Nancy Kay: A Business Woman in Charge!

 Meet Nancy Kay: A Divorce Strategist, real estate agent of Keller Williams of
                              Worthington, Ohio; author, and woman of many talents!

Nancy Kay IS a woman of many talents. As a divorce strategist, Nancy uses her experience to provide guidance and support to other men and women who have also gone through the path of divorce.  Allowing herself to be transparent, it is evident she has gone through some hardship, but has turned those experiences into entrepreneurial opportunities, and stands today as a savvy business woman.

Nancy is also a writer, contributing articles to the Huffington Post that reveal her, oftentimes uncomfortable, past divorce situations that she uses as positive tips to help those going through the same issues. Not one to stand in the pain of the past, Nancy recently became a real estate agent for Keller Williams in Worthington, Ohio. Also, this year, she received a 1st Place award winner for Red Carpet Books Best Non-fiction/Memoirs for An Unsinkable Soul.

It's no wonder, why Spirit & Soul Photography was able to capture the inner strength and style of Nancy Kay: She is an unsinkable Soul!

Many who know Nancy, will quickly recognize a transformation. On the day of our shoot, in Columbus, Ohio, I observed her transform comfortably and confidently before the camera. When I first met, Nancy she was and still is a very sweet lady. Who, I met at the photo shoot was a powerful woman who seemed destined to come out and play!  Meet the new Nancy Kay!!

Nancy came out to play! She was confident, looking directly at the camera and striking poses all over the place. I asked Nancy was she a model at one time in her life. She said no. This was a new Nancy; I could tell! Once I was able to tackle the sun, which was at my back: a clear and definite no-no for photography, but I had to work within the environment, all I needed to do was point and shoot. Nancy, on the other hand was prepared for the shoot. Through our back and forth design consultations Nancy was prepared to nail her personal brand message.

For the design consultation, I had Nancy fill out a questionnaire that prompted her to think about her personal brand and how she wanted to message her personality, her company; define her audience, and what branding message she wanted to convey about her style. Style is an important factor to Spirit & Soul Photography. Our personal brand is all about being style-driven. So those who we take on as clients, know we lean toward a modern, fashion-forward look. Branding is not exclusively about a logo, actually your personal branding is more about a feeling your clients, and potential clients have about you and your business. So particularly for women, our public appearance and how that appearance is packaged is key for business women, whether it is a public look or an on-line look. An appropriate business appearance for your client is important. This also includes your look off the clock when you have to make a quick run to the grocery store. Personal style and branding should always be consistent. But, we'll save that talk for later.

In the meantime, meet the 'before' Nancy on the left. This is the Nancy I met at an E-Women's Network luncheon in early April in Cincinnati. As I stated earlier, she was and is a very nice lady. Her style on the left is a typical mid-western style: stripped sweater, dark colors. Now, meet the Nancy on the right; this is who I met at our photo shoot in Columbus. I think I saw Nancy in Chicago last week at a conference on Michigan Avenue. No, I'm just kidding, but I was on Michigan Avenue last week, and Nancy could fit right in on Michigan Avenue. This new personal brand message says confidence, savvy, along with a contemporary look. Nancy's new brand also says accessible and welcoming!

These next pictures reveal the ease and fun Nancy had with the shoot. The consultation and the relationship that Nancy and I built through our communications, I believe helped her connect with her authentic self. Photography is not all about snapping pictures, it is about creating an environment in which your client can be comfortable with who they are and connect with an idea they sometimes dream about portraying in a photo shoot. Everyone doesn't feel comfortable stepping outside the box  with just any photographer.

I believe this was accomplished. Nancy felt comfortable with being her true self as this was exactly what I wanted her to do.  She wanted to give a sense of power, confidence and style! As a photographer, who is interested in helping female entrepreneurs message their personal brand, I encouraged Nancy to be herself, something my mother always told me to do.

We also, had fun with the lifestyle portion of the shoot where Nancy stills shows her personal brand of style and confidence, but in these picture she has a softer look.  Don't you just love Nancy's shoes? Spirit & Soul Photography also provides for an additional cost, a lifestyle add-on to our basic business branding package.
