🍦YO - real talk: Does anyone else’s parents have a hard time understanding what your business is? I realized this again during the holidays 🫠 and thought if my parents don’t understand what about my pals online? So I thought I’d make a brief explainer as we go into 2025!

Episode 72: You Don’t Need a Rebrand
Considering rebranding? I get it - I get the urge too. It feels sparkly and fun and fresh BUT it’s a big resource investment.
In this episode, I dive into 4 things you should look at before rebranding.
Your brand foundations are so KEY. Could you just more clearly communicate your mission, vision, and values?
Check out the full episode for three other avenues to explore before rebranding.

Unpopular opinion from a brand studio: you don’t need a rebrand.
What if you told people why you’re different: how you solve their problem better, how you specialize in what they care about, and how your history gives you a leg#brandcoaching #brandphotographysanfrancisco #up? Try that and worry about a new color palette later.
POV: “Wait… I get to do this as a job?”
That was the feeling working on this project for my friend @christianhuang .
Christian is a Bay Area movement maker.
As the Chaplain for the @sfgiants , Executive Director of @mobilizelove , and Founder of Wholehearted Sports, he spends his life helping people activate their faith.
Our challenge wasn’t *what* he was doing.
It was how to *synthesize* it all.
During our brand strategy sessions, a unifying thread 🧵 emerged: Christian helps people leverage their lives toward flourishing.
Once we had that language, everything started to click.
The goal of his website became simple:
Create a landing page where people could quickly understand his work and find a way to serve alongside him.
Because when Christian meets someone, the question often becomes:
“How do I stay connected to what you’re doing?”
Now there’s a clear place for that.
Working on this project was especially fun because Christian is a Bay Area native.
We asked questions like:
• How do we show San Francisco without feeling cliché?
• How do we build a personal brand that isn’t self-centered?
• How do we capture someone who is both incredibly chill and incredibly wise when it comes to people and leadership?
Strategy and copywriting were fun.
But what really energized me was helping create a starting point so more people can step into the work Christian is already inviting them into.
Lately I’ve been paying attention to projects that give me energy.
This was one of them.
Thanks Christian for trusting me with your story.
I can’t wait to see the people you help activate their faith.
Curious what it looks like to build a values-driven personal brand? Take a look at Christian’s new site christianhuang.com
Are you a brand that’s considering launching your own membership/community?
Here’s the hard truth: It’s not about you.
I chatted with the brilliant mind behind the Bootstrap Biz Advice community (with an over 87k following on YT) @lashondambrown who gave us the secret behind community building: co-creating.

My new website is live. 💫
Tifferently is official.
I started my own photography business and this feels like stepping fully into who I’ve been becoming for a long time.
This branding is not just a logo or a color palette. It’s me. The color. The warmth. The movement. The joy. The way I see the world and the way I photograph it.
I could not be more thrilled with how everything came together. Endless gratitude to @comeplum and @madelinewiggins.co for bringing this vision to life so beautifully. You truly understood me.
Go take a look around. The new site is live at the link in my bio. I’d love to know what you think.
We’re just getting started. ❤️

Sis, I know you feel good with your hand on the hip BUT there are more ways to accentuate the waist than that go-to pose.
Here are a few ideas:
-thumb in pocket
-4 fingers in the pocket
-hand on belt loop
-hand on lapel
-hand in jacket pocket
-hand placed on back hip
A variety of poses will give you more dimension in your photoshoot gallery. Hope this gives you confidence to step in front of the camera more! 💋 xoxo #photoposingtraining #posingtips #brandphotography #brandphotographersf #brandphotographerforwomen
*When your vision board and your life start to merge*
A few weeks ago, I had the joy of being on the panel at @bewellcraft ’s Fresh Start event with @elainerhayes@kamellemills@kristalavrusik where we chatted about reinvention. The consensus? Align with your values, go where the energy is, and make life decisions where you feel like a 10.
The rest of this carousel kind of fits that whole vibe.
