hey, i’m bernadette.
And I’ve been in your shoes.
You wear a size I-need-to-scale-my-photography-business-with-higher-paying-clients,-new-systems,and-I-need-to-learn-more-about-video-but-need-guidance, right?
Perfect. I have just what you’re looking for, and it’s not in the back.
LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY YOU’RE HERE.
You are growing your photography business, but it’s not growing fast enough.
You feel overwhelmed with the idea of marketing your business on an ever-changing social media-scape and have zero to no system for creating content.
All you hear is “video, video, video” and all you think is, “ugh, ugh, ugh.”
You see other photographers making bank but think, “there’s no way I could charge that much for ‘just’ photos.” Ouch.
You. Are. Stuck. And. Need. To. Wiggle. Out.
LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY I’M HERE.
I have been where you are and experienced all these things.
I clung and grasped onto low-paying photography gigs just to make some sort of income
Every time I entertained the idea of raising my prices, I thought to myself, “No one will pay this.” (Spoiler alert: they did)
I resisted shooting and creating video, (and then later resisted marketing the fact that I did video at all, like…what?)
I LOATHED the idea of marketing on social media. And just when I started to come around to it, TikTok and short-form video came center-stage 🤮
But then…
about bernadette
I am a former journalist, photojournalist and video journalist.
What this ultimately means is that I know how to tell a story in many different mediums.
Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, I was a social media video producer for New Jersey’s biggest news outlet, NJ.com, where a big portion of my job was to create original content for our social media presence.
One main way I would do this, was to “dewrite” articles into quick and engaging scripts for short videos on social media — I took big heaps of information and transformed them into concise and captivating nuggets that would grab the attention of our 1m subscribers on a daily basis and promote engagement with our brand.
I teach business owners how to feel empowered and excited to show up on social media and the digital marketplace.
Today, my brand photography and videography business is built on the foundation of powerful messaging and branding first — the visuals that come after are just the cherry on top of the intensive I have with all of my clients before they ever set foot in front of my lens.

BEFORE WE GO ON, YOU SHOULD KNOW…
I BELIEVE that black lives matter, that love is love, and I AM COMMITTED to promoting, including and representing diversity in my business. I RESPECT people’s pronouns and welcome working with clients of all races, identities, religions and abilities. I work with vendors and employees who maintain the same values.
I BELIEVE IN in science and having a better, cleaner, and more conscious planet. My business practices are as minimally intrusive to environmental impact as possible.
I BELIEVE IN the health, consideration and safety of our peers.
I am committed to being a conscious and inclusive business owner.
Most of the entrepreneurs and thought leaders I work with dodge the spotlight. They care more about impact than being visible, and realize that the fear of visibility gets in the way of making an even bigger difference in the world.
While I love helping visionaries own their brilliance and claim their place in the spotlight, I prefer making magic behind the scenes.
But Bernadette understood my brand ethos, my obsession with authenticity, and made it fun to fully express all I am in my business.
What a magical, empowering experience I had. Anyone who gets to collaborate with Bernadette on their brand is very lucky. 💖
