Hi there! I’m Renee Vernon, a Photographer with 20 years of experience and Certified Martha Beck Life Coach. I specialize in brand & lifestyle photography for magazines / editorial, fashion retail catalogs, tech companies, individual business owners and musicians to book authors & VIPs. I am based in Phoenix, AZ and also work from Santa Barbara, CA. It’s my joy and goal to help you feel empowered and confident via next-level photography or one-on-one personal life coaching sessions.

I decided to combine my two passions when I started noticing my Awaken Coaching clients (now finally living their truth) had this radiant, confident, happy glow on camera after our life coaching sessions. Living life on your own terms creates a certain glow that can only come from within, and it shows.

Up until this point, the thought of a photoshoot perhaps has felt overwhelming to you… even though your existing photos may have become terribly outdated, or just don’t portray you the way you wish they would.

Trust me, I get it. A photoshoot can feel like a lot to take on… Or it can feel really empowering and calming all at the same time, which is exactly what I strive for.

I promise no awkward poses everrrr, nothing that doesn’t feel natural – or not like you. That’s not how I work. 

I appreciate and value your time, creativity, vision & entrepreneurial goals. We’ll work together to create a suite of photos that tell your authentic story, to help you connect with your audience.


OUR PROCESS

We will do everything collaboratively. 

And when you have brand photography you LOVE (and you will!) you’ll be more excited and empowered to confidently show up, sell your services, and be paid as the expert you are in your industry. Great images that resonate with your audience will help your ideal clients fall in love with your brand. 

How does it work?

Great question — let me start with letting you know you’ll feel 100% supported and encouraged the entire time we’re together and there will be an easy planning process to check off your wants & needs Shot List. 

All you need to do is show up for yourself, and I’ll handle the rest. I’ll be gently coaching you from behind the lens, so you’ll feel completely supported. You’ve got this!

Plus, all photoshoots come complete with a preparatory Photoshoot Pre-Prep Guide and a “Vision Quest” Moodboard to allow us to align together on looks and ideas you resonate with. I’ll help with location scouting, edited final images, and you’ll have me hyping you up day of our session for mood boosting. :) Nerves? Nah. Most clients say the time flies by and they wished they had done this a long time ago!

You will have personality-filled lifestyle photos you’ll be excited to share. Both you and your audience will get to see you in a whole new light.

The best part?

We’ll have a ton of fun while doing it too — guaranteed!

I can’t wait to SEE you!
