Brand shoots they'll never believe you directed yourself
Creative Direction without a $30k Team
The go-to framework for founders who want to direct brand visuals that convert, stand out, and finally feel like them.
brand visuals they'll never believe you directed yourself
You’re not the problem. You just haven’t been taught how to direct your own brand.
You've invested in your brand, but it still doesn't look like you.
You’ve booked photographers. Built moodboards. Spent hours scrolling Pinterest for inspo.
But on shoot day?
You’re fumbling through screenshots.
Explaining things on the fly.
Hoping your photographer can read your mind.
Then the gallery drops and you feel that pit in your stomach.
Photos that miss the mark. Videos you’ll never post. Brand media that still doesn’t reflect the actual you.
You're showing up but your visuals aren't doing you justice.
→ High-ticket shoots that still don’t get it right.
Right now, you're stuck between two extremes:
You want visuals that feel like you, look elevated, and actually work.
But you’re left guessing, winging it, and wasting time (and money) on media that never moves the needle.
Its time to ditch recycled inspo, lack of direction and the ‘just winging it’ approach to brand shoots.
You don’t need more content.
→ Fully DIY visuals that fall flat.
You need Creative CTRL.
you're tired of feeling under-whelmed by your own brand
you're tired of feeling underwhelmed by your own brand
You’ve outgrown basic visuals. It’s time to direct your brand like you mean it.
You’re either copying what you saw on Instagram or praying a $2,000 shoot will magically figure it out for you. Creative CTRL gives you the tools, structure, and strategy to stop outsourcing your brand’s identity and start leading it. It’s time to look as powerful as you actually are.
Originality is your edge. Direction is the difference.
Most brand visuals are either overdone or underwhelming.

I'm not here to pressure you. Your next shoot day will do that on its own.
Every day you delay is another opportunity missed. Another shoot that misses the mark. Another month spent wondering why your brand still doesn’t feel like you.

happy place
I started investing in brand shoots early because I knew powerful visuals create impact. But after one too many disappointing galleries, I realized the truth: Photographers shoot. They don’t direct.
And if you don’t know what you want? You’ll get whatever they give you. I used to think I was the problem. Now I know: I just needed to take control of the vision.
So I stopped outsourcing direction and started building my own creative briefs. Not just Pinterest boards—but full-blown concepts, scene breakdowns, prop lists, shot direction.
The results? Night and day.
I went from fumbling through inspo on shoot day…to walking in like a creative director on a campaign set with a team ready to execute. No missed shots. No vague “energy.” Just scroll-stopping visuals that actually matched the brand.
I made this course because I was sick of creatives playing small with visuals that don’t say sh*t.
Have you heard? Creative direction is your new content strategy.

Creative CTRL is not for you if...
This isn't for everyone, but it might be for you
You're okay with blending in
You don't enjoy the creative process
You have no vision for your business
You're unbothered by mediocrity
You know your brand media needs a level up
You enjoy the creative process
You often have a vision but feel lost with execution
You want to make the most of your investment into your brand media
Creative CTRL is perfect for you if...
Then you’re exactly who this is for. Creative CTRL gives you the tools to prep properly so when shoot day comes, you’re not scrambling, guessing, or settling. You’ll walk in with a plan, a vibe, and a vision so strong it directs itself.
What if I’m not ready to do a brand shoot right now?
No, but I highly recommend it when you can! This course will still be insanely valuable if you’re DIY-ing with your phone and a tripod. That said, Creative CTRL is designed to help you lead your visuals like a pro which means if/when you do hire a photographer, videographer, or stylist, you’ll know exactly how to communicate your vision and get results you love.
Do I need to hire a full team or professional photographer to use this?
Lifetime access, babe. This isn’t a rent-it-and-regret-it kind of course. You’ll have full access to every module, template, and update for as long as the course exists — which, trust us, it’s not going anywhere.
Do I need to hire a full team or professional photographer to use this?
Absolutely not. If you want to hire a team, we’ll show you how to direct them like a creative boss. If you’re DIY-ing it with a tripod and good lighting, you’ll still walk away with scroll-stopping content. Either way, you’ll learn how to create visuals with intention, not just aesthetics.
Do I need to hire a full team or professional photographer to use this?
Imagine if your brand looked the way you actually see it in your head.
the visuals. the energy. the strategy.
You've got the vision. Let's make them look twice.
