“Soul + Strategy Campfire” is under construction. Until then, join a workshop or come to a seed-swap event at the forest garden!
“Grounded Business Camp” Small-Group or 1:1 Program
Through this unique Personal Brand Strategy process, let’s get your business sorted so you can do meaningful work with your dream clients. Small group or 1:1 vibes + solid process + soul = your grounded and aligned business.
Workshops + Retreats
Business, task, and community-focused workshops so you can get things moving forward step-by-step. Or spend a restful or creative day (soon weekends) on the dock or in the forest garden.
You have something transformative to offer…
It’s time to connect with your people.
Let’s get you out there!
You’ll connect all the pieces, notes, and ideas!
You and your work will make the impact you feel now in your heart and you’ll have confidence telling people clearly about your business.
You’ll have a process right in front of you that makes it less overwhelming.
You’ll get your time back.
You’ll no longer feel pulled between your business and life. You’ll have systems in place that suit YOU and your unique way of expressing yourself.
You’ll have time because you’ll finally be working on the things that move your business out into the world!
Your inbox will be full of inquiries, not just newsletters.
You’ll feel visible and understood - your social media (and maybe a website) will lead the people looking for you right to you!
Imagine working with your dream clients all the time!
Hi, I’m Elle and this is where I come in…
I see you - I’ve been there.
The dreams, the ideas, the free webinars —knowing I’m here for something meaningful, but managing the “wrong” things too often instead of doing the real work I could feel in my bones.
It wasn’t until I REALLY saw myself clearly and accepted the connection between my soul (the whispers, the nudges) and my work (which I loved!!) that I was able to nail my messaging, build an aligned foundation, and connect with my dream clients EVERY time.
Imagine being fully YOU, running an awesome business, and having time to live the life you want!

I come from years of community, marketing, and business-minded perspective.. Since I was little, wondering if I could fund my way to camp by selling photos of ducks and geese… (true story).
reading every leadership, spiritual, and business book I could get my hands on
and 20 years of corporate teambuilding, team management, marketing, outdoor leadership, and teaching at camp.
for the last 12 years, I’ve been a professional photographer while offering business strategy (with soul) to fellow solopreneurs.
I’m a mom of three and know what it’s like to build a business while having other priorities like time with loved ones and gardening.
-
I believe our businesses (our dreams) are here for us - so we can be in our fullest expression and that belief has shifted my experience in such a transformative way that it is now the foundation of this work.
I believe there’s more going on here than we can see and I know we all have access to infinite collective wisdom. I know we can do hard things and I trust that we are designed to be here completely.
-
Think of this work as SOUL with STRATEGY. Transforming what feels intangible into something real that we can share with the world (and yes, that’s YOU in your fullest expression).
I know you and your dreams belong here - so if you are ready to take action to be seen clearly while still prioritizing what matters to you outside of work - let’s get started!

When the whispers end up what you’re doing with your life…my high school grad yearbook photo from the 1990’s.
THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS WORK.
Your dream belongs here…
You are ready to be seen.
THIS PROCESS BRIDGES THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR DREAM BUSINESS & THE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR YOU.
ONE
You and Your Dream Belong. Full-stop.
We’re making space for the whole of you. The essence of you and your business is the biggest part of the conversation. Your business serves your life - not the other way around.
YOU are what happens here!
Perspectives we explore as we sort your Personal Brand & Business →
TWO
Interconnection is real.
Here we talk about how it’s all connected - your family, life, dreams, creativity, body, community, and our planet. You are designed for this.
This is co-creation - you aren’t building this alone.
THREE
Seeing Yourself Clearly.
When I asked many of the 50+ past clients to describe our work together, they all mentioned their tears of relief.
They finally heard the words that resonated with what was stirring inside. They felt safe to be seen and fell more deeply in love with who they were. This is the transformative impact of seeing yourself clearly!
FOUR
Creating from within.
You will learn to use your voice in your messaging to attract your people (no more convincing!). You will learn to trust your wisdom - and intentionally create what’s next. You will create your unique offers and get them “on paper”. You’ll get your time back! You’ll have a plan!
FIVE
The business skills you need to do meaningful work.
We will take things one tangible task at a time following a framework at a pace that works for you and your other priorities. You will see your dream come to life right before you- and you will bring it into the world!

Elle is a photographer for your soul
“SHE HELPED ME SEE PIECES OF MYSELF I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED.
So much became clear. I saw the skills I hadn't been using and pieces of my work that hadn't yet come together. I realized that there was so much more I had to offer.
Elle has this magical way of helping you come back home to yourself, strengthening your relationship with your business, and finding the solutions in your own heart.
These sessions aren't about her telling you what to do, but rather an invitation to come back to your own heart, your own desires, and your own voice.
If you are wondering if this is for you - do it!”

FAQs
-
A personal brand isn’t just a logo or an aesthetic—it’s the essence of who you are, what you stand for, and how people experience you. Whether you realize it or not, you already have a brand. The question is: is it clear? Does it reflect your work in a way that attracts the right people?
If you want to be recognized, understood, and trusted in your industry, then yes—you need a personal brand that feels aligned and intentional.
The strategy is how we uncover all of this following the process laid out above.
-
You need a personal brand strategist if you’re doing meaningful work but feel invisible, unclear, or lacking accurate messaging and systems.
You’ll benefit from this if:
You struggle to explain what you do in a way that people instantly get.
You know your work is valuable, but your message isn’t attracting the right clients.
You’re multi-passionate and need a way to tie everything together seamlessly.
You want to be more visible, but in a natural and aligned way—not forced.
You want systems in place so when the right people find you, it’s easy for them to work with you.
Your brand already exists—it just needs to be seen, understood, and aligned with the clients who are already looking for you!
-
A personal brand is built around an individual—your values, expertise, personality, and unique stories. It’s how you show up, how people perceive you, and the emotional connection they have with you.
A strong personal brand creates trust, recognition, and visibility with you as the go-to person in your industry.
YOU are the unique factor. Clients work with you because of your vision, insights, and how you help them.
A brand can be a company, product, or business that doesn’t rely on a single person’s identity. It has its own values, messaging, and personality, but it’s not necessarily tied to one individual.
-
Yes, because it removes the biggest barriers keeping potential clients from saying yes.
When your brand is unclear, people hesitate. They don’t know what you do, who it’s for, or why it matters. But when your brand is aligned, visible, and resonates with the right people? Opportunities come more easily, and clients feel drawn to work with you.
-
Your business is what you do. Your personal brand is why people choose YOU out of the busy crowd.
If two people offer the same service, what makes someone choose one over the other? Trust, connection, and resonance. That’s personal branding. It helps people see your unique approach, values, and perspective—so they don’t just buy a service, they resonate with you and choose you -
- and those are the clients that are likely already looking for you! Let’s make it easy for them to find you!
-
Most brand strategists focus on marketing tactics—how to get more visibility, grow on social media, or position yourself in the market. While those things matter, they’re not the starting point.
I focus on transformation first—helping you see yourself and your business clearly, so your brand becomes a reflection of who you really are.
You don’t need another marketing formula. You need to bring the essence of YOU & your work into the world in a way that feels aligned and magnetic.
That’s where I come in. My gift is that I see connections between things that others don’t, and I can articulate “unseen” and “intangible” things and help you make them real and tangible through messaging, systems, and copy.
I help you:
Uncover the essence (the soul) of who you are so you can feel grounded as you move forward.
Explore your relationship with your business. I work with the belief that your business is here so you can be in your fullest expression.
Transform all of this into clear, compelling messaging that resonates with your dream clients.
Design brand messaging that moves people—so when the right clients find you, they feel the connection immediately.
Build the right systems so it’s effortless for them to take the next step.
