Broad Collective and the Power of Women + Community - NYC Branding Photographer

I love capturing driven and impactful women especially ones who level up other women professionally, financially and personally.  While I empower women to feel confident in themselves visually, cofounders Erin Keating (podcaster of Hotter Than Ever podcast and former television executive) and Sarah Gallagher Trombley (former Snapchat executive) are empowering women through their new company Broad Collective, a membership network for professional women pivoting to self-employment in midlife.

Broad Collective’s mission is to support members in starting and scaling businesses that require strategic content creation to promote their expertise, build audiences and grow revenue.  Broad Collective is designed to be both inspiring and practical, focused on strategy, support, techniques and tools to support women’s entrepreneurship ventures.  Plus, it is a dynamic forum where driven women can connect, can support and can grow their network together.

If you are a woman in midlife contemplating the existential reality of your career - or if you already work for yourself - lean on Broad Collective to get you and your business to grow.

And, of course, subscribe to Broad Collective's Substack, follow them on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok (and all the other places) where Broad Collective will be dropping knowledge and inspiration on a regular basis.

Congratulations are in order for Erin and Sarah!  They are doing such inspirational work with Broad Collective!  And, in my opinion, their branding photos look beyond fabulous.  The images are full of personality and provide a visual connection to who they are individually and as cofounders.

Celebration in the City - Bat Mitzvah Event Photographer

I love photographing a fun bat mitzvah! And this one was epic. I always like to, first, photograph a private session of the with the 13 year old away from all the craziness of the special day. This sweet session allows us to get to know each other and it allows me to capture special portraits that the family can use in a curated slideshow and for the parents to remember this memorable age. Then comes the service - a milestone endeavor to achieve. Next comes the celebration…a time to party with loved ones - family and friends. It’s an emotional ride and I’m there for it all. And with this family….its always super lively, fun-filled and full of love.

House of Colour with Fernanda Vazquez - NYC Branding Photographer

Did you know that there are specific color tones and wardrobe proportions that complement you and make you look vibrant?

That there is actually a science behind these fashion elements that make dressing easier?

Really understanding your “best” colors, your body proportions and the wardrobe style that fits your personality and lifestyle is a game changer.

This is what I learned when I hired Fernanda Vazquez (www.nyccolorandstyle.com) for my own color and style analysis.

Fernanda provides a wonderful service that teaches her clients how to dress to look their best.

As I am approaching 50 this year, this new knowledge will give me the power to feel confident in my choices. And she provides supporting materials so I can continue to make fashion choices where I feel pretty and I feel empowered on my own.

What a gift to give yourself!

As they say, knowledge is power.

Thank you Fernanda Vazquez!

And I was SO thrilled I was able to come back and photograph your new branding images so that other people can learn how it feels and looks to work with you.

There is nothing better.
