From powerful portraits to purposeful 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 help women entrepreneurs align their brand with what matters most, so they can leave a greater impact through their mission.
A Few Things About Me
Your Brand Compass was born from the same journey I now guide others through, navigating purpose, passion, and pivots with courage, creativity, and faith. I’ve learned that branding isn’t just about logos or photos. It’s about anchoring your message in something that feels like you and speaks straight to the hearts of those you’re led to serve.
That realization was my turning point and the beginning of a much deeper calling. One that blends strategy with storytelling, visuals with vision, and gives women like you the tools to show up fully and freely in your business.
How I Got Here
You don’t have to sacrifice who you are to grow your business.
You just need a brand that reflects the heart behind it.
I blend my love for teaching, storytelling, and strategy to make the branding process warm, welcoming, and (yes) even fun. Around here, there’s space for both depth and laughter. For business that honors your mission and fuels your future. For branding that makes your message not just seen, but felt.
God is the CEO of my life. that includes my business, which means i also lift every client and their business up in prayer before we set out on our journey to redefine your path forward.
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 (with our 1st grand baby on the way), 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 (Peanut Butter M&Ms required).
My soul comes alive outdoors… preferably in a hammock swing with a journal, on our front porch, hiking new terrain, or cuddling something fluffy (yes, that deserves a second mention).
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 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.
Values I build my work on:
Service before sales
I lead with your needs, not my pitch.
Strategy rooted in intention
No fluff, no copycat formulas. Just clear direction.
Show up real, not perfect
You’re enough as you are. And your brand should reflect that.
If you’re feeling behind, lost, or just plain stuck... take a breath.
I’ve walked the winding road of unclear branding, content overwhelm, and comparison fatigue too. That’s why I created this business, to help women like you feel understood, encouraged, and relieved to finally be seen by someone who gets it.
And if you're looking for support beyond strategy and photos, I’d love to invite you into the Way Maker’s Collective. This is my content planning and creation community for women building impact-driven brands. It’s a space to be seen, supported, and reminded that you're not walking this road alone.
