Green Bay, Wisconsin

Maggie and I meet once about every other week for a personal branding session. Each session allows for 2-3 looks at 3-4 locations that are all in close proximity. Doing this many looks and locations within an hour is obtainable because we have pre-shoot communication. Maggie and I discuss the look, mood, and overall tone for the shoot. In addition, I always ask for a mood board so I can see inside her head. These mood boards and conversations also help us decide on the perfect multi purpose location. We are able to achieve many looks during her one hour session and now she’s crushing the social media game. And we have an absolute blast at her Downtown Green Bay branding sessions together.

We have developed a custom preset pack to edit Maggie’s images and have given her mobile presets to match. Now she can edit her own phone images and stay consistent to the mood & style that match our professional edits. This makes for a super consistent and visibly pleasing aesthetic, especially on Instagram.

Using our custom preset pack also gives Maggie’s photos that POP, one will stop people in their tracks when scrolling.

Head over to Instagram for fashion inspiration from the turtleneck queen herself, Maggie Mae.
