    Ep. 130 - Posing with Udo Asomugha

    Ep. 130 - Posing with Udo Asomugha

    Happy Woo Wednesdays. Today Udo reminds us creatives + entrepreneurs: Never give up. If you believe you've been called to do a particular assignment that's in tandem to your calling, never give up. Take breaks! But never abandon what's been placed within you! It's there for a reason. Give in to it!

    Udo Asomugha Studios is a female, black-owned boutique photography studio in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles County. Celebrating a decade behind the lens, Udo's journey in photography has transformed into a heartfelt dedication to capturing the essence of life's most cherished moments and she is genuinely thrilled to continue celebrating you from behind the lens. Her Nigerian heritage, the backdrop of artistic elegance, became her canvas for personal expression. Her photography sits at the intersection of transformation and revelation, witnessing this revelation of every client who comes to my studio.

    Hot Topic:

    Posing! In this selfie world, people still dread getting in front of a professional camera. The main question I always get is, "What do I do with my hands?"
    Relax and follow me, i'll give you every bit if direction you need. You wont stop hearing my voice. You'll end up feeling like a pro, afterwards.

    Freebie for HECK YES listeners

    I'll give one (1) blessed listener a $0 session fee valued at $500 for a maternity session, modern woman session or full branding session. If you're pregnant, I photograph you between 27-32 weeks into your pregnancy.

    Ep. 129 - Creating a brand identity - Shantel - New Pics on the Block

    Ep. 129 - Creating a brand identity - Shantel - New Pics on the Block

    Happy Woo Wednesdays! I have Shantel in the Get a HECK YES House with New Pics on the block photobooth. I hired her company for my book signing party. They have the best photobooth. Today we talk about Creating a brand identity.

    If you need a new brand identity, reach out to me.

    Shantel reminds us to be true to yourself, no matter what. We got the right stuff!

    Bio

    Hi and aloha! My name is Shantel and owner of New Pics On The Block photo booth services. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hi. I have always loved the 80s and 90s fashion, music, movies, anything and everything from those decades.

    Hot topic:

    Creating a brand identity.

    -"hi, name is…slim shady" create a name to reflect your company
    -Get that logo to match it!
    -take that name and express yourself with your branding
    -create you social platforms. Colors, patterns, etc
    -mix your branding and identity into your company from our prop, backdrops and our van!
    -Dont stop believing. You will have hard times, your lows, moments you want to quit, but when you believe in your brand and what it can so, it will take you there.

    Favorite sales technique : How do you get a HECK YES from your dream clients?

    Focusing on the customers wants. A photo booth is not necessarily a need, since we are usually the last ones to get booked for almost all events, clients want something fun, memorable, and easy. Therefore, we come in to help provide a service to help capture those moments, give their guests a great time, and a photo album to help them look back on all the memories that were had.

    For our HECK YES listeners: If you contact us and mention "Heck yes podcast" you get $100 off any package.

The Vow Whisperer ,

Heck yes, for sure!

Carissa is one of these hosts who keeps a conversation flowing so easily and fluidly. There was never a moment where I didn’t feel totally comfortable….as if I was just hanging with a friend.
She knows her audience really well and has done the research on her guests to really understand who they are..the result is a wonderful hour of banter.

Chapmark ,

Insightful and engaging

Carissa’s podcast is insightful, engaging and easy to listen to. Highly recommended for wedding pros who want bite-sized chunks of learning from top level experts.

Loving, energetic and the best coach you could ask for!

I “met” Carissa through this podcast - for a year I listened, learned and loved her energy and service to our creative community. I’m honored to call her a friend and business coach now since July of 2023. She’s worked cohesively with my small team and 2024 (2nd season in business) will be incredible!
