MH Creative Marketing

Let’s be honest your brand deserves way more than a boring headshot.

I had the best time shooting with Maggie Hudson, the founder of MH Creative Marketing here in Lexington, KY. She's a boss when it comes to helping businesses grow through intentional marketing so when she booked a branding shoot with me, I knew we were about to create magic!

Whether you’re a marketing agency owner, realtor, or small business trying to show up more online, this shoot is the perfect example of what’s possible with the right prep (and a little fun behind the camera).

The Vision

Maggie needed fresh content for her website, Instagram, and upcoming launches, but she didn’t want anything that felt overly posed or stiff. Her brand is creative, modern, and personable so we kept that vibe throughout the entire shoot.

Our goal:
Show Maggie & her team in their element
Capture their professionalism and personality
Build a solid gallery of images they can use over and over again

What We Captured

This was such a smooth session. We covered a little bit of everything:

• Lifestyle headshots with natural light

• Maggie working on her laptop + phone (aka what clients really see!)

• Behind-the-scenes B-roll and candid moments

• Walking shots, seated shots, and even some flat lays for her marketing assets

Location Vibes

We shot at Buckner Media Studios (yes, that’s my space in downtown Lexington!), which gave us the clean backdrop and soft lighting we needed to keep the focus on Maggie and her brand.

Tips If You’re Booking a Shoot Soon

Thinking about doing your own branding session? Here’s what I recommend:

1. Bring tools you actually use
   Your laptop, phone, planner, client folders, etc. Let’s tell the real story of your day-to-day.

2. Plan 2–3 looks
   Keep it on-brand but switch it up. You want your content to have variety.

3. Create a vision or shot list
   Even if it’s just a vibe check, it helps us make the most of our time.

4. Relax — seriously
   I’ll guide you through everything. The best content happens when you're comfortable and having fun.

Maggie’s session is proof that branding shoots can be both fun and strategic. You don’t need to be a model, you just need to be yourself and show up for your business.

If you’re a realtor, creative, or small biz owner ready to stop relying on outdated headshots and actually create content that connects, I’d love to shoot with you next.
