v | designer + photographer

my new website went live on monday!!!!! 🤠🪩 i really wanted my site to not only be a vibe but to feel like a fun lil interactive experience with easy to find info. 🤓 sharing some tidbits here but take a full peek and let me know what you think 🧚 (link in my bio!) __________________ special shoutout to: @olivest_studio for a codebook that absolutely slays and made my site fab instead of drab what an ICON 💅 @annakophoto for all of my gorgeous brand photos. 🤌🏼 @iambeccaluna // @wealthywebdesigner for the incredible courses, community, and motivation that turned my passion into reality. 🪩🫶🏼

new year, new v 💫🪩 & my new year’s resolution is to step into alignment (but it’s more like running… with my hands full… and then my shirt does that weird thing where it catches on the door handle 😆) 10 months ago i did some serious soul searching because i had a witchy feeling that there was something more out there for me. something new, something different. something that allowed me to use my rare gift of discernment while also fueling my creativity 🔮 turns out i was never ~just~ a photographer!!!! *gasp* i was the gal seeing the gaps in people’s online presence & systems, connecting the dots, and brainstorming how i could leave things better than the way i found them. 🤌🏼 i’m trusting the gift that was given to me. the gift that allows me to see people deeply & immediately recognize when the vibes are off. [insert studio v] 🧡🪩✨ a design & operations studio working within every facet of your business to bring you clarity through: 🪩 branding 🪩 website design 🪩 copywriting 🪩 custom templates/guides 🪩 crm workflow/automations set up and of course, photography stays 🫶🏼 - though i’m still photographing weddings & always will, i’m only accepting an extremely limited amount each year - i’m freaking pumped to share my new launch with you to kick off a super lit 2026. stay tuned for my full website drop coming to you live on monday!!!! 🖤 LFGGGGGG!!!! 🧚 ________________ photos taken by @annakophoto + edited by me 🤌🏼

we went from a super basic website 👉🏼 a site that feels just like abby’s old soul! 👵 abby really wanted her brand & website to feel warm, cozy & nostalgic while remaining clean & refined. we leaned in with lace, textured backgrounds, pixel elements/floral (bc HELLO lowkey video gamer gal! 👾), and a handwritten font that quite literally looks like grandma’s. 🫶🏼 such slay proof that having an elevated look does NOT mean sacrificing personality. ☝🏼🤓 i only have two design spots open for the summer, who’s next?!?! 😱

blending in will get you overlooked in your industry 🥀 people buy from people they TRUST. strategizing how your unique personality and magic shows up in your brand is cri-ti-cal 👏🏼 to differentiating yourself from your competitors!!!! playing things safe is making you forgettable. & we don’t play things safe when it comes to running our businesses here 🗣️ showcase that unique magic!!!! if you’re a small biz owner/service provider looking to level tf up in order to book dream clients that truly value you DM me 👀

some would call that jimmy john’s freaky fast ⚡️ everything i do, i do it in one week. why? because we all have places to be, people to see and no time to overthink & spiral. 🤠 (i also have ADD but this post isn’t about me it’s about your brand & website that need a MAAAAJOR overhaul) i’m booking summer spots for: 🪩 brand in a week 🪩 website in a week & you know what… you can also do both. 😏 let’s yap about it in DMs!!!!!

a website revamp for @katherine.bowes just in time for spring 🌺💫 a balance between modern, fun & unique was the assignment aaaand i think we nailed it yo. betta run to to take a peek and get an instant mood boost bc SHE’S CUTE AF!!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️👀 **i did not design her branding, that was all @laura.anne.creative ’s doing 🪩😍

& if you know me at all you know my birthday is one of the most important days of the year to me. 🍾 not really for the reason you would think… Not many people know this about me but there was a time where I almost didn’t see my 22nd birthday, and every subsequent birthday after that has been nothing short of a celebration to me. A celebration of another year of truly living, learning, reflecting, and growing into the person I’m meant to be. This year tested me in ways I never thought possible. I struggled with mystery illnesses, triggered an autoimmune condition, struggled with my OCD & sobriety, watched people close to me experience tragedy & terrible news, and truly questioned at times “WhaT Tf Is LiFe” 🤠✌🏼 My twenties taught me resilience… and that through all of the heaping piles of shit life can be sometimes you can still come out smiling, with a zest for life stronger than the year before. ⚡️ I owe year 29 to my friends, an incredible child (I did that sh*t!!!! 🥹) and an amazing partner— all who dragged my ass across the finish line because there was no way I could have done it on my own. Here’s to my thirties… where I know life will be a little sweeter to me. I’ve earned it. 🖤
