Story Branding Trips
Bringing story branding, fine art portraits and advocacy refreshes to your community
One of my favorite ways to work is by spending several days in a community, getting to know the people there, and creating photographs that strengthen connection, recognize individuals, and communicate vision. .
Every Story Branding Trip is built around the relationships and missions already growing within a community. Most trips include Story Branding sessions for organizations and businesses, Advocacy Refresh sessions, and Fine Art Portrait Days.
If I'm coming to your area, I'd love to connect.
What a story branding trip includes
A Story Branding Trip is a short, focused visit to your city, built around the people already doing meaningful work in the disability and Down syndrome community. Cami travels to you, sets up in your space, and photographs the people, families, and missions in an intimate, unhurried, and compassionate way.
EACH TRIP HOLDS THREE MAIN OFFERINGS. LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM BELOW.
story branding sessions
Most organizations know their mission by heart. What can be a challenge is showing it. A Story Branding Session closes that gap. It begins with a planning conversation, and then a half day or full day of photography in your space, with your people, doing the work you actually do. You leave with images made for the gala, the grant, the campaign, and the feed. Honest images that let someone see what you already know, and care about it the way you do.
advocacy refresh
You share their story every day. Once a year, let's give you one intentional session for you and the individual or two that you champion. Also includes a 30 min planning conversation and a curated gallery made to elevate everything you already share. A yearly rhythm as your child grows and your story evolves.
studio portrait day
Slowing down, showing up just as you are, and capturing the real, beautiful moments that matter most. My signature natural light sessions for individuals with disabilities and their siblings. One to three people per sitting, and parents are always welcome in the frame. 30 min of unhurried, sensory aware connection with your loved one.
Occasionally, when my travel schedule allows, I also open a limited number of Family Sessions while I'm in town.

bring a story branding trip to your community!
Many of these trips begin with one conversation.
A nonprofit, school, parent, business owner, or local advocate reaches out and says, "Would you ever come here?"
Together we explore what would best serve the community. Sometimes it's a Portrait Day. Sometimes it's Story Branding for several organizations. Often it's a combination of both.
If you'd love to see a Story Branding Trip come to your city, I'd love to start the conversation.
Every community has stories worth sharing. I’m excited to help tell yours.
FAQs
What is a Story Branding Trip?
1
A Story Branding Trip is a focused visit to a community where I offer a combination of Story Branding sessions, Advocacy Refresh sessions, a Studio Portrait Day, and, when time allows, a limited number of family sessions. Every trip is built around relationships, missions & stories already growing within that community.
Who is this trip for?
2
Story Branding Trips are designed for nonprofits, schools, therapists, mission-driven businesses, advocates, self-advocates, and families who believe in the power of authentic storytelling. Whether you're updating your organization's visual identity or celebrating someone you love, I'd love to explore how we can work together.
What is the difference between Story Branding and an Advocacy Refresh?
3
Story Branding is a more comprehensive session designed to tell the story behind your work through a library of custom images. Advocacy Refresh sessions are shorter and ideal for updating websites, social media, speaking materials, newsletters, and marketing with fresh, authentic photographs.
What if I don’t know what kind of session I need?
4
Many people start with a simple conversation. If you're unsure which session would best fit your goals, schedule a Zoom call or send me an inquiry, and we'll figure it out together.
5
Can you come to my city?
Absolutely. Many Story Branding Trips begin because one organization, family, or community member reaches out. If you'd like to explore bringing a Story Branding Trip to your area, I'd love to start the conversation.
6
What if I only want a family session?
Depending on my travel schedule, I occasionally open a limited number of family sessions during a trip. If you're interested, send me a note. If I have availability, I'd be happy to talk with you.
