Here’s how I’ve helped people just like YOU!

I had a Clarity session with Alana Marie and at the time of our meeting, I was really scattered when it came to making the alignment clear with all I have going on. Let’s just say that, after meeting with her, I now have my my personal website.”

Working with Alana was not only an eye opening experience, but a life changing one. Alana gave great advice, had solutions for all my questions, offered references, was inspiring and kept a smile on my face at the same time. I would recommend Alana to anyone and I plan to keep her as a business contact for many years to come.

When I clicked the link to start our session, I was beyond nervous. I lack confidence in my verbal communication skills as it is, so trying to communicate my art added another layer of anxiety. However, Alana’s approachability and professionalism took the edge off. She probed me with thoughtful prompts and reiterated to ensure we were on the same page. She used a phrase that I have been referring back to as I learn to engage with my followers… “Reintroduce Yourself!” Those 2 words took the daunting task of navigating what is pointless vs what is purposeful in my content and made it practical. I left feeling excited and empowered. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

I had the pleasure of having a session with Alana for my brand The Mark of Beauty by Kim. From the start, Alana allowed me space to get my thoughts out, and through guided questions, she was able to assist me with answering very specific questions regarding my brand, and what I wanted to offer to my audience. More importantly, she gave me tangible tasks that I could do to make sure I stayed on track with the ideas I had (i.e brain dump, archiving photos, etc). Our session allowed me to see my brand as a way to sustain my life, versus a collection of pretty looking photos. I feel equipped and ready to elevate my brand’s image, and start taking myself more seriously as a content creator.

01. Who are content strategy intensives for?

Content strategy intensives are good for brand owners and/or content creators that have tasks at hand that need some immediate feedback and strategy implementation. You have an idea but filled with uncertainty and need some additional support. You aren’t quite ready for long term coaching but need to see some tangible and replicable results in to get you started.

02. Do you create the content for the brand?

No. My job is to help you develop your own content based on the wants/needs of your brand. I offer the tools + strategy but the execution is all you.

03. Do you offer more than 6 month private coaching?

No, at the moment I only offer 3 month coaching.

04. How do I prepare for a Content strategy intensive?

When you book your session, you will be asked what are the three things you want to work on during your intensive. I highly encourage you to respond to this question because it helps me better prepare for our session and helps you think about the session more objectively and for the both of us make the best use of our time together.

05. How does payment work?

For photography, a 50% deposit is due on the day of booking and the remaining amount due on day before shoot. You will review and sign your agreement and submit payment through Honeybook. For private coaching, first month’s payment is due at time of booking and remaining payments are due at the beginning of each month until we reach the term of your contract.

06. Are in-studio sessions included in cost?

No. If you are wanting to shoot in-studio, that will be an additional cost. When you book your session, you are also responsible for booking your studio time and ensuring your preferred day/time is available. I’ve curated a list of local photography studios that I’ve either used or have been recommended here.

07. What’s the turn-a-round time to receive my images?

Unedited proofs will be sent over within 2-3 days after your session for you to select the images you would like to have edited. Once those selections are made, edited images will be shared via Pixieset within 3-5 business days.

08. I don’t know what to wear or how to pose! Help!

I got ‘chu! Once you book your session, I will send over a shoot guide detailing suggestions on wardrobe, props, and posing. Most of us aren’t casually taking professional pictures everyday so I understand how nerve wrecking it can be. Beyond the shooting guide, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.

09. Do you help with documentaries?

I do offer 60-minute consultations for documentary filmmakers. If you have questions about finding your story, building a team, managing a crowdfunding campaign, feel free to Contact Me to set up a consultation.

10. Do you offer video as a service?

No, I no longer offer video as a service.
