I shot my first wedding 2 weeks ago. That sentence still feels strange to type because “wedding photographer” was never on my business bingo card. Magnolia Content Studios was built for brand photography, social media content, and business marketing. Weddings? That was someone else’s lane. And then I got the call. Kenya has been one […]

Hey There! Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve talked about Refresh (getting current) and Refine (tightening what matters). Now comes Rebrand.

Hey, friend! Can we talk about something nobody really discusses in those shiny marketing courses? What happens when you’re supposed to show up online, but your brain feels like it’s operating on about 20% battery and your creative energy has completely left the building? Maybe it’s busy season overwhelm, life throwing those delightful curveballs, or […]
