Look at this spiffy new badge I got. I have been volunteering as a mentor with @eforallcapecod since 2020. I love it. I am also an alum from 2019. I love everything about this program and giving back to it. I display this badge with joy, I even put it on my website! If you are a newly minted entrepreneur looking for resources or if you are a seasoned member of the business community looking to give back, I recomend @eforallhq. #imagesbysaraphina #eforallcapecod #eforallfam #mentorship #entrepreneursupport #entrepreneurship #tiptuesday #volunteer

One of my biggest FAQ's "What kind of projects do you do?" Logos, product images, marketing collateral design etc. My question is, how can an art department help your business? #marketing #protip #branding #imagesbysaraphina #b2b #artdepartment #smallbusiness #photographer #graphicdesigner #businessservices #graphicdesign #b2bservices #eforallcapecod #womeninbusiness

Yesterday Pantone announced the Color of the Year 2024: PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. Below is what they said about it — but I’m curious what YOU think? A velvety gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and heart. A warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others and the feelings this creates, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness. Subtly sensual, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a heartfelt peach hue bringing a feeling of tenderness and communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration. Highly suggestive of good taste, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a gift to the senses, creating a symbiotic relationship between our sense of taste, sight, touch, and scent. #imagesbysaraphina #pantonecoloroftheyear #peachfuzz #pantone

Hi, I am Saraphina! If you are new around here let me tell you about myself. I am commercial photographer and graphic artist. My company is an award-winning virtual art department called “Images by Saraphina”. I get to help small businesses that do not have an in-house creative team get the artwork they need to move their mission forward. What does that look like? Brand development, marketing, advertising, and events are the types of projects I love to take on! I am a kid at heart with a sweet tooth and a soft spot for cats and highland cows. I live on Cape Cod, but I grew up in Western Mass (Pioneer Valley and Berkshires). Typically, my clients are small companies and solopreneurs who are passionate about what they do and are ready to outsource what is not in their wheelhouse. I listen to their stories and create the visuals to match. If you have ever tried to use pictures from your cell phone or design something quick with an online template and it either did not come out the way you hoped or you just did not have the time to do it right on your own - that is a great time to reach out to me, I can help you with that! #imagesbysaraphina #letmeintroducemyself #gettoknowme #photographer #graphicdesigner #meetthefounder #smallbusiness #businessservices #capecod #b2b #artdepartment #eforallcapecod #eforall

Happy Thanksgiving! For everyone who eats cranberry sauce, tell me, homemade or from a can? Personally, I am a homemade cranberry sauce kind of gal. I created a digital recipe card of how I make it. Wanna try it? Download it from my website here https://www.imagesbysaraphina.com/happy-thanksgiving

Pro-Tip Tuesday - Sharing your business card online. We've all seen it. Many of us have done it. But no one really talks about it. While it seems like a quick and simple way to share your information - posting or texting a picture of your business card, is not as helpful as you think. First, it is hard to read, the picture may be angled or blurry or there may be a glare. Even if your target market sees it, this may not grab their attention. At the very least crop the picture in so you do not see the extra space around the card. Better yet, have a digital version of the print file that you can share. This way it is clear and easy to read. That 'picture' will be consistent with the card you hand out in person and you can use it in the signature of your email too. If I have designed your business card, you know I gave you a "digital share file" for this very reason. Another great option is to type out the info and save it as a note on your phone so you can copy & paste when you need to share it. Bonus there - your website or social profile will be clickable. Making you all the easier to connect with later. On social media, I recommend posting the digital share file of your card along with the typed info. Best of both worlds. They will see your card clearly and any branding elements on there as well as be able to click on your profile or website. Win-Win. #imagesbysaraphina #protip #protiptuesday #businessprotips #businesscard #socialmediamarketing

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! I certainly did 😊 I unplugged and enjoyed the weather. I tried to not work at all for three whole days. This is the only picture I took all weekend, but I was compelled to capture it. This didn’t feel like work at all. I’m sharing it because it’s important to remember many of us creative professionals are still art school nerds at heart watching the light. #imagesbysaraphina #photographyispaintingwithlight #photooftheday #treescape #naturephotography #naturephoto #creativeinspiration #lookup #natureshots

I just started reading 'Profit First' by Mike Michalowicz and it's already changing my perspective on managing finances in business. The fact that it is humorously written and even references Star Trek is also fun and helps me stay focused on the book and its principles. Thanks to Dolly Towne from @a_la_carte_business_advisors for recommending this book. You were SO right! #imagesbysaraphina #currentlyreading #businessbooks #profitfirst #professionaldevelopment

"The most important thing to remember is you must know your audience." - Lewis Howes This may sound a bit basic but think back to when you were about to start your business. Who did you think your brand's audience was, and who is it now that you have been in business for a while? I know my audience (target market) changed. That awareness did wonders for my business. Do you know who your audience is? Are your branding and marketing efforts getting your business the right audience? If not, let me know, I would love to help. #imagesbysaraphina #b2b #b2bservices #graphicdesign #branding #brandidentity #marketing #targetmarket #targetmarketing #quote #qotd #businessquotes

Today, Saturday, August 19, is photography day. I double dog dare you to find something that makes you smile and take a picture to remember it by.

What I love about my job is two days are never the same! I’ve gotten a few questions lately about Barbie, so I figured I would do a post. Let’s do this folks, let’s dig in, let’s talk about Barbie. The marketing behind this film is a force to be reckoned with. As a marketing nerd I love every second of it -I really do- I think it’s fantastic (dressed in plastic)! But for me, for my branding, for myself, I say Barbie is not authentic to me. I was never a Barbie girl. I didn’t like that song back in the 90s. And I really cannot stand the color hot pink. Again this is personal. Lots of my friends and colleagues can rock pink and I support that - it’s just not for me. I have not, nor do I plan to, see the movie. And I had no intention of doing a Barbie post until I had a few clients asked me if I thought they should. So I’m going to tell all of you the same thing I told them: if you are in fact, a Barbie girl, and you want to jump into her hot pink convertible with your brand for a minute then - absolutely, go for it! But if, like me, it’s not really your jam - then don’t. I mean, I couldn’t even bring myself to use the pink Barbie logo for this post. 🤷‍♀️ #imagesbysaraphina #marketing #trends #advice #barbie #tobarbieornottobarbie #socialmediatrends

👋 Do you talk with your hands? I sometimes use this ven diagram to help visualize what is do. (I used to use a “yellow and blue make green” version but I recently recreated it in my brand colors.) This came out of a real life talking with my hands moment. I put up one hand while I said ✋“I am a photographer” then I put up my other hand and said 🤚“and a graphic designer” then I put my hands together and said, “Images by Saraphina is a company where those two services overlap”🤝 As I was saying that and gesturing with my hands - I could visualize of a ven diagram in my head. Voilà 🎊 Graphics and images tell a great story, especially when not talking with our hands 🙌 😆 #imagesbysaraphina #vendiagram #italkwithmyhands #graphicdesign #visualstorytelling #infographic

Shout Out to JB Webstudio! I met Judy while speaking at EvoBizDevo and she followed up with me right away, excited that we were both on Cape Cod. After meeting in real life for a cup of coffee, Judy asked me about head shots and I told her about telling a more complete story with images. As a web designer, she totally understood where I was coming from and that is when she asked me to photograph her and her studio space. It was so much fun! The hour flew by in a blink and she got some really great images for her marketing image library. Here are my favorites from her order. I love the coffee picture because it is what we bonded over, the images of her workspace bright and happy, the image of her working and if you look close you can see her face reflected in her laptop, and finally the image of her with her book looking out on her beautiful view lost in thought. Thank you Judy for trusting me with your images! #imagesbysaraphina #b2bphotographer #marketingimages #capecodbusiness #womenownedsmallbusiness #brandimages #b2b #capecodsmallbusiness

Work / life harmony time! #imagesbysaraphina #summervacation #restandrelaxation #holidaybreak

Happy LEON Day! Leon is Noel spelled backwards and it marks the 6 Month countdown to Christmas. It’s also when artisans and marketers start holiday season content creation. I know. I know. I can hear you from here… “Summer just started“ And “I’m just getting my plans ready for viewing the Fireworks for the 4th” or perhaps a simple “How dare you?” I agree with you, truly, but my work calendar is usually looking three to six months ahead. What I like about my work being ahead of the holidays is when the actual season starts, I can just enjoy it. 🎄 So if you are always behind and playing catch up at the holidays in your business let’s talk now.

That is a real picture of me taken by a friend of mine, as well as a real picture of a mushroom that I took while on a walk in Falmouth. The rest is just a touch of digital fairy magic, or should I say Photoshop. Hey, pixels … pixies… it’s all fun! Photoshop is an excellent tool and can be used for so many things. I love diving into Photoshop and having some fun, so if you have an idea that may need a little "digital magic" be it for personal or business uses, I would be thrilled to help you with that. #imagesbysaraphina #pixelmagician #photoshopmagic #internationalfairyday #imageretouching #photoshop #selfportrait

What do you keep in your desk (or bag or car etc) that keeps you going and makes you smile? I confess I keep candies in my top desk drawer. I have been doing this for as long as I can remember. Open the top drawer, and bam, there is a treat just in case. Usually, in the afternoon stretch, I go for a quick pick-me-up. Up until this year, it was always some form of mint. This past holiday season I got a lovely gift from a friend and client that was filled with amazing, tasty treats. One of those treats was a tin of fruity candies. I saw the tin and was instantly transported back to my teenage self. I was a foreign exchange student in high school. On the first day with my homestay family in England, my homestay Mum offered me a sweet from a tin that looked just like the one in my gift basket. I had totally forgotten about these sweets even though I had one every day after school before having tea. This tin of candies ended up in my desk drawer and I had one each day while at my desk. The day I had the last one I was sad. I tried to go back to my standard mints and it was not the same. I decided I wanted to buy more of these sweets. Today, I opened my new tin of orange sweets and I am just so darn happy. #imagesbysaraphina #treats #afternoonpickmeup #sweets #orangeismyfavorite #gettoknowme #confessions

It’s a rare occasion- beyond gorgeous day in January. While outside doing yard work with my partner I stopped to notice something beautiful. The sun and shadow being cast through my porch light needed to be documented, in black and white of course. #imagesbysaraphina #blackandwhitephotography #iloveagoodshadow #paintingwithlight #saturdayfeels #alwaysstopandlookaround #personalproject

What holiday/year end traditions do you hold dear, personally? Every year, at some point in the days leading up to Christmas I read ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens. Due to the crazy weather and spotty internet and flickering electricity- today was the day. The effects of this storm added to the experience this year 😂 #holidaytraditions #achristmascarol #charlesdickens #reread #yearendholiday #holidaybreak #ghoststoriesforchristmas

Merry everything and happy always! #imagesbysaraphina #rudolph #lighthouse #happyholidays

Behind the scenes sneak peek. Thank you to my friend and colleague Nicole of @MonomoySocialMedia for sneaking this photo of me while I was on a shoot at @Branches_Chatham yesterday. While it may have been 5 o'clock somewhere - it was 10 am in Chatham so those beers were only pictured, not consumed. 😂 #imagesbysaraphina #monomoysocialmedia #branchesgrillandcafe #photoshoot #behindthescenes #b2bcapecod #capecodphotographer #capecodrestaurant
