You are not behind. Your photos are.
Everything else about your business has grown. Your offers. Your price point. Your actual voice. Somewhere in there, your photos stayed exactly where they started, a picture from three years and two hair colors ago, a phone photo turned AI headshot doing a job a real one should be doing.
People can always tell the difference.
Between a photo that was taken and one that was made with you in mind. Between someone performing mood board confidence and someone who actually has the "it" factor. Your audience always notices, even when they can't exactly put their finger on what seems a bit off.
Your audience has seen "safe" before. A hundred times over.
They're not craving polished, forgettable brand visuals. They want something real. Something with a pulse, and a little risky. Something that actually looks like you.
WHICH IS WHERE I COME IN
Thirty years of chapters got me here, not just a camera
(and my sparkling personality).
A psych degree from Ball State taught me to watch people, not just look at them, a skill I've leaned on since. Then, I spent years producing corporate events for Roche Diagnostics & Eli Lilly, celebrations tied to the Indy 500 and Final Four, building vendor teams worth trusting. Then I built Cake Zen from nothing and ran it just the same: one relationship, one detail at a time. Then building the same energy with Louisville and Indianapolis founders and creatives and chefs. All of my careers have taught me the same thing: nobody remembers the plan. But they always remember how they felt.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?
I was so nervous. Jama coached me through the nerves and gave me all the tools to prepare... By the third photoshoot, I can't get enough!

Despite everyone feeling a bit nervous and camera-shy, Jama made us all feel comfortable and at ease. When we received our gallery, we were blown away.

Jama creates so much room and energy for FUN... you feel like you got to hang out with a lifelong friend, and the pictures were a bonus.

READ THE FAQ
What if I'm not comfortable in front of the camera?
You're in good hands. My direction is warm and intuitive, built around being present rather than performing. Most clients arrive nervous and leave saying, "I forgot about the camera at some point."
What kinds of images will I receive?
Your gallery includes lifestyle portraits, modern headshots, BTS shots, and detail images, all handcrafted to support your website, launch materials, and social presence. I offer product shoots too. Every image arrives high-resolution, in a downloadable, shareable gallery.
Do you offer professional hair and makeup?
Yes. Every session includes hair and makeup with The Beauty Patrol, so you are smiling, polished and camera-ready before we start.
What should I wear?
We'll walk through wardrobe and styling on your planning call, but shop in your closet first. Then pack a few options, and I'll help you build looks that photograph beautifully and actually feel like you.
What does a branding session cost? My Signature Brand Experience, the half day and the one most clients choose, starts at $2,850. Want more time together? The Editorial Brand Experience, a deeper full day partnership, starts at $4,500. Have a smaller scope in mind? I also offer shorter studio sessions. We'll figure out the right fit on a call.
Which session is right for me?
We'll explore this together in our discovery call and match you to the best option based on your goals, budget and image needs.
Where do you shoot branding sessions? Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Indianapolis, in your workspace, a studio, your home, or a curated outdoor location that fits your brand.
How quickly will I receive my images? Within 10 business days, delivered through a private, downloadable online gallery.
How do we work together? I typically book 1 to 3 months out. Most clients are based in Louisville and Indianapolis, though I travel for destination sessions too.
Currently taking a limited number of bookings in Louisville and Indianapolis for the rest of 2026.
