There’s a particular frustration that comes from having a brand that looks fine but feels wrong. You’ve tried the templates, the stock subscriptions, maybe even a designer. And still, something’s missing.

What’s missing is you. Not a better version of you, just an accurately translated one.

HIYA VIBES combines a unique Vibe Definition process with a bespoke still life image library built around your specific brand world: your colours, your objects, your energy, your aesthetic. Not personal branding that looks like corporate headshots on a white background. Not a talking head. Not a generic flatlay that could belong to anyone.

A document that excavates who you are and gives it back to you in colour, language, mood, and image direction + curated collection of art-directed photographs that are so specifically, unmistakably you that people who know you will recognise them before they even read your name.

These images live on your website, your LinkedIn header, your email newsletters, your pitch decks. They work for you in every room you’re not in. And unlike every Reel you’ve ever posted, nobody can take them away.

The complete HIYA VIBES experience includes a deep dive into discovering your true brand identity, so that showing up becomes easy and feels authentic. You’ll walk away with a  personalised brand identity report + a ready-to-use bespoke still life image library. These images are crafted for you; you won’t find anything like them on a stock site.

VIBE CHECK

Your starting point: a colourful, messy, insightful questionnaire to help excavate your story, your personality, and your brand energy. This is where we uncover the raw materials that make up your vibe.

VIBE DEFINITION REPORT

Your brand story in your own words, with your colour story, personal aesthetic + brand mood distilled into a document. (Think: your Pinterest board meets creative brief.) This will serve as the guide for your content shoot, and also a visual guideline you can use for future styling, shoots, and creative direction on your brand.

VIDEO CALL

A warm, low-pressure creative session where we talk through your report, your goals, and your gut instincts, and make sure everything feels aligned before we move into creating your library.

HIYA VIBES LIBRARY

Custom still life photos. Art directed, professionally shot, and deeply ‘you’. These are no AI-generated, generic images, but handcrafted to your specification by human hands & eyes (and yes, other humans can tell and feel the difference). Perfect for use as story or carousel backgrounds, adding your vibe to your documents, homepage hero content, and more. I have a prop closet full of fun things to craft whole worlds, and you can even send in specific items to take the personalisation to the next level.

YOUR VIBE TOOLKIT

A practical guide to using your new visuals across your brand world. Inside, you’ll find tips on cropping, combining images with copy, carousel storytelling, content planning, and more. All personalised for you and your message. No more wondering how to use your assets, just clarity, creativity, and consistent vibes across every platform.

Hiya, I’m Marianne, a photographer & creative director. I’ve spent over two decades at the intersection of image-making, styling, and brand thinking. Magazine design, commercial campaigns, product photography, prop styling… I’ve worked across all of it, which means I bring a full-spectrum eye to your brand, not just one discipline’s answer to it.

But the skill that matters most here isn’t technical. It’s that I notice what you’ve edited out of yourself, the details that felt too small or too personal to be professional, and I put them back in. I find the golden thread that connects everything you are, and I give it back to you first in language, then in image. The Vibe Definition Report comes before the shoot for exactly that reason: by the time I’m building your library, I know your world well enough to make it look like it was always there.

I’ve never met a client who didn’t already have everything I needed. The skill is knowing how to draw it out and then build something with it that you’ll want to use for years.
