    I’m so excited to feature Ellyse, owner of Salted Designs – a Branding + Design Studio, helping entrepreneurs and corporations spice up their image!  We met at a networking get-together in the Iowa City area and she decided to hire me to create lifestyle beauty headshots for her and her amazing business!  (These headshots were done in a privately owned home in Kalona.)  Ellyse currently works with new and established businesses, small and large; however in 2019 her goal is to work more with female entrepreneurs.  (Hear that, ladies!  Contact her!!)  She wants to help women achieve their dream and see the vision for their business come to life!

    Here’s a little bit more about her story, but head over to check out Ellyse at Salted Designs!!

    I started my business in 2006 as a Junior in High School, but have pivoted it several times, resulting in the business it is today. I love every moment; from meeting a business owner to planning to revealing their final design and seeing their vision come alive. My passion for working with different fonts, colors, and designs is something I have had from a young age; but honestly, nothing beats the feeling I get when a customer loves what they receive, and seeing their brand that I helped create out in the public.

    I felt so good after being styled, having my make-up done, chatting with all the amazing women, and then Stephanie made me feel so beautiful and confident. Stephanie is so much more than a photographer. The photos turned out better than I could have imagined!  I cannot wait to use this on my new website and business card. But what’s most important is this newly found confidence has resulted in three new clients!

    We were chatting one day about her brand and the image she was trying to convey and the idea of “Lifestyle Branding Experience” was born! Branding is everything… and I’m so excited to be offering this service to business owners who crave photographs in stunning, bright color and that offer a laid back, professional look with plenty of personality added in.
    I’m so thankful for Allison believing in my work and allowing me to help her take her business to the next level.

    I decided to do the branding experience with Stephanie because I wanted to have consistency in my brand and really be able to show what Hydrangea Bloom is about.  I believe that  Hydrangea Bloom is so much more than a product/service. I saw Stephanie’s work and I knew she could deliver on the aesthetic I was going for.  She not only captured beautiful photos but she captured my personality and helped my brand come alive in still images! I am so in love with the photos that I already have booked her for another session.  She took my brand an captured it beyond my expectations!

    Hydrangea Bloom is an Event floral design company that specializes in wedding floral design. Hydrangea Bloom became in exsistance because I saw a need for a better, more personalized wedding floral experience.  I wanted to brides to look back on their planning and have floral design be one of their most memorable experiences. I wanted each meeting to be fun and personalized, that’s why we meet for coffee, lunch, or even happy hour (my personal fav). Most often are brides have dreamed about their wedding day since they were a little girl and we want to take those dreams and inspirations and make them become reality.  We will work with you every step of the way to develop and tailor your wedding design.  Our bridal bouquets are the pride and joy of Hydrangea Bloom and the reaction of when we deliver a one of a kind bridal bouquet is pure bliss.  When you work with Hydrangea Bloom you are definitely getting way more than just flowers you are becoming Hydrangea Bloom family.
