Creating Content That Reflects the Heart of Her Business

Chef Maya is also a member of our Quarterly Content Membership at Jax Mini Sessions Studio, where we help local business owners create consistent, strategic photo and video content to grow their brand online.

As part of the program, we started with an in-person strategy session here at the studio. We did a full deep dive into her brand, her ideal client, and the story she wanted to tell. Together, we created a clear action plan for her content day so that every photo would serve a purpose and speak directly to the people she’s trying to reach.

And because Maya loves color, we made sure to infuse her entire shoot with vibrance and personality—using a variety of our studio’s fun, colorful backdrops, and capturing her with bright foods, meaningful tools, and intentional outfit choices. The result? Content that feels just like her—warm, bold, and full of life.

If you’re a business owner interested in creating strategic, story-driven content for your brand, feel free to reach out to learn more about our Quarterly Content Membership program.
