When Energy, Strategy, and Heart Come Together

As a Virginia lifestyle brand photographer, I get to work with some truly dynamic business owners—and Marcy and Scott were no exception. These two aren’t just building one business. They’re building two that blend real estate with concierge-level media services. Talk about a powerhouse team. When Marcy came to me as a referral from one of my other amazing clients, I could already tell she had that magnetic energy that lights up a room. Add in the trust and playfulness she shares with her husband Scott, and we had the recipe for photo magic.

Inside a Shoot with a Virginia Lifestyle Brand Photographer

We chose a model home for the shoot, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Every corner reflected the elevated but approachable vibe of both brands—Marcys Dream Homes LLC and All The Things Real Estate Media. The space gave us polished, light-filled backdrops that showcased not only their professional polish but also their warmth and connection.

From the very first frame, you could feel the synergy. Michelle styled Marcy to perfection, bringing a modern real estate boss vibe that still felt totally authentic to her. Amanda worked her magic on hair and makeup, giving Marcy that glow that says: “Yes, I know my stuff—and I’m going to take care of you.”

While Scott joined in for a few key photos representing their media company—a concierge service that helps other agents market their listings with polish and speed—what really stood out was how much fun they had working together. Because they’re not just business partners, they’re a team who really listens to their clients and delivers what matters.

More Than Just Pretty Pictures

This wasn’t just about getting a few new headshots. It was about telling the story of who they are and what they do in a way that connects instantly. As a Virginia lifestyle brand photographer, I guide my clients through every part of that process—from deep-diving into their brand message, to curating a shoot location that aligns, to providing styling support and detailed shot strategy.

The final gallery gives them images for websites, Instagram feeds, Facebook covers, newsletters, signs, and beyond. So now they have content that will work hard for them—just like they work hard for their clients.
