You want the world to know…

That your kimchi is perfection, that your heritage beans are a game-changer, that your olive oil is fresh in flavor and style. You have a vision for your Instagram feed, and if your to-do list were less than a hundred items long, if that crack in your screen didn’t make it so hard to edit your Reels, you’d totally be on top of it, right? Photos, videos, collaborations, copywriting—your palms just got sweaty thinking about how desperately you need to be on top of it, because your brand won’t grow itself and your budget has zero room for $1,000 shoots that deliver a handful of assets for a single post.

I get it.

You need great visual content. You want to collaborate with compatible brands. You can’t waste your time on anything less than bang-for-your-buck. Enter Counter Collaborative: bring your brand or brand collaboration to my counter, I’ll customize a shoot for everyone involved, we’ll keep the price affordable for a small brand budget. A friendly, rising-tide-lifts-all-boats approach to your creative asset needs.

Let’s check details
 

What my clients are saying

 
“Catherine has brought my visions to life again and again and I couldn’t imagine our small team without her. She thoughtfully listens to feedback, but is also willing to run with a concept if sh*t is hitting the fan and I don’t have time to think through the full vision. As we were starting out, we only had inspiration from other sites to draw from, but through our work together Catherine was able to define our style into something that is uniquely Primary Beans - incorporating our color palate and other values like seasonal produce and fuss-free cooking.”
— Lesley Sykes, co-founder Primary Beans
 

What I’ve been up to lately

These short winter days have me longing for lingering sunsets & porch picnics, like this one shot for @greek_recipes and @primarybeans last summer! 🦐

I always keep a couple jars of fridge pickles on hand, and grab them for a quick snack, some pizzaz on a salad, or an already-ready-already appetizer. For these turmeric cauli pickles, I added warm spices for a pickle that tastes like fall. Link to r
