Dr. Estelle Tsalik is the founder and leader of Living Well with Estelle and she shares, “improving your health shouldn’t be hard, expensive or drastic.” She was up for some of our crazy ideas including featuring her amazing shoes. She was so prepared with props and we were able to get so much content in a short session. Estelle helps women “discover better ways to create a healthier you that won’t break the bank or your spirits.” Estelle is a gifted leader who shares more about her mission, “I’m here to help you take the first step towards a healthier and happier life by streamlining your supplements. Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, enhance your energy levels, improve your sleep quality, or address any other aspect of your well-being, we can create a plan that can help you achieve your goals. I am here to listen to your unique needs and provide tailored advice that will empower you to make informed decisions about your health.“


















Alissa Fagan is the creative and founder behind Bright & Sharp Design Co. and shares, “Every business needs a website that looks, feels, & sounds like them. I craft strategic websites that connect with the people you want to reach, and repel the people that wouldn’t be a good fit anyway.” Alissa’s approach to design is rooted in strategy and collaboration with her client’s goals at the center.
She recently launched her new website and included some of our images- YES!! Love seeing business owners share their visuals to increase brand awareness! Alissa shares “Every business needs a website that works for them in the true sense of the word. I craft strategic, conversion-focused websites that help you connect with your ideal customers and grow your business.”
















Cassandra Pickett is the leader and coach with Girl You Good coaching, membership, and podcast (listen here!)! I am absolutely a Girl Your Good podcast listener- short and powerful episodes and trust me: go listen! I will be recording an episode with her soon- ahhhh so excited. She brings her expertise as a licensed marriage & family therapist to everything she does and is a certified clinic coach with a membership to help high achieving women “bring the same clarity to their personal lives that they bring everywhere else.”
Cassandra shares, “You don’t need motivation. You need space to stop managing everything alone.“ I love that we were able to get some updated podcast images and show her fun personality!
















Jamie Elk of Face Recovery by Jamie focusses on building relationships with her clients not just providing skincare services. Her approach is “more than skin deep” and through personalized touch and genuine connection she creates a space where you can truly relax and know that you are cared for. Jamie shares, “It’s about more than just facials and skin treatments; it’s about understanding your heart and your story. I cherish the opportunity to build lasting relationships with my clients and help you on your journey to confidence and self-love.” I loved how her props help tell the story of what she does and we made sure to get lots of images to help share her brand online.
















Alyssa Sanford of Studio Alyssa helps people “create magnetic design for an online presence that feels like YOU.” She helps people stand out with their brand ad web design in an oversaturated market. Alyssa shares, “if you have done with the DIY thing, built the business, and now you’re ready for a brand and website that can keep up; something that doesn’t just look good, but feels aligned and helps you grow this is for you.” We had fun creating some personal desk scenes and make sure we included her books and fabulous smile.












Mandy Levine with Mandy Knows Medicare helps guide her clients through the often confusing Medicare process. She shares, “My approach is relationship-driven and education-focused. I listen carefully to your needs, explain your options in plain language, and guide you through every step of the process. My services are 100% free, and I stay by your side for ongoing support, including plan reviews and updates as your needs change. If you want a knowledgeable, approachable Medicare advisor who puts your needs first, you’re in the right place.” We wanted to create some brand imagery to elevate her website and marketing and had a blast.














Tina Owen with Damsel in Defense helps women stay safe and confidence in their ability to defend themselves through equip, empower, and educate women to protect themselves and their families. She brought unique props and yes I absolutely jumped (and screamed) when she pressed the taser- made for a cool image though so bring it on! Tina helps women feel empowered and take control of their personal safety.
















Hannah Nicksic is culture architect and strategic partner designing brave cultures. She helps lead as a organizational development guide for purpose-driven leaders and also is a speaker. As she builds her business we wanted to create some speaker images as well update lifestyle headshots. She had such great energy and I am excited to see how she grows her brand!














Marie Kandil is the President/Owner at President of Midwest Transformer Services INC and joined for some updated headshots. We included some unique props from her work in the field and had to highlight her fun shoes too. I was so honored to be the first time she had brand imagery done- I love cheering you on!
