Ruby was able to help me narrow my focus on who my target audience is for massage through a detailed questionnaire which created the outline for my story. She then created inspiration boards for my focal points. The visual acuity it brought helped to constellate my many facets into one cohesive story. In my response, with her intuition and years of expertise in branding, Ruby also challenged some of my notions to bring about clarity. This process brought life to Maya Moon Massage with creativity, humor and presence. I would absolutely recommend Ruby to any of my friends, colleagues and community who are looking to take their business to the next level, be it just starting out or expanding and diversifying your brand. Love you Ruby!

After 20 years of designing & executing branding & marketing strategy for luxury hotels like The Plaza, New York, I created my own personal brand.  I partnered with highly acclaimed NYC photographers and was a bit nervous about finding the caliber of “craft & creativity” I was seeking.  I know how much work & attention to detail it takes to pull off a sophisticated, eye catching, professional shoot. Ruby was warm & approachable.   She wowed me with her professionalism & creative style game.  I knew she could help me bring my brand to life. Together we created a fabulous shot list complete with spot on styling tips plus an amazing hair & make up referral that set us up for terrific success on shoot day.  Ruby has a beautiful eye & impeccable taste, staging & framing every shot with passion & creativity.   She cultivates a positive, happy set which put me right at ease. As a result of my shoot with Ruby, I now have a library of beautiful & authentic photos that are helping me grow my personal brand into a business where I serve others deeply & get paid well for it.

As a new interior design business, I quickly learned how important my personal brand was.  My brand image became very important. I knew I needed good photos, but I was afraid to take the plunge.  I finally made the decision to do it and I signed up with Ruby for a personal branding photo session.  Ruby had great ideas for my shoot locations, and made me feel super comfortable during the shoot. She was open and honest, which led to AWESOME photos. I'm so proud of the photos on my website and social media platforms, and so glad I took that leap of faith with Ruby!

Prior to finding Ruby, I really struggled to come up with photos that conveyed my brand and personality accurately. Thanks to her, that's no longer an issue. In fact she managed to capture the essence of my brand better than I thought anyone could. I have no doubt that was due to her taking some time to learn a bit about both me and my business before she even started with the story boards - she's a real pro! Ruby is incredibly good at what she does, and really fun to work with too. I'm so happy to have found her, and can't wait to do more shoots together in the future. If you need a talented photographer that understands 'brand' story, she's your gal!

I was in desperate need of some new photos for my website and upcoming events I wanted to post online. I didn't feel like the photos I had represented me very well, but I was also nervous to find a photographer because I am terribly uncomfortable in front of a camera.  After talking with Ruby and looking at her work, I had a sense I could trust her to help me out...and she is AMAZING!  Not only did I feel super at ease the day of the shoot, but our time together was actually fun and I loved the photos she sent me!  I typically have a hard time finding 1- 2 photos I like from a shoot, but with Ruby's approach there was such an abundance to choose from that I really loved.  I would HIGHLY recommend working with Ruby.  She's so warm and incredibly easy to work with.  I would especially recommend her to anyone who struggles with awkwardness around a camera.  It was a really great experience!

With launching my financial planning company I needed photos of myself that were authentic.  I had to come across as my honest, intelligent, approachable self since people will be trusting me with their money. I thought this would be tough as I am a numbers girl and in no way creative, but Ruby was able to articulate what I needed and made it happen!  I now have absolutely gorgeous photos I use for my company website, LinkedIn and marketing materials.  Ruby is incredibly talented, professional and makes the process easy.  Her branding expertise, creative direction and knowledge of design strategy are worth every penny.  I can't recommend Ruby enough.

Working with Ruby was a joy. I don't enjoy taking photographs, but I felt instantly comfortable with Ruby.  She provided useful advice to help me prepare.  Ruby put me at ease, selected creative locations, teased out natural looking poses and made me laugh.  All of which resulted in just what I was looking for!  Well worth the investment, and in the end, quite enjoyable!

Since my web launch the work has been non-stop.   First,  I landed my largest project to date.  The client said it was because we had done such a beautiful job with my site!  And YES she was my ICA, in fact she was the person I thought of while we created her.  I contribute all the work Ruby and I did together as the driving force behind my busy year.
