WHAT IS A RETAINER?

A retainer is an ongoing partnership built to provide visual assets on a consistent basis. Rather than coordinating individual shoots from scratch, your brand has a reserved place in my schedule. A retainer provides a structured content system, so your assets are always ready when your marketing needs it.

  • Multiple makeup pencils with shades of brown, beige, and red, laid on a white surface with swatches of the lip pencils' colors written underneath.

    CONSISTENCY

    The same creative strategy, the same lighting, the same visual language - every shoot builds on the last.

  • Close-up of a woman with dark curly hair smiling with eyes closed and hand touching her face.

    MOMENTUM

    Your next project starts where the last one left off - no gaps, no reintroductions.

  • Close-up of black lipstick swatches on a light-colored surface, forming curving lines.

    EFFICIENCY

    Consolidated planning reduces cost, prep time, and the need for reshoots.

  • A woman applies mascara to her upper eyelashes near her eye.

    Elevated Creative

    Each shoot builds on the last, which expands creativity and creates a visual identity that evolves and becomes stronger.

a retainer makes sense when…

  • Your content needs don’t pause between launches

  • Individual shoots are becoming harder to coordinate at the pace your brand moves

  • Visual consistency matters as well as volume

  • You’re ready to move from reactive production to a planned creative system
