From powerful portraits to magnetic Personal brands, here’s how I became more than just
“your photographer.”
Former educator, natural encourager, and the heart behind Your Brand Compass
Hi, I'm Jen
I teach women entrepreneurs how to stop blending into the sea of black blazers at networking events and start showing up with a recognizable personal brand.
My work began with an unexpected moment.
In early 2025, I was attending a networking event when a woman walked up and said, “Oh… you’re the photographer.” We had never met.
When I asked how she knew, she pointed to my business card at the front table and said,
“You’re wearing the same colors.” Just the colors??
Over the next month, similar things happened three different times.
That’s when I started paying attention.
For years, I had been studying how color impacts the way people look and feel in photographs. But that experience made me realize something even more powerful.
The way we show up visually influences how people recognize us.
Shortly after that, I went through color and body shape analysis myself and discovered how dramatically the right colors AND clothing can change the way you feel when you walk into a room.
My confidence skyrocketed and something even more interesting started happening.
People began approaching me constantly at events. Conversations started more easily. Before long, people were recognizing me across the room. At some point, I became known as “the one in pink.”
That’s when the bigger realization hit me.
Almost accidentally, I had figured out how to create a recognizable visual presence in any room I walked into, whether that was in person or on a Zoom call.
Now I teach women entrepreneurs how to do the same.
Because when your presence is intentional, people notice.
When people notice, they remember you.
And when they remember you… your authority grows.
How I Got Here
God is the CEO of my life and business, which means i call on his divine guidance in all that I do
I’m husband-obsessed (because I dreamed of this man my entire life and turns out, he exists,) a bonus mom to four beautifully complex humans, Grand-mimi to one, and a fur mama to one grouchy dog (because the poor guy is on borrowed time) and Two cats (one we chose, one chose us). Side note: if it’s fluffy, I’m probably emotionally attached.
I’m a national park connoisseur, sunset chaser, firm believer that mountains > beach, and the undisputed road trip queen.
My soul comes alive outdoors… preferably in a hammock swing with a journal, on our front porch, hiking new terrain, or cuddling something fluffy.
And once a teacher, always a teacher (for 12 whole years!) which means I have a great pull inside me to teach you all I know in the time we have together (some on the agenda, and most not.) prepare yourself for the path to clarity.
What it’s like to work with me
Clients say it’s like working with your best friend and a business coach rolled into one.
Warm but no-nonsense. Intentional, funny, grounding, and always cheering you on. Think of me like your favorite roadtrip buddy.
