I’m Mara!!

After leaving design school at 21, I would have never guessed what the next year had in store for me.

I had been studying graphic design and marketing, but realized I wasn’t meant to pour my heart, soul, and creativity into a career path that didn’t fully fulfill my needs. I had 7 years of creative photography under my belt and just knew there was a career out there for me that could fulfill BOTH my drive to create and my more detailed, analytical side.

Now, I spend my days supporting wildly talented photographers with blogging, SEO, and Pinterest marketing services—exactly where I’m meant to be.

This intuitive life change has allowed me to provide my clients with an overflowing sense of peace with the marketing side of their business AND myself with the fulfillment of knowing my work is meaningful and helping others thrive.

Hustle Culture Burnout

I grew up a people pleaser. I was always hustling to make sure no one had to worry about me. By the time I was 18 I had started a small business while going to design school full time and working 20 hours/week. That life isn’t sustainable for anyone. Learning that I don’t HAVE to hustle was the most freeing lesson.

Now, I am giving you and other photographers the tools you need to grow and market your business WITHOUT taking on more than you can reasonably handle or facing the burnout that comes with the hustle.

 

Your website can work for you.

Let’s find that magical mix of strategy that makes your life easier.
