The creative industry can be an overwhelming and sometimes very isolating place — especially for recently established creatives. Curating and building our portfolios as entrepreneurs is essential to growth and success, which is why styled events (such as content days) are so important.
It's about committing yourself to your own creative process in order to attract who you are dying to work with in the future. This is also about you — immersing yourself in a space where you experience no pressure to create. It becomes freedom instead of necessity.
Content days today have become "fast fashion" — it's beautiful content, but less personalized to your needs at the core. What is it that YOU need to grow in your field?
We're recognizing the creative businesses that need content that resonates with their mission, and we celebrate the photographers that need more than just "the content".
→ A hair stylist that wants untraditional branding photos for her new salon....
→ A photographer that needs unique wedding content with additional guidance, styling and posing direction, and post-processsing support....
→ A model that is trying to get their foot in the door to get signed by an agency....
We've created that space for you — a place for all creatives (photographers, vendors, and businesses alike) and exactly what they need to excel.

Full on content days were great...at first. There came a point where we both kept coming to the same realization that they could be done in such a way that one photographer or creative business could walk away with more than just "content".
With the melding of both our expertise, and our desire to make content more tailored to the needs of the individual, this mentorship and design experience was born.

"I hired Dana and Sydney for a creative shoot for social media and marketing content. They made everything so easy, even when I got all worked up with nerves. All of the coordinating and set up was handled by Dana so that I didn’t have to worry about all the little details the day of (and there are so many little details you wouldn’t realize). She handled creative direction, location scouting, models, set and outfit design, day of set up and many more things in between. With all of her industry connections, my content shoot was more than taken care of. Between her networking and weeks of organizing, I couldn’t have asked for a smoother shoot day. While they are their own separate contractors, Sydney and Dana work so well together, it’s hard to not consider them as a package deal. They have this secret language between them that really helps to bring their visions to life. Working together seems to come really natural to them. They are patient and flexible, yet truly forces when it comes to bringing your ideas to life. Their creativity really sets them apart in such an over saturated industry. I would recommend both of them to anyone looking for their services and will more than likely be using them in the future." - Alinah D.
"My man and I have been lucky enough to have a chance to work with Dana and Sydney a couple times now and every time was an absolute blast!! Everything was always planned out so there was never any stress or miscommunication. Dana and I have worked at least 3 times together and I must say her attention to detail really brings out the best in our shoots. She always made things so easy for me, had outfits picked out, makeup artists and hair stylist list that I could contact, and all the props you could dream of. Sydney is an amazing photographer to work with, one of my all time favorites. She is someone that can instantly make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is great if your man is a little shy, he’ll relax in no time and your shoot will feel like it came naturally. Over all these women always pour so much love and passion into their work and I look forward to working with them again soon!" - Allie S.
