From Corporate Career to Creative Entrepreneur | My Voyage Ohio Interview

I recently sat down with Voyage Ohio to reflect on my journey, and it made me realize something about creativity, community, and trust.

Over a decade ago, I made the decision to walk away from a rapidly growing corporate career. On paper, it didn’t make sense. But in my gut, it did.

I wanted a life that felt aligned with how I wanted to show up — as a friend, a partner, a daughter. The long hours and late nights were pulling me away from the things that mattered most. So I chose differently.

It feels like a lifetime ago that I was building someone else’s company instead of my own. But that season shaped how I approach my work today.

As a branding photographer, a lot of my clients are small business owners, community leaders, and parents juggling it all. They care deeply about their work — and about their families. I help make space for what matters most.

Whether that’s creating visuals that tell their brand story with clarity and confidence, updating a headshot that makes a powerful first impression, or capturing a fleeting moment in family life — together, we create something beautiful and authentic.

In reflecting on my story with Voyage Ohio, I was reminded that this work is about more than photographs. It’s about alignment.

Together, we create a strategy so your brand continues to make strong impressions — even when you’re not “on.” So you can be present in your life, knowing your business is showing up well in the world.

It hasn’t always been a straight road, but I’ve learned to trust curiosity. To trust the nudge. To trust the season I’m in.

If you’re building something meaningful — whether it’s a business, a creative life, or a family — I’d love to hear your story too.
