Hello there!  Today I’d like to share a recent Story Session with you and feature an interview with a local business owner!   Meet Ashley Hurst, a Licensed Dietician who’s passionate about helping people overcome nutritional and digestive issues.

We met a few weeks ago and completed a story branding profile for her personal brand, and then shot a story session in the beautiful city of Sugar Land. We made sure she had plenty of images to use to create her social media content!

Tell us about your business.

“I am a registered dietitian with special training in digestive health and integrative functional medicine. My patients are often dealing with severe digestive disorders and or multiple autoimmune diseases, like Crohn’s and Colitis. I do individual consulting, group programs and I also have a growing supplement line! Everyday, I get to use what I know to find solutions for people who were otherwise told that there is nothing they can do. After years of seeing people, I’m still always learning and finding new strategies- it’s always changing and evolving.”

How was your Story Session experience?

“Suzanne was so fun to work with and very open to my ideas. Taking pictures is usually an awkward process for me but she made it easy!”

Did you have any reservations or concerns going into the photo session?

” Yes, I was just concerned about taking good photos! But Suzanne helped coach me throughout which helped me take better pictures.”

In our Story Sessions, we focus on telling specific ‘stories’ about the client’s business in order to help their ideal customers feel more connected to them on a personal level.  Your customers need to know, like, and trust you before they will purchase goods and services from you, so my job is to make the person behind the brand relatable to leads and customers.   In Ashley’s session, we planned out 3 stories to share on social media:  diet, travel, and health/wellness.  When I asked Ashley how she felt about her final images, she said, “I love them!”

One of the main reasons business owners choose a Story Session is to have plenty of fresh content that is personal to their brand to share on social media.  After all, our mission at the Brand Creative and Design is to help business owners create a professional and profitable online presence!  I asked Ashley if she had noticed a change in her social media following and engagement since she began posting personal branding images from her Story Session.  Here’s what she had to say: “ Yes some! Soon to be more I’m sure.”

Do you have any advice for other business owners who are considering or planning an upcoming Story Session?

“Telling a story is pretty crucial to conveying your value, so I think it’s a must for a website.”

I hope you enjoyed viewing Ashley’s Story Session images!
