VIP Sessions

One-day design intensives for photographers who need focused, expert support—fast.

These sessions are ideal for smaller-scope projects where clear direction, fast implementation, and collaboration make all the difference.

01/ VIP Website Polish

Tighten up your existing site so it looks, feels, and performs like it should.

Perfect for photographers with a working website that needs a strategic tune-up—not a full redesign.

    • Homepage or key page redesign

    • Layout fixes, hierarchy, and flow improvements

    • Booking journey and mobile experience

    • Light CSS polish to elevate visuals

    • UX and conversion tweaks that make a real difference

    • Your site is live, but something feels off

    • You’re not booking as consistently as you should be

    • You want structure and visual clarity—not a full rebuild

    • You built your site yourself, and it’s almost there


      ⚠︎  If your site needs foundational design or a full refresh, we’ll likely get better results through a Signature Service.

  • How much can we really get done in one day?

    A lot. We’ll focus on the highest-impact pages and keep momentum going.

    Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

    Yes—I’ll send a short prep checklist so we hit the ground running.

    What if I’m not sure which service I need?

    That’s exactly what the application is for—I’ll recommend the format that gives you the best results.

Pricing: $800 USD
Timeline: 1 day

02/ VIP Brand Refresh 

A visual upgrade for photographers who want consistency and polish—without starting from scratch.

This session is for photographers who already have branding in place but know it’s not quite working. We’ll spend the day refining your color palette, typography, and logo system so your visual presence actually matches the quality of your work.

    • Updated color palette + font pairing

    • Simplified or refined logo (based on your existing mark)

    • Branded visual hierarchy and consistency

    • Mini brand guide for digital use

    • Export-ready files for web, social, and Squarespace

    • You already have a logo and brand but it feels inconsistent

    • Your visuals don’t reflect your current style or work quality

    • You’ve shifted your niche or editing style but your brand hasn’t caught up

    • You want a professional update, not a full brand strategy session


      ⚠︎ If you’re repositioning your brand, starting from scratch, or feel unsure about your overall direction, you’ll get stronger results from the full Brand Identity package.

  • Will I get new logos and brand files?

    Yes. We’ll refine or simplify what you already have—then deliver updated logos, colors, and typography in formats you can use across platforms.

    Can I combine this with other services?

    Yes—many clients book this ahead of a VIP Website Polish or a full Signature Website build.

  • What’s the difference between a VIP Brand Refresh and the Full Brand Identity package?

    VIP Brand Refresh is designed to elevate what’s already in place. If you’ve got a logo and a sense of your style, but things feel slightly off, this one-day session helps refine and align everything visually.

    It’s a polish—not a full rebuild.

    Full Brand Identity is a multi-week strategic process where we define your visual direction from the ground up. It includes deep brand discovery, multiple design rounds, and a complete system that supports long-term growth.

    If you’re changing direction, unsure about your positioning, or starting from scratch, the full package is what you need.

Pricing: $800 USD
Timeline: 1 day

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which service is right for me?

If you’re starting from scratch or your current brand/website feels completely off, you’ll likely need a Signature Service. If your visuals are strong but need focused updates, a VIP Session might be enough. We’ll confirm the right fit during your application.

Do you work with photographers or creatives outside of the US?

Yes. I work with photographers and creatives worldwide. Time zones are no problem—we’ll set clear timelines and feedback windows to keep things moving.

What will I need to provide before we start?

Content (images, copy unless you book the add-on), your brand files if you have them, and timely feedback. You’ll also complete my prep guide so we’re starting with a clear direction.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Standard is 50% upfront and 50% at launch, but we can break this into up to 4 payments for larger projects.

Can you add e-commerce and member areas?

Yes. These are quoted separately since scope varies. Most e-commerce setups start at $1,000 on top of your base package.
