The Mission
Larks Atelier exists because I know exactly what it costs to have the talent but not the visibility. To do beautiful work that no one outside your existing circle ever finds. To wonder if photography can really pay the bills, and to feel quietly ashamed for hoping it can.
It can. And it should.
This studio was built to close the gap between where you are and where you're meant to be; with strategy-led Showit website design, SEO built into every page, and a guide who genuinely believes in what you're building.
More personally, Larks Atelier is an ongoing love letter to my children. To never stop learning. To never be afraid of faithfully venturing into the unforeseen. To push the boundaries of your own artistry.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
I started as a photographer; deeply in love with the wedding industry and documenting love stories that made me cry happy tears behind the lens. For a while, that was enough.
But somewhere along the way I fell into a trap I didn't see coming.
I became consumed by comparison, convinced that if I just worked harder, posted more, and shot better then visibility would follow.
I poured everything into proving myself and got further from myself in the process.
I hit a wall, hard. And in that quiet, frustrated season... the one where nothing was working and I didn't know why, I started redesigning my own website. Just for fun.
Then I started studying what made certain photographers magnetic online. Why some websites converted and others didn't. How SEO quietly filled calendars while photographers slept. I became obsessed with the strategy behind design and getting talented photographers away from self-doubt and found by their dream clients.
It turns out the problem was never my talent. It was that no one had ever handed me a roadmap.
Once I had the strategy, everything shifted. And I realized I couldn't be the only one wandering around without it.
My whole life I've been the person who sits down with the people she loves, maps the plan, and refuses to let them stay stuck. I did it for my husband as he pursued his path to becoming an Army pilot. I've done it for business owner friends; mapping directions, holding them accountable, cheering every step. It has always come naturally for others.
Larks Atelier is me finally doing it for myself, and turning that same relentless belief in other people into a business built to guide photographers out of the fog and into the visibility they were always meant to have.
I'm not just your designer. I'm the person who will sit with you, map the plan, and refuse to let you stay stuck.
Behind the studio
Building something of my own, in between outdoor adventures and lots of coffee cups.
When I'm not deep in a design or mapping out an SEO strategy, you'll find me with my husband chasing my toddler through the Alaska wilderness, the little boy we're fairly convinced is secretly training to become the next Ninja Warrior.
I'm married to my incredibly supportive husband, an Army pilot and my biggest cheerleader; and together we have built a life that looks a little like controlled chaos and a whole lot like adventure. Hiking, skiing, camping, paddle-boarding, long drives through landscapes that don't look real. It's quite the little life and I wouldn't trade a single season of it.
Running Larks Atelier in the middle of all of it is one of the greatest gifts I've been given. The ability to build something meaningful, on my own terms, while showing my kids what it looks like to go after what you love...
that's the whole point.
If you're a parent building something of your own, or a dreamer doing it in the margins of a full life... I see you.
This is for you too.
I get to know you before I touch the design. The stories that light your soul, the "why" behind what you do, the clients you were made to serve. These aren't just background details for me; their the foundation for intuitive and intentional design. Every design decision we make together is rooted in the heart of your business, so what we build feels unmistakably like you.
You're entrusting me with your vision, and I don't take that lightly. It's not your talent blending in with others, it's that no one has guided you into the strategies that set you apart. I'm here to change that. Every website I build is designed to work as hard as you do; getting you found, earning trust, and booking the right clients.
Your vision requires vulnerability in dreaming, and I'm so incredibly honored to be trusted with such a treasure. When working together, my desire is that you feel as though we are sitting in the living room - umm, coffee in hand of course - and going absolutely nuts in dreaming and scheming for your growth potential.
The love you show to your clients through the heart of your artistry is unique and purposeful. I'm rooting for you, and fully believe in the potential of my clients to rise beyond comparison with the right strategies in designs set in place to set them apart.
You've poured years into your craft with the stories, the relationships, and the artistry that keeps you inspired. My promise is to honor that and place it at the center of every design decision. The result is a digital home that feels immersive, intentional, and unmistakably you. You are too gifted, too committed, too full of fire to blend in.
the foundation of everything we build
When your business is built with intention, comparison no longer has a voice. A strategic website creates clarity, direction, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you're showing up; on Google, in your clients' inboxes, and in the industry, exactly as you were meant to.
Using Larks Atelier was the best choice I have made for my small business. I honestly feel like the quality of my website has set me apart from others in my industry. Since Brittany created my website I have been fully booked month after month. I highly recommend Larks Atelier for all your website needs.
