Branding and beyond | Leavenworth, WA
Am I an influencer?
No way! However, I want to help you and others influence the social world and beyond with amazing images of your product, or a product you have been asked to show through your own influence.
Whether or not you have your own brand, invented something, or you are “blue check verified” on instagram and are given things to post, I am here to make all your photos look just the way you want them and to show the world the amazingness of your brand.
I am here to make YOU the influencer, not me.
So, what is this post even about?
Well, It began by telling you all that I am by no means a influencer but that I want to help others become influencers. So! Here is a throw back of one of my own attempts at becoming an influencer, and working with products that have been sent to me!
Let me set the scene….
Leavenworth Washington, early spring, light dustings of snow still left over, and a best friend!
Michele lives in Leavenworth and helped me find incredible spots for us to take photos of a variety of brands that WE LOVE and use all the time. So here I am about to share them with you because, well I wanna influence you to book with me for your OWN influencing needs!
#1 Lumber Union and 6am Apparel
Michele and I love laughing, but we also love comfy clothing! Hahah We are sporting some of our favorite local brands that are also incredibly comfortable in there photos. This is basically our essential Pacific Northwest style. Me in my Seattle version and her in her Leavenworth version!
Both companies inspired adventure and are local to Washington State! :) Lumber Union plants trees for every shirt purchased!
#2 Woods Coffee and Miir Mug!
Woods coffee was founded in Whatcom County Washington and was a staple for me growing up! I LOVE their metal Miir mugs because they keep things super cold, or SUPER HOT! for long periods of time.
I chose to shoot with my Miir, Woods mug because I use it constantly and think it was one of the best purchase I have ever made!
#3 Palo Santo Supply Co.
Palo Santo Supply Co reached out to me earlier that year and asked me to shoot some of their product in the PNW! Which I LOVED, if you don’t know what Palo Santo is, here is a quick explanation:
“Palo santo is a type of tree (Bursera graveolens) growing wild near the equator and down into South America. This tree species is known for its healing properties and has a deep spiritual history. History immersed in ritual.” [From:"What is Palo Santo Wood?"]
This incense style of wood burning is amazing, similar to smudging it works towards cleansing negative forces and energies in a space. I love to use Palo Santo when I moved into a new home. Not only does it smell good, but man it makes you feel refreshed. It is not long burning like incense just brief like sage, and SMELLS incredible. Almost cedar, with some hints of citrus.
Please go check out Palo Santo Supply Company ! They have some amazing organic, right from the source products!
#4 Camping Favorites | Osprey, Hyke and Byke and Black Diamond
Many people ask either myself or Michele what our favorite camping gear is, this is just a small tidbit of what we love. (More to come in another blog post!) Michele LOVES her Osprey back pack, she uses it for everything and just raves about it. I got to wear it, and man! I need to make the purchase of one soon. This one is a female pack and fits extremely well on female hips!
Featured here are Micheles Black diamond hiking poles, and her Hyke and Byke sleeping bag. You guys, the Hyke and Byke sleeping bag is AMAZING, its down and keeps you amazingly warm at night, and during the day. Its one of our camping essentials thats for sure!
If you have never hiked with hiker poles, you are missing OUT! they have saved the day in so many settings, they have saved the day when hiking in snow, rain, on rocks and in mud! So many uses and so good for your back! So check out black diamond for some killer poles!!
#4 doTERRA Essential Oils
Michele is a doTerra ambassador, and I am so glad she is. She really helped me learn more about essential oils and about being more natural. She has shared some great sustainability tips on her instagram @micheleharrod and @washingtonunpaved
But anyways, these are some of our favorite essential oils that we use very often! :) They are extremely helpful and beneficial to every day life in various ways.
