Kickawesome Academy is a brand photography and visibility training program for Utah entrepreneurs who want a structured system for planning and using their brand photos.
Most business owners don’t need more random images. They need a clear plan for what to photograph, why it matters, and how to use brand photography to support their marketing.
Inside the Academy, you learn how to create strategic brand content that evolves with your business. Then you apply it through guided implementation so you’re not starting over every time you need new visuals.
Kickawesome Academy?
What is the
You want to feel seen in your brand but....
Creating brand photography consistently takes more time and planning than you expected.
You’ve booked photo sessions before… but without a system, you didn't know what to do with them.
Your business evolved. Your messaging shifted. And suddenly those brand photos Don't reflect who you are anymore.
You need a clear structure for what to photograph, when to update it, and how to use your brand photography strategically as your business grows.
thats where I come in
I’ve been a brand photographer for years, and I’ve watched so many women build incredible businesses and still feel unsure about showing up consistently in their marketing.
And if I’m honest, I get it.
I care about visibility. I teach visibility. But I still struggle with visibility too. That’s part of why I started Kickawesome Academy.
I didn’t want another one-time brand photography session that felt great for a minute and then didn’t quite fit a few months later. I wanted structure. A way to step back, look at what my business actually needs to communicate, and plan brand photography strategically instead of guessing.
Kickawesome Academy is where brand photography and visibility training come together for Utah entrepreneurs who want a clear, repeatable system for showing up.
I’ve worked with dozens of women… coaches, creatives, consultants… who care deeply about their brand and still feel stuck when it comes to showing up consistently.
What I keep seeing isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of structure around their brand photography.
There’s no clear plan for what to shoot. No rhythm for updating it. No bigger strategy for how those images support what they’re actually selling.
So they book a session when they feel behind. The photos carry them for a while. And then a few months later they’re back in the same spot… wondering what they should be posting next.
That cycle gets exhausting.
Kickawesome Academy was built to give Utah business owners a more grounded way to approach brand photography… one that actually supports their business instead of constantly reacting to it.
Kickawesome Academy gives Utah entrepreneurs structured branding and brand photography training designed to support consistent, strategic marketing.

We meet on the FIRST FRIDAY of each month for instructor-led branding and visibility training. Each session focuses on one element of brand strategy, messaging, or brand photography and how it supports your business.
If you can’t attend live, a replay is available.
Every third month, we apply what you’ve been learning through a guided in-person practicum session in Utah. This is where you implement your strategy and create updated brand photography aligned with your current business goals.
The rhythm is simple… learn, refine, implement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The practicum is a guided implementation session where you apply what you’ve learned in training and create updated brand photography aligned with your current business goals. It is designed to reinforce strategy, not just capture images.
What happens during the quarterly practicum?
Live training happens on the first Friday of every month at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. If you can’t attend live, you’ll receive the recording so you can stay current with the training.
Do i have to attend the monthly calls live?
Kickawesome Academy is structured as a professional development training program. Utah-based businesses may inquire about Custom Fit eligibility through their local provider.
Can this qualify for Custom Fit funding in Utah?
Enrollment requires a 6-month minimum commitment, billed monthly at $200 per month. This allows you to complete one full training cycle and participate in a quarterly practicum.
What is the commitment?
Yes. If you book a VIP session during your membership, it replaces your quarterly practicum for that cycle. Academy members have access to a preferred VIP rate.
Can I add a VIP session while in the Academy?
VIP sessions are immersive, one-time experiences. Kickawesome Academy is ongoing support. Some clients choose to continue with the Academy after a VIP session to maintain alignment and consistency.
What if I’ve already done a VIP session?
The monthly branding and visibility training can be attended from anywhere. Quarterly practicum sessions are held in Utah. If you are outside of Utah and cannot attend in person, you can inquire about a training-only option.
Do I have to be located in Utah?
Motion capture is available as an optional add-on during any quarterly practicum. Add it when it supports your marketing. Skip it when it doesn’t.

My favorite photographer!
My photoshoots with Heather have been some of my favorite ones ever! She knows how to have fun and make me less akward!
Teila Marie -Business mindset coach
I can't believe my growth!
"I’ve worked with Heather multiple times now, and every shoot is somehow better than the last. Heather is a rare gem. She brings her whole self to every shoot. Creative, present, all in. It’s always fun, and the photos? I’m obsessed. Every. Time.”
You open your gallery and don’t feel that little drop in your stomach.
The photos feel like you. Current. Usable. Not something you have to twist into fitting your website or your marketing.
You’re not digging through old folders trying to make something work.
Your website feels updated.
Your Instagram doesn’t feel disconnected from who you are now.
Your brand photography actually matches the stage of business you’re in.
And when people reach out, it’s not because you posted louder. It’s because they feel something consistent.
They understand what you do.
They get a sense of who you are.
They don’t feel confused.
You’re not scrambling anymore.
You’re showing up with a plan.
Imagine this...
I'm ready!
What Happens When You Keep Putting It Off?
- You keep using the same photos, even though they don’t really match where you are now.
- Your brand stays stuck in “almost there” mode
- Your brand feels close… but not fully there.
- Your online presence feels like a placeholder instead of a reflection
- You fall behind on content because it always ends up at the bottom of the list.
- Your website and social media feel more like placeholders than something intentional.
- And the version of you people are actually meant to connect with doesn’t fully come through.
