Brand Story Client Feature in Omaha Nebraska

Megan Hale is a business coach who inspires people to open up about a topic that makes many of us cringe: Money.

When Megan decided to rebrand herself in order to zero in on her identity as both a money strategist and a therapeutic healer, she needed photos that reflected her approach. 

As a former psychotherapist, an Air Force wife, and the mother of two boys, Megan is an agent of change, and she does it compassionately with every client she meets. She believes individuals hold the answers they seek; that they have special gifts to share but just need a little help letting go of the disempowered stories they tell themselves so they can move forward with greatness. Megan wants everyone to have the abundant, fulfilling and powerful life they deserve, starting with money, business and entrepreneurship – all areas where many people feel fear or overwhelmed, which prevents them from taking steps to achieve their dreams. 

Megan reached out to us last summer to book a personal brand photography shoot. What’s a brand story photoshoot? Find out more here.  Part of our process includes what we call the “8 questions,” which we ask to gain a clear picture of what clients like Megan are trying to achieve before we start working on their project. Megan answered our  8 questions so we could fully understand where she was coming from and the goals she wanted to achieve. Then, we went to work. 

“I explained that I wanted my photos to reflect my down-to-earth approach when it comes to money,” says Megan, who also is a certified Profit First Ⓡ Strategist. “It’s a very charged topic for people. I needed photos that told that story and the work that I do.” 

Megan’s photoshoot began at 6 a.m. with hair and makeup. We shot personal brand photos at different locations so each backdrop was as interesting and as compelling as Megan herself.  The four locations included Zen Coffee Company,  Mullhall’s Nursery, downtown Omaha, and at our Council Bluffs studio. Our hair and makeup team accompanied us throughout the day to help keep Megan looking modelesque and camera-ready and to help with style changes. 

Eight hours later – including an amazing lunch and motivating conversation at Blue Sushi – we were done. It was a long day, but worth it for all of us. 

“I felt super comfortable and taken care of,” Megan says. “Machaela and Vivian thought of everything. There was nothing I was confused about and they took care of every detail.” 

Megan was fun and easy to collaborate with; a dream client for sure.  We were motivated and inspired by Megan, and it didn’t take long to feel like we were shooting with a friend.  A friend who is helping others achieve greatness. It was an honor to be along for the ride!

Today, Megan’s brand – and her coaching business – is getting more attention and more traction so that Megan can not only help clients reach their goals and dreams – she is reaching her own. 

“Mac and V didn’t just create the right vibe – they made it ME,” Megan says. “They create photos that are custom to you and your brand, with the messaging you want to communicate. I’ve never worked with photographers that will go to the lengths they did. It was like going to a candy shop and having all my favorite candy right there for me. These are photographers I will have a long-term relationship with.”
