While it’s time consuming, we manage our own social media for a number of reasons. The biggest being because many of our clients trust us to keep their photos private. This is typically because they work in a particular field or need complete anonymity on social media. We respect all of our clients equally and understand all reasons for staying off our platforms. For other women who are willing and able to share their intimate photos with us, we love to celebrate them with our followers. Every body is unique and different, and our social accounts are just the vehicle to boost and encourage others! We love seeing friends, acquaintances and strangers alike uplift the ladies that we post about. Read more>>

My previous business was as a branding photographer, so I was already well experienced in creating visual content for a brand, and I was excited to curate this new one as well. We used social media to build a following and a community before we ever opened our doors. We posted behind the scenes of our build out, used it to invite the community to Hard Hat Tours, and let people vote on some design choices. Read more>>
