this over and over to people that I meet in professional and social situations.  Gone are the days that you can get away with slapping a picture of you at a bar b que on your professional social media and expect that it will bring in business for you.  (Unless you are a pit boss, looking to promote your new restaurant)  People know the difference, even if you crop out your friends on either side.  

If you are in the business of needing to attract people to you as a salesperson, brand, service provider, or entrepreneur, you can't expect that old, outdated, images are going to do what you want them to anymore.  That might have been the case 10 years ago, but no longer.  People want to see  updated images of the people who they might want to hire or work with.  They want to know that you are good enough at your profession that you take care of the little things as well as the big things.  A LOT is riding on the image you put out into the world.

That is where I come in.

You are a busy professional.  You NEED great images to put on your website, social media, in proposals, or online materials.  BUT you hate taking pictures AND you hate getting ready to take pictures.  An more than that, you hate pausing your day and schedule for something that you really aren't even sure is going to move the needle that much in your business.

I can tell you one thing.  I used to be you.  UNTIL, I finally bit the bullet and started showing my face in my marketing and proposals.  I can't tell you what it did for my businesses.  I want that for YOU!

Let me make this easy for you.  You need great images and I know all the things needed to create those images.  I will give you easy to use checklists of what to bring, maps to where you need to go, and even access to the stylist and make up artist to make you look great.  We will create a plan for what you need THEN have a great time putting that plan in action. 

You NEED great images in your business, no matter what business you are in.  And I am just the person to help you get them.
