“My Personal Branding Photography session with Tenaya was a true gift...and I don’t just mean because I have gotten so many compliments and even new clients from her stunning photos.  It was a gift because the whole experience was so personal and magical.  Tenaya spent copious amounts of time with me, researching locations for the shoot, and even did a Facetime call to investigate my closet and choose the outfits that would suit me best!  The shoot was calm and peaceful, and knowing I was in Tenaya’s hands led to some of the best pictures I’ve ever taken.  Tenaya is also my web designer, so I already had the experience of my website make nearly 8 times the revenue than what I spent on it.  I’m only a few months into showcasing her photos of me on my site, and I have new clients who reach out to tell me my photos are what made them feel connected to me and my message, and ultimately trust me enough to hire me.  I can’t say enough about this creative being!  Tenaya is gold!”

“Working with Tenaya on the photos for my website was an overwhelmingly positive experience and I highly recommend her. She brings her strong artistic sensibility to the work, creating wonderful settings and backdrops to match the tone, mood and purpose of the shoot, all of which we clarified at the outset. She is a natural photographer with a keen sense for light and setting, and she comfortably handles the camera. She put me at ease with her collaborative approach, her sense of humor and encouragement, and pivoted gracefully from fresh idea to fresh idea. Tenaya is extremely collaborative and personalized the experience for me beyond what I was expecting. And I love the beautiful photos! I feel she brought out the best of me and that the photos truly reflect my spirit. ”

“Tenaya is pure magic! It was such a pleasure to work with her on capturing images for my brand and website. She made the process seamless and deeply meaningful and produced stunning images that I will be able to use for years. Tenaya possesses clarity and focus which created the space for me to relax into and feel supported in the planning process. The dream work session added so much depth and intention during the shoot and was a process that helped me articulate my own values and vision for my acupuncture practice. I am beyond grateful for the work and creativity Tenaya offers as well as her warmth and open heart.”

“Hiring Tenaya to do a personal branding photoshoot for me was a gloriously transformative move for my quilting business. Initially I was impressed with her glowing portfolio, and as I experienced how smooth her consultation, scheduling, invoicing, and communication processes were, my confidence in this choice solidified. She was running her business the way I hoped to run my budding business: with clarity, integrity, heart, and ease.

We spoke a few times prior to the shooting day, to map out exactly what types of shots I wanted, in order to tell my story. Tenaya asked me questions about what types of clients I hoped to attract, and what my goals were for not only the shoot, but for my business in general, so that we could create images together that would truly nourish my art business. I knew this would be more than just a photo shoot: it would be ceremonial.

Because I could tell how much Tenaya truly cared about my success, I felt more inspired to care about HER success. I prepared my studio space with not only my quilts in mind, but her experience as well, consciously removing clutter and cords, adding flowers and altars, and creating space for her to have as many angle options as possible. The day of the shoot was just plain fun. I felt at ease, light, and beautiful, because Tenaya truly understands her own magic and the power of collaboration.

Tenaya’s forethought, experience, attention to detail, and strong intuition resulted in a gallery of photos that I am absolutely in love with. The often bland administrative aspect of running a small business is now alive with colorful photos to choose from. The value in having a collection of photos of myself and my studio that I TRULY enjoy looking at is priceless. I recommend her with all of my heart. ”

“Our photoshoot was so much more comfortable than I thought it would be and that’s a testament to Tenaya’s skill and guiding hand. Now I have gorgeous, vibrant photos to use with other marketing materials that feel authentic and joyful.
If like me you’ve been thinking about it, connect with Tenaya today! Invest in yourself. It’s worth it. I will recommend again and again!”

“Working with Tenaya was SO much fun, which is not how I normally feel about having my photo taken. Tenaya has such a gentle, easeful and natural way of bringing forth your authentic self: the soul you want to shine through. The invitations to ground into my body were invaluable, and the encouragements to relax back into myself... she is a gifted and intuitive guide. Beyond the experience of the shoot itself, my photos came out so beautifully. Tenaya has a wonderful sense of light and color, and her aesthetic was part of what called me to work with her in the first place. They are lovely and so is she! I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Working with Tenaya is like the gift that keeps giving. When I first thought about taking professional photos for my website, I felt a twinge of discomfort about investing this significantly in my business and myself.

After my first conversation with Tenaya, my fears were quelled. Tenaya guided me through a visioning process, getting to know my personality and how that merged with my business goals. Her creativity and intuition aided me in envisioning my ideal clientele and how to best use the photo shoot to grow my business.

On the day of the photo shoot, Tenaya was the epitome of professional visionary and trusted mentor. The photos are more stunning than I could have hoped for and I have a newfound appreciation for the work that goes into carefully crafting a business identity. What a remarkable experience this has been!”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Tenaya on my photoshoot, and I highly recommend working with her. I am generally pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera and she went above and beyond to make me feel relaxed and beautiful. I especially appreciated our meditation together before the shoot so that I could drop into my center and feel present and connected to my intention for our time together. During the shoot, she made me laugh and took care of all the details, but also my overall sense of ease. I was able to make suggestions as well, and she really listened to my vision. The photos are a direct reflection of the clarity, passion, and integrity that Tenaya brings to her work. They are gorgeous! I have so many beautiful images to work with now on my website, on promotional flyers and online events, and in my email newsletters. I am so grateful and will use these photos for many years to come. ”
