      Hello! I am Colette, from the Joshua Trees of Lancaster, California. I have always been drawn to trying to capture the world around me, challenging myself to try it over and over until I received the results that made my chest flutter. I began running instagram accounts for various local businesses at the age of 16 and quickly discovered my passion for helping those around me bring their visions and dream businesses to life. While in California I photographed for streetwear brands like Klinch LA, rapper PimpTobi, and managed the instagram account of Plug House LA.

       I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 2021 and began managing The People's Coffee instagram account. From there I began working closer with the downtown salt lake staple, curating a monthly flavor menu, including drink flavors, and many new food items with fresh in season ingredients. Creating their first event, and first merch collection. Gaining connections with local artists from that event and turning their art wall into a rotating art wall from the artists of their community. From there, working with local businesses like Fice Gallery in creating a design for the collaboration between People's Coffee, Fice & Saucony. 

        While in Utah, creating content for Maddough, Garrett Michael Barbershop, and Shades Hair Company. Partnering with Shades Hair Co and managing their social media accounts. Which lead to becoming their brand strategist. Learning how to create targeted marketing plans, and brand strategy to aid to their success. In the last month of 2023, my photos from a photo shoot with Garrett Michael & Proraso were featured in BarberEVO Magazine. 

          Early this year I began teaching social media strategy classes to help small businesses and small business owners connect with their community better and get their hard work in front of the right audiences. I am passionate about aiding to the dreams of others, collaborating with those around me to produce the best possible versions of their dream visions with precise and thoughtful execution.  

            I am accepting new clients for the year 2025 and would love to bring your visions to life! Available for consultations, shoots, mini shoots, video work, or brand strategy. I would love to take photos of your band or your performance at concerts! Please contact me if you feel like I would be a good fit for you and your team and let's get dreamin. I look forward to our collaboration!
