Bringing Brands to Life through Photos: Collaborating with Essence Social

May 21, 2025

This month, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Essence Social, a Vermont-based social media company founded and owned by the incredibly talented Amanda. From the moment we began our branding session, it was clear Amanda had built more than just a business—she’s created a mission-driven brand that helps businesses grow their online presence with authenticity and heart. Our session was centered around refining the visual identity of Essence Social, capturing the warmth, professionalism, and clarity that Amanda brings to every client she works with.

Calling All Female Founders

Working with Essence Social reaffirmed something I’ve known for a long time: I love working with women-owned businesses. There’s a unique energy, a sense of purpose, and often a deep desire to create something meaningful—not just profitable.

If you’re a female founder who’s ready to refine your brand, tell your story more clearly, or simply bring more cohesion to your business’s visual identity, I’d love to work with you. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to rebrand, let’s create something that looks as good as it feels.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET ELLEN

I grew up in Vermont and now call Boston home, but I'll always feel most like myself outdoors.

Whether I'm hiking, skiing, spending a long weekend along the shores of Lake Champlain, or returning to Maine with my family each summer, those are the places where I recharge. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent years teaching middle school. Looking back, I think that's where I learned the skill that matters most in this work: helping people feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me planning my next trip to France, getting lost in a good book, cheering on the Boston Bruins, spending time with my family, or wishing I were finally in the right season of life to bring home a dog.
