That's where I come in.
What clients say most often:
For the past 7 years, I've been exclusively helping business owners solve a problem most don't realize they have: the gap between how established they actually are and how established they look.
You've built something real. You have credibility, experience, and a track record that speaks for itself. But when it's time to show up—whether that's a website refresh, a new offer launch, or increased visibility—your visuals aren't supporting you the way they should.
I don't just take photos. I help you close that gap with imagery designed to reflect your growth, build confidence, and support real business outcomes.
"Organized." "Confidence-building." "Seamless." "I felt like she actually got my business."
That's not an accident. That's the experience I design into every session.
I'm a brand and product photographer based in Huntsville, Alabama—and I help established entrepreneurs step into visual authority through strategic, confidence-building photography.

get to know
- Where your business is going
- Who your audience is
- How you'll use the imagery (website, social media, email campaigns, sales materials)
- What visual gaps are holding you back
This isn't just logistics—it's strategy. Because images designed with purpose work harder than images that just "look good."
We don't start with a photoshoot. We start with a planning conversation.
Consultation & Strategy
That's exactly why every session is fully directed. I'll tell you where to stand, where to look, how to hold your hands, when to laugh. You're never left guessing or trying to "perform."
My job is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and guided—so the imagery reflects the real you, not the stressed version trying to figure out what to do.
During the Session: Guided Direction
- Website headers and About pages
- Social media content across all platforms
- Email marketing and newsletters
- Sales pages and landing pages
- Print materials and business cards
- Long-term brand equity
Everything is designed to work—not just exist.
You're not hiring me for photos to put in a folder and never look at again.
After Delivery: Real-World Use
Do you feel confident? Proud? Ready to show up?
That feeling doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the process itself was calming, organized, and built around making you feel prepared instead of exposed.
The Outcome: Confidence
Next Step
Every session is built around three principles: strategic planning, calm direction, and imagery designed for real-world use.
How I work with Clients
The Journey to Kia & Co.
- Real estate professionals building their personal brands
- Wellness practitioners launching new offers
- Product-based businesses creating e-commerce visual libraries
- Coaches and consultants stepping into thought leadership
- Corporate teams needing cohesive, professional imagery
What I've learned across all of them:
The businesses that grow aren't the ones with the loudest marketing. They're the ones with the clearest, most confident presence—and that starts with how they show up visually.
I've been a photographer for 14+ years, with the last 7 years focused exclusively on brand and product photography for established businesses.
Between my alarm to catch the San Diego sunrise and my afternoon iced lattes, I capture the souls of beautiful women that I have the privilege to photograph.

Gari Ann is AMAZING! She is so organized on the front end planning a session to talk about what you are looking for and what you would like out of the photography session. Then the day of the session, she is on point, captures exactly what you spoke about AND MORE! She makes everyone feel so comfortable, gives great direction and really captures each and every personality through her lens. These photos are so timeless and really capture the exact message I was wanting to portray about me and my business.
from past client
I'm a military spouse, which means I've spent years learning to build businesses that adapt, evolve, and thrive no matter where life takes us. That same resilience and adaptability shows up in how I work with clients—I meet you where you are and build from there.
I live in Huntsville, Alabama with my husband and our two children, James and Ellison. When we're not here, you'll find us traveling—Hawaii in the summer, Disney World whenever the opportunity arises, and destinations around the world when we can (Santorini, Wanaka, Paris, and Aix-en-Provence are some of our favorites).
When I'm not behind the camera, I'm giving back to my community by supporting fellow military spouses and mentoring other small business owners navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship
