Meet Kelli Duran,

owner of Pure Soul Holistics & After Love Doula in Spring, Texas. Kelli is a beautiful soul with a heart for walking with families through the postpartum period and beyond. From our initial discovery call and throughout her detailed questionnaire, this passion for supporting families shone through!

Tight timeline? I got you.

Most of my brand photography sessions start 6-8 weeks before the photoshoot date. Not so with Kelli's! She had a tight timeline because she was expecting her sixth (!!!) baby soon and needed website and social media content to carry her through her late pregnancy and postpartum period.


Kelli's three keywords guided our session planning and execution:

Peaceful
Tender
Supportive

the importance of pre-session planning

I lean towards the "crunchy" side ;) but I had never worked with a holistic provider just like Kelli so I had a lot to learn. Despite our abbreviated planning timeline, we made time for a discovery call, questionnaire, planning call, and photoshoot guide... no cutting corners, even with a tight schedule! All of these were essential to make sure I understood what Kelli did and how I could visually communicate this to her ideal clients. These services included:

  • Cold Laser Therapy
  • 3-D Body Scans
  • Zyto Bioenergetic Scans
  • Vibrations Remedies
  • Bach Flowers, Herbs, Homeopathies, Nutrition, & Aromatherapy

In addition to the postpartum support she offers, including:

  • Meal prepping and fresh made meals
  • Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support
  • Herbal remedies and herbal baths
  • Infant massage

A thousand words

So much of what Kelli does for her families goes beyond a product or service. Her tender touch, gentle smile, and nurturing support for mama & baby were something that we had to capture by incorporating other people. I'm so thankful Kelli trusted me to show through photography what even a thousand words couldn't capture about the way she cares for people!

If you're a holistic healthcare provider

such as a nutritionist, chiropractor, naturopatic doctor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, or homeopathic doctor, you have the opportunity to not just tell but show your ideal (and potential) clients what you do! What are you waiting for?
