Based in South Carolina · Working anywhere

IN THEIR WORDS
The part I can’t say about myself.
“Nakeshia was able to capture who I am not only as a person, but as an artist. She’s become like a sister in her support in my journey and I’ll forever be grateful!”
CALEB WOLFE
Recording artist
“Nakeshia did my elopement photos! They were amazing. She did this last minute AND she was super kind. We got our photos very quickly. These photos will be hanging in my house forever!”
EVAN & CONNOR WEEKLEY
Elopement
“She was absolutely AMAZING! She clicked with ALL 3 of my kids and was on her hands and knees just to get the perfect shot! She definitely captured some memorable moments for my family!!”

THE HONEST PART
Most small businesses are posting. Almost none are being found.
Posting isn’t strategy
You have a feed full of content and no idea which post ever put someone in your chair, your booth, or your inbox.
Your photos are three years old
And they were taken on a phone, in bad light, on a slow Tuesday. People decide in about two seconds whether you look worth the drive.
You sound like everybody else
Same trending audio, same “we’re OPEN!” graphic, same caption a franchise three states away is running this week.
HOW IT WORKS
Three things, done in this order.
Skip the first one and you’ll spend a year making beautiful content that sounds like nobody.
01 — VOICE
Find how you actually talk
A narrative, a voice guide, and content pillars pulled out of your own words. This is the part everyone skips.
02 — MAKE
Shoot it here
Content days in your space, with your people. Photo and video, cut for every platform you actually use.
03 — PLACE
Put it where people look
Posted, captioned, and tagged for local search — so the people already looking for what you do can find you.
WHO’S WRITING THIS
Seventeen years of making people look like themselves.
Photography and publicity, side by side, long enough to notice the pattern: people don’t connect to performance, they connect to identity. I write copy as a contributor for a regional family media brand, and I’ve spent the better part of two decades photographing people where they actually live and work — their businesses, their schools, their Saturday mornings.

Working with a marketing team or an agency? Here’s the full list of what I do and what I work in.
THE JOURNAL
Marketing advice, straight off the feed.
I take the prompts and trends going around social and tell you which ones are worth your time — and which ones aren’t. No sponsors, no paid placements, nothing I wouldn’t tell a friend.
The first piece is on its way.
WHERE I WORK
South Carolina is home. The work goes anywhere.
Shoot days happen in your actual space, wherever that is — I travel for them. Strategy, copy, and social media management happen from anywhere, so distance never changes the work. Content that looks like your actual room, shot by someone who took the time to learn the light in it.
I come to you
Every shoot happens in your space, on your schedule. No studio rental, no hauling your product across the county.
I know the calendar
Game weekends, festival season, back-to-school, the long quiet summer. Your content gets banked before the rush, not during it.
I know the rooms
Restaurants, salons, spas, studios, offices, churches, downtown retail. Different businesses, same principle: show the real thing well.
Journal
Get these in your inbox.
When I find a place worth telling you about, I write it up here and then send it out. There is no schedule. I would rather send you one good letter in three weeks than a thin one every Sunday.
No sponsors, no paid placements. Unsubscribe whenever you like.
