Why me
I came up on the agency side.
For more than ten years I worked in advertising and creative operations, running campaigns and production for brands like Discovery Channel, L'Oréal, Calvin Klein, Coty, and TripAdvisor. My job was making creative work perform: on brief, on deadline, and in market. I have a communications degree with a marketing minor and twenty years behind a camera on top of that.
What that means for you is one person who can see the whole picture. Most small businesses hire a web designer who does not understand their brand, a photographer who does not understand their marketing, and a social media person who has never seen either. I do all of it, so it holds together.
What I do
Four ways to work together.
Start with one. Most clients end up combining two or three, and I price the bundle to reflect that.
01
Website Design
A website that looks like your business, not a template.
Custom-built, fast, and yours to keep. I handle design, copy, the photography that fills it, search setup, and getting it live on your domain. No monthly platform fee holding your site hostage, and no drag-and-drop builder look.
- Custom design in your brand, built from scratch
- Copywriting for every page
- Mobile-first, fast-loading, and accessible
- On-page SEO and Google Business Profile setup
- Contact forms, booking links, and analytics wired up
- Launch on your domain, plus a walkthrough so you can update it
From $750
Most builds land between $750 and $3,000 depending on page count, copywriting, and whether you need photography. Search setup is included in every build. I quote the whole project up front, so there are no surprises.

Content Shoots & Filming
Weeks of posts, filmed in one afternoon.
A shoot day built for volume: b-roll, short video, and photos designed to be cut into Reels, stories, and posts. We shoot at your location, and you leave with everything organized and ready to publish.
- Two hour session at your location
- A mix of video b-roll and stills
- Content delivered organized and ready to post
- Full commercial usage rights
- Book standalone, or get it included in a monthly retainer
$550 per two hour session
Half-day and full-day rates available for larger libraries. Ask and I will quote it.

Branding Photography

- 90 minute session at your location
- Wide shots, detail shots, and portraits
- 50 retouched images
- Full commercial licensing for web, social, print, and ads
- All natural light, shot on location

Included at a reduced rate when bundled with a website build or a monthly retainer.

Google Ads Management
$250 per month plus ad spend
Search campaign setup, keyword and ad copy development, conversion tracking, and ongoing optimization. I run my own Search campaigns for this business, so this is not theory. Google Business Profile setup and local search work can be bundled in.
The Reels Lesson
90 minutes, $250
A one-on-one working session where you learn to plan, film, and edit a Reel on your own phone, in your own voice. We cover hooks, calls to action, repurposing what you already have, and using AI for planning without sounding like AI wrote it. You leave with a finished Reel.
Email Marketing
Quoted per project
Newsletter setup, template design, welcome sequences, and the writing to go with them. Usually paired with a website build or a monthly retainer.
Brand & Content Strategy
Quoted per project
A working session or short engagement to sort out positioning, messaging, and where your content belongs. Useful before you spend money on a site or on ads.
This is for you if…
-
You run a local business and your website has been embarrassing you for a while now
-
You want one person handling the site, the photos, and the posting instead of coordinating three
-
You know you should be running ads but do not want to hand a card to an agency and hope
-
You want work that holds up next to an agency's, from someone who will pick up the phone
-
You would rather spend one day a month on content than five hours a week

FAQ
What determines where a website lands in the $750 to $3,000 range?
Page count first, then how much copywriting you need, then whether the build includes a photo shoot. A clean three or four page site for a service business, with copy you mostly have already, sits near the bottom. A larger site with full copywriting, a photo shoot, and ads setup sits near the top. Search setup is included either way. I quote the whole project before we start.
Who owns the website when it is done?
You do. It lives on your domain and your hosting, and I walk you through updating it yourself. There is no monthly fee to me just to keep your site online.
Why is there a minimum on social media management?
Because anything less does not work. Below that level I am posting without strategy behind it, which wastes your money and my time. The $1,000 minimum covers real planning, real editing, and enough volume to move something.
Are content shoots included in the monthly fee?
Yes. The monthly retainer covers the content shooting your feed needs that month, so you are not getting a separate shoot invoice on top of it. That is a big part of what the $1,000 minimum is paying for. If you want a larger standalone library built in one go, that is a separate quote, but the regular monthly shooting is in.
Is SEO included, or is it extra?
It is built into every site I build, at no extra cost. That means page titles and descriptions, one clear keyword per page carried through the headings and image alt text, clean fast-loading code, and your Google Business Profile set up and connected. I am not going to hand you a beautiful site that nobody can find.
Can you just do one thing?
Yes. Plenty of clients start with a website and never need anything else, or book a single content shoot and take it from there. Nothing here requires you to buy the rest of it.
Do you work with clients outside Asheville?
Website design, ads, and social media management all work remotely, so yes. Photography and content shoots need me on location, and I travel for those, including to Tulum where I photograph regularly.
How do we start?
Send me a note about your business and what is not working. I will come back with a recommendation and a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Send me a note about your business and where it is stuck. I will tell you honestly what I think would move it, and what it would cost.
02
Social Media Management
Someone who runs it for you, month after month.
Strategy, calendar, captions, edits, and publishing, with the shooting built in. I plan around your launches and your season, come out and capture what we need, and keep the account moving so it stops being the thing you feel guilty about on Sunday night.
From $1,000 per month
Minimum engagement is $1,000 per month, and that covers the content shooting your feed needs each month. No separate shoot invoices on top of the retainer.
