Meet Kate Hughes, Your New Fractional CMO
I knew we were a good fit for her brand photography when we first spoke. Kate has over a decade of marketing and branding experience working with clients and products in the creative agency space. With well over a decade in the photo space myself, I knew our expertise, vision, and attention to detail would align—and that our outcome would be incredible. As a Bay Area brand photographer, I focus on capturing imagery that fully supports my clients' marketing goals and brand positioning. This shoot? It takes the cake! With five looks in a half-day session (just four hours)… we slayed. This Sonoma Casita was the perfect studio set for the day.
