Hillary Wells

City:

Marin County San Francisco Bay Area, California

Loves working with:

I work with women entrepreneurs who are typically launching a new website or going through a rebrand. They are creatives, authors, speakers, coaches/consultants, relators, and service providers. They value client experience and artistry. Many times they come from a corporate background in a past life and bring that level of expertise/professionalism to their business.

Photoshoot locations:

Studios, client homes, free locations in the area (beaches, parks, mountains, coffee shops, wine country, city backdrops), paid locations in the area (renting out a beautiful on brand home through Peerspace or Home Studio List).

Photography style / aesthetic:

My style is modern, feminine, and the colors are true to life. I'm somewhere in between moody and bright! Women choose to work with me because of my ability to capture natural, authentic photos that bring out their true essence.

Languages spoken:

English

Vibe check:

I am calm, curious, and kind. Past clients and collaborators have called me "flowy"— I am able to have fun on set, while remaining easy going. I don't like to rush and want my clients to enjoy the experience.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

My favorite photoshoot to date included a historic mansion on a Northern California beach in a room with 11 greyhound dogs. My portfolio has a photo from this day if you're curious to see it!

Krista Marie

City:

San Francisco, United States of America

Loves working with:

I love working with women business owners who are deeply passionate about what they do — whether they’re service providers, creatives, therapists, coaches..they’re heart-driven, super talented, and ready to start playing bigger in their life and business.

Their vibe -- they’re warm, thoughtful, and quietly confident — but they also have a big vision and are ready to show up for it in a bigger way. Most of my clients are at that pivotal moment where they’re done with the DIY phase — they’ve outgrown piecing things together and want visuals that actually match the high-level experience they’re providing.

They don't care about being 'internet famous' or going viral — they care more about creating meaningful impact, working with dream clients, and building brands that feel true to who they are.

Photoshoot locations:

I typically do shoots in private rented homes/studio spaces. Each of my current packages include an indoor rental (so they don't have to pay more for it) and they can have on-brand photos in a gorgeous space (with great lighting and scenery). My goal is to make it as easy as possible so I help choose the best location based on their brand vibe!

Photography style / aesthetic:

I love using natural light to capture bright, clean photos with pops of color! My clients always rave about how vibrant and fresh their photos feel — it brings a really 'high-vibe' energy to their brand without feeling forced.

One of the biggest compliments I get (and one that means the most to me!) is that my clients look like real people — not overly posed, not like influencers or models — but the very best, most confident version of themselves.

My style is all about helping them feel relaxed, supported, and genuinely themselves in front of the camera, so the final photos don't just look beautiful — they actually feel like their brand and energy.

Languages spoken:

English (trying to learn French but have a LONG ways to go before I'm fluent)

Vibe check:

My vibe is super warm, encouraging, and collaborative — a mix of strategic posing, hyping you up (like I'm your biggest fan), and making sure you feel like the absolute rockstar behind your brand.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I am a lover of the enneagram!
