Our Process
Dream it.
It’s pertinent to hire a marketing agency who has experience working in the webspace and knows how to capture images and video for all of your marketing purposes. Brand photography and video needs to be versatile; capturing sizes for flat lay displays, banner images, pop up promotions, email campaigns and social feeds.
Build it.
We’ll schedule a brand planning meeting to formulate your entire project and outline the project scope and production session. Colors, textures and props will be selected to fully carry out your vision. Soon after, we’ll start production in and around Maryland at your location of choice. Afterward, you’ll receive a gallery of high-resolution brand photos and videos to use for web, social media and print. After your content is done, we’ll teach you how to use your photos and videos for web and social platforms.
Grow It.
Let’s work together to market your product or service through social media marketing, SEO, digital marketing and influencer marketing. Jessica Buswell was just featured in the Baltimore Sun as a “real mom influencer” of Howard County, Maryland! She founded M.OTHERS Magazine and actively runs the Howard County M.OTHERS chapter. Check out M.OTHERS to see if our platform fits your brand for marketing!
“I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to any small business owner looking for head shots and/or branding photos. She listened to what I was looking for and produced a ton of gorgeous images that I can use for marketing.”

The Columbia Mom
The Columbia Mom (TCM) is an online community publication for readers to find anything from local Howard County Maryland events to summer camps and date night ideas. The website was designed to host thousands of articles for the community, while also discreetly informing businesses how they can advertise with TCM. TCM needed a way to auto-capture its subscribers so they could advertise via newsletters and wanted a calendar feature. An appointment scheduling system was integrated into their website to easily arrange meetings, while also providing the client with a sales contract and a way to make a payment via square. All of the photography was done by Jessica in her Ellicott City, Maryland studio.
Make it stand out with video.
Product videos make all the difference in today’s online marketplace. According to Amazon, it’s highly recommend that all products you’re selling have at least one video as it helps drive sales. Your video will also help you track views and engagement data in order to create content that influences your customers. We’ll work together to create a creative outline for your project and hire models and or community influencers to bring your products to life.
“I've been an admirer of Jess's work on Instagram for a few years now and when I needed lifestyle videos for my new Amazon products, I new I wanted Jess to do it. She's great at bringing out true human emotion in her pictures - and now her video's. Jess is also great to work, fun and easy going, but she also has a great eye for style and design.
— Jessica Mercer, CEO Crutello
