Writing and documents
Premium freelance writing, photography, and design services for any occasion. I take an empathic approach to all projects and suit content to meet the desires and requirements of my clients and their audience.
  • Web content
  • Press releases
  • Biographies
  • Resumes
  • Special letters
  • Event programs
  • Speeches
  • Memorials/eulogy
  • Poetry
  • Magazine submissions
  • Articles
  • Persuasive
  • Ghostwriting
  • Dictation
All documents will be published or publish-ready and edited to suit clients' ideals. Just because someone knows how to write a love letter does not mean they will be able to capture the right essence or emotion, I can. My tried and true, in-depth, and conversational interview style can guide your commissioned writing project to create a perfect fit.

Not on the list?
Don't worry... Your ideas are great! I love working with other people's ideas, helping them grow from a concept into a finished piece. I can work with almost any topic and have a generalist's understanding of almost everything except sports (and I can learn that too). That means your commissioned writing or design element will be produced in an intelligent way that does not detract from your message. 

Photography
You can't always be behind the camera. So, hire me to take photos of your special occasion or event. 

 

Getting everybody together for a rare all-family holiday? Give me a little notice and I can arrange to capture group portraits for family, business or organizations. 


Portfolios, resume package
If you are developing your professional resume for entertainment or the arts and need assistance to sync your talent with the market, look no further. After years of newspaper, I know how to tell it straight and still make you look great. This is personal PR and marketing at its best.


Portraits that capture your inner charisma and your outer fashion guaranteed. Pair these with the magic of my writing for a sure way to be noticed when applying for your next gig or position.

Get caught in the act. If your area of talent is already out front and creating a powerful interest, but you would like to have a more well-rounded selection of press photos. Choose my service and receive image consulting as we create the look you mean to have. (These are on location only at this time.)

Let's get creative
Have creative photography needs? Let's talk! I love ideas, prompts for creativity and working with clients to imagine the world, then make it happen. 





Design / Marketing
Call me first when developing the messages you want your customer to see most. Words and images are delicate and bound tightly to your customers' mind, heart and memories. Help them gain a new understanding of your product, service, company or non-profit organization with accurate and concise wording, honest persuasion, and exciting images.

 

Is your current brochure missing something? Could it be concise and effective content? Together we can make your company, non-profit, church or concept much more accessible to the public through solid writing and innovative use of color, photos, and other design elements.

Deeply embedded in the principles of marketing is the wisdom of discovering who your potential customers are and reaching them in strategic ways. 

 

Don't know who your customers are? Still a fledgling marketer, I have an inside understanding of media, image and gauging audience response. I may be inexperienced, but I have great ideas for building a small business' brand and traffic. Discounted rates for marketing assistance and consulting available. 

Also, feel free to call on me if you are in need of an assistant in developing your business and marketing plans, branding and logo, or other project you would prefer to lead on.

Social media and Web
If the words "social media" and "Web development" scare you more than you like to admit, then you are not alone. I have a broad understanding of facebook, twitter, other forms of social media and how they can be used for free to benefit your business or outreach. 

Let me set up your new page using social media, or develop informational sites with content on wordpress and other publicly hosted blog sites, domain (ex: www.hometowngeek.com) management available.
