Q What do you do?
“I’m an art director and photographer. I’ve worked with tons of bad ass women-owned businesses looking for bold creative ideas.”
I prioritize visuals that make it easy to market your business and show (not tell) what you do.
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
My twin sister is a brand and web designer and I'm a photographer. We'll been weaving together visuals for small business owners for 7+ years and over the years, we've tried and tested how to add value with carefully crafted brand systems. In our first two years of business we worked with over 50 business owners. Now we work with around 10 clients a year between the two of us and focus on building strong foundations for growing businesses.
Q How do you stand out in your field?
We’ll meet your business where it’s at whether you need a simple portrait or a fully custom website. No matter how you choose to work with us, you’ll get thoughtful, high-quality work, made to last.
My creative style: cool, minimal, edgy, artistic.
Over the years, my twin sister and I have built a rolodex of talented friends: incredible copywriters, makeup artists, illustrators, systems specialists, stylists, marketing consultants, SEO geniuses, etc. to refer you to when we see niche needs.
Q What are you working on right now?
Product photography and a cohesive holiday campaign for a woman-owned cotton candy brand. I'm collaborating with a talented social manager to marry the photos and the videos for the campaign.
Q What’s your style?
Check out my photo portfolio: lauragracesears.com and get a taste of my clean, bright, bold, and artistic vibes.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
I'm a huge foodie, a knitter, and a not-so-secret DIY interior designer. I love curating everything from photo shoots to menus, to my next sweater project, to my dream bedroom. I like artistic creations that feel lived in, imperfect, and honest, and I obsess over color palettes.
Q What is frustrating you right now?
Marketing and selling myself is not nearly as fun as helping someone else do it creatively.
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
All of my marketing and sales.
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
My major photography services are: Portrait sessions, documentary-style photo sessions for business owners who want to show people what they do, product photography, and fully art directed brand shoots (think studio, makeup, styling!).
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
My ideal client is either a female owned product-based or service-based business that needs fresh imagery every quarter. I love getting to develop a photo style and work on multiple campaigns for a brand over time.
Q: What is your rate?
My most affordable package is my mini-portrait session for $750. Larger photo shoots and longer sessions start around $1,500 and vary depending on production budget for things like makeup, styling, location, licensing, models, and more.
