WHAT WE DO

PERSONAL BRAND DEVELOPMENT, WITHOUT BURNOUT

The purpose of the coaching aspect of our photography business is to help professionals emerging as public figures balance work, life, and branding - without burnout. As a speaker, course creator, and coach with a background in media communications, lactation counseling, and a deep rooted passion for maternal and child health (MCH), our business has transformed from a simple location photography studio to a full service brand development company for women in entrepreneurship. Building a successful MCH brand without burnout requires strategic focus on your unique individual experiences and an internal alignment with your personal goals for the future.

On a larger scale we provide training, workshops, keynotes, consulting, and goal achievement coaching for high-achieving women who feel unfulfilled or burned out by their success and help them to rediscover self-accountability, setting and achieving goals that align with their core values. Closing these internal gaps not only help these trailblazers full-steam ahead, but it creates the necessary ripple effect needed to have a positive impact on disparities in communities of color for generations to come! 

I am looking to connect with your company's meeting and event planners who are looking to bring in speakers for career advancement to uplift your audience internally. I help women increase their insight, impact, and income in their industry, with a specialization in developing resilience along their journey.

"I signed up for the social media workshop trusting that I would get some practical skills on how to procure visuals for my business. And yes, I got those but what I didn't expect was for Vanessa to give me permission to envision an even bigger and better version of my business. After just an hour, I had an entirely transformed vision that I am still pretty in awe of. I highly recommend Vanessa's courses to any entrepreneur looking to push themselves to the next level. Or in my case, 10 levels!"
