How I Help You Stand Out, Show Up, and Sell More
YOUR BRAND CALLED. IT WANTS THIS
- T.S.
I knew I needed branding photos, but I had no idea how much they would level up my entire business. Carrie made me look like a total badass—polished, professional, and completely in my element. Now, when people land on my website, they know I mean business.
- Melanie H.
After Carrie revamped my Instagram profile, my engagement skyrocketed! The new look is cohesive, on-brand, and way more engaging. I've seen a 50% increase in interactions and new followers. Totally worth it!
- Amanda K
I was using DIY product photos for way too long, and it showed. Carrie completely transformed my website with professional, on-brand imagery. The result? A 40% increase in sales and way more customer engagement. If you're still DIY-ing—stop. This investment pays for itself!
- A P
I was lost in my photography business, trying to be everything to everyone. Carrie took one look at my work, asked the right questions, and helped me nail down my style and ideal clients— all in an hour. Now, I’m finally starting to book my dream clients who actually align with my vision.
Pretty photos won’t grow your brand — but strategy-packed visuals will. I’ve been behind the lens since the ‘90s, hold an MFA in photography, and spent over a decade at Kodak before launching Forest Heart, a Northern Virginia branding studio redefining personal brand photography.
I work with bold, high-achieving women — founders, experts, and future powerhouses — who are done playing small. You’ve got the vision. I build the visuals that back it up. Editorial portraits. Killer content. Design that actually converts.
If you’re ready to show up like a CEO and turn heads while doing it? Pull up a chair — I don’t just make you look legit.
I make you impossible to ignore.

Let’s be honest—your captions aren’t just captions. They’re your sales team, brand voice, and 24/7 hype squad. But when you're stuck cycling between “what do I post today?” and “forget it, I’ll post later,” you’re not just losing time—you’re losing bookings.
Whether you’re a photographer, coach, or creative, posting consistently shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. And sounding like every other “hey guys!” business online? That’s not your style. You built something bold—your content should reflect that.
That’s where the Social Content System comes in.
