Stock photos are witness protection for your brand. You're hiding in plain sight. Stop. Your unique story can't be told with actors faking it for the camera. Be you. Always. #PersonalBrand #VisualStorytelling #Authenticity #MarketingStrategy #ContentCreation #delivermagic

When you look like everyone else, sound like everyone else, and present yourself like everyone else, you become no one special to anyone specific. Be uniquely you - you’re a one of one. #VisualStorytelling #yeahabsolutely #sharemagicalideas #delivermagic #personalbrand

You may be the most: - Educated - Experienced - Credentialed - Trustworthy expert in your space-but if your photos blend into the background like beige-colored walls, no one is going to care. Because you don't EXIST to them. Start caring about how you visually show up online.

Being “photogenic” is the least relevant thing you can worry about as an expert looking to grow your business. Long story short: no one cares but you. Solution: get over it. Quick.

How much money have you left on the table because the perception didn’t match the promise?

Having a peanut butter and jelly rapport with your photographer is one of the most important, yet overlooked, factors in creating valuable visual assets. Choose wisely.

The question isn’t IF you need new photos, it’s WHY, WHEN, and WHAT…

Imagine if you stopped asking “Am I photogenic?” and started asking: “What would change for me if my visuals actually PROVED how I help people?” #delivermagic #yeahabsolutely #sharemagicalideas #visualstorytelling #personalbrand #thoughtleader #perception #speaker #speakerlife

The difference between “you’re hired” and radio silence can be as simple, and as subtle, as the photos clients see when they Google you. In a sea of equally qualified experts, coaches, consultants, or brands, logic isn’t the tiebreaker. Perception is. #delivermagic #branding

You can be an expert with the most letters after your last name in your niche, but if you aren’t providing visual evidence—if there’s no scroll-stopping proof of you, the superhero expert in action and the relatable, personable human being—your credibility falls on deaf eyes.

There is no such thing as a "money shot." ALL PHOTOS have the opportunity to be a "money shot" based on your brand’s message, the marketing materials in which you create to support that message, your audience’s needs, and the moment in which these photos show up in their feeds.

Google yourself. Click ‘Images.’ Do those photos prove who you are today—or do they look like yesterday’s news?

There are two types of people. Those who copy/paste the past on repeat, and those who are brave enough to face the blinking cursor.

Your visual storytelling library is a living, breathing ecosystem. It constantly needs to be fed, or it slowly dies on the vine.

Be who you are. Wear what you wear. Do what you do. This is the story you need to tell in your photos. Nothing more, nothing less.

What are the missing details in your visual story that allows your audience to see how much you care about the work you do and the experience you provide them?

Most experts don’t realize they have a serious visual storytelling problem until it’s costing them serious money.

Visual storytelling is a garden. You plant the seeds, some become weeds, while others bloom to full maturity. The key is that you don’t stop watering them and trust the process.
