CHANEL & LEE / IRONICALLY SERIOUS PODCAST

Business:

View website

A cohesive editorial gallery that could flex across consulting, podcast, personal brand, and speaking collateral.

Visual storytelling that elevated her expertise while preserving her relatability.

A refreshed brand presence that felt expansive — not boxed into one aesthetic.


Multi-location imagery that captured:

CEO energy

Behind-the-scenes strategist

Candid conversationalist

Lifestyle-driven personal brand

A content library designed to carry her through launches, marketing, podcast promotion, and thought leadership positioning.

The Results

A multi-dimensional personal brand spanning consulting, systems strategy, podcasting, speaking, and personal thought leadership.

Needed imagery that could live across multiple platforms for the next year — website, social, podcast, speaking engagements — without feeling repetitive.

Desired a fresh creative direction after years of working with the same photographer and feeling visually stagnant.

Wanted to unify two distinct but connected brands:

Chanel & Lee (solution-oriented, expert, CRM strategist)

Ironically Serious Podcast (raw, resilient, unfiltered, personal growth-driven)

Sought imagery that felt relatable, solution-oriented, and trendsetting — without losing warmth or authority.

The Challenge

Taylor already has a STRONG personal brand identity. So when she came to me with a vision board, a shot list, and a hell of a lot of style, I knew that together we were going to execute her vision to a level that neither of us were ready for. Because Taylor is the through-line of every brand she touches, the imagery centered her presence — not just her offers.

yes she actually did balance a martini on her heel.

When you are the brand, your visuals must hold the same weight as your expertise. This session was about building a visual archive expansive enough to grow with her.

She didn’t just show up with a camera, she came with vision, vibes, and a sixth sense for what my brand needed. The entire experience was smooth, fun, and low-key felt like a creative therapy session. 🥹

And the photos? I’m OBSESSED (and so is everyone else. They feel like me, but sharper, stronger, and so on-brand it hurts (in the best way). I’ve never felt more confident showing up online.

This wasn’t just a photoshoot—it was a full-blown brand moment. 10/10!!!! Book her before I do again 😛
