BRAND IN A DAY
A streamlined, intentional VIP day focused on reconnecting with your authentic self and creating a powerful brand that resonates with you and attracts your dream clients.
ENROLL NOW
Over the years, we've loved working with hundreds of photographers and creatives worldwide, but one thing we've consistently noticed is how busy they are! That's why we've designed our services specifically for you!
Want to work on your business but can't find the time? We get it—we're in the same boat. It's frustrating to deal with month-long timelines, juggle multiple deadlines, and delay feedback because you're travelling. We don't want to create an experience that's more stressful than it needs to be. Instead, we aim to fuel your creativity and encourage freedom (because we're just like you). That's why we've designed our VIP days to be simple, stress-free, and fun. You can book your day, work on your homework between sessions, and dedicate just ONE DAY of your schedule (hello, editing days!) to providing feedback. Busy creatives, we see you—we built this especially for you.
It's not about attracting everyone; it's about being magnetic to the people who feel like home.
We believe your personality and character are just as crucial as any aspect of your brand strategy. By showcasing your authentic self, you attract your ideal audience and build a brand that truly aligns with you. This authenticity fosters trust with your audience and allows you to command higher prices due to the unique experience your brand offers. Ultimately, leading to more opportunities to do work you love and creating greater freedom in your business. And who doesn't want more freedom? Our goal is to create a beautiful brand that genuinely represents you, quirks and all.
Our goal is to help you gain a clear understanding of yourself and your audience, while also shifting your perspective on building a sustainable and authentic business.
challenges you might be facing:
When we want to grow our business and take it to the next level, it's easy to start spinning our wheels and feel lost, confused, and disconnected. There's so much we could do, but that doesn't mean it's always aligned with who we are. That's why we want you to leave working with us feeling so damn sure of who you are.
We all do it, even me. But what if I told you that sinking back into who you are and what makes you unique is the cure to comparison? Being so sure of yourself that you instantly know when something doesn't fit.
If people constantly question your value and prices, it may be a messaging and communication issue. Does your brand scream "I'm a hobby photographer"? While I fully support DIY brands and websites, they only get you so far. It's time to leave that behind.

" I was hesitant to pull the trigger because of the cost but I knew I wanted to treat myself to this after hitting a huge goal with my business this year. I did not feel like my brand had a real voice and now it has clear direction and personality. If you're unsure about booking with Kern and Ink, just do it! they is incredibly kind and talented and really understands what you're looking for. "
Say goodbye to the disconnect between your brand and who you are. Together, we’ll create a brand that finally feels like you—authentic, aligned, and empowered.
Get a cohesive brand that creates a sense of trust that makes booking with you a no-brainer. because they see the genuine passion and professionalism behind your brand.
Have a brand that is a true reflection of who you are, that attracts clients who connect deeply with your work and personality. They become more than clients—they become your biggest fans.
No longer just offering a service; you’re creating an experience. This allows you to position yourself as a premium option and earn higher rates, as clients see the value in every interaction.
Be able to step into the role of a true professional and leave behind the hobbyist label. When you invest in a strong brand and take yourself seriously, your clients and peers will, too.
Say goodbye to comparison and trying to fit into moulds that don’t suit you. With a brand that lets your unique self shine, you’ll attract clients who appreciate you for exactly who you are.
The answer to your business's stuck feeling isn't on another photographer's website you keep scrolling through. Listen up: Put that phone down and go stand in front of the mirror—there's your answer to what you need.
Okay, it might be cheesy to say "the answers are inside of you," but it's true. What works for someone else won't necessarily work for you. That's why you need to embrace what makes you uniquely you instead.
That's why this service was designed around you. We're not here to tell you how to beat your competitors or one-up them—ew. We're here to help you reconnect with who you are and why you started in the first place. It's about alignment and sustainable growth. It's not clickbait, it's not flashy, it's just... you.
HOW IT WORKS
After Your Initial Inquiry
After you've reached out, we'll pick a date that works for you, ensuring you don't have any commitments and can respond and give feedback quickly on the VIP day. We'll send you a client portal containing your contract, questionnaire, Pinterest mood board exercise, and invoice—everything you need to get started.
Homework
In your client portal, you'll find a detailed brand questionnaire that asks various questions about you and your business. This is as much for your benefit as it is for ours—it's an opportunity to dive deep into who you are. There's also a Pinterest mood board exercise for you to complete so we can understand your vibe. You can work on this homework gradually leading up to the VIP day and submit it to us one week before the day.
Week Before
It's time to start prepping. Once you've sent your homework my way, I'll begin researching your brand and developing the perfect direction for your business. I'll then send you a video outlining all my thoughts and ideas for your feedback. After that, I'll start pulling together and designing your brand, getting everything ready for the VIP day.
The VIP day
The day is here! You'll receive a preview of your new brand in your inbox first thing in the morning. We'll then spend a fun, collaborative day together, making two rounds of revisions to perfect your brand. We'll wrap up your files and send them to you that same day!
I was exactly like you, that's why I get it.
For a few years, I felt stuck in my business. I constantly questioned what I "should" be doing, how my brand "should" appear, and who I "should" serve. I was so focused on imitating other businesses in the industry that I lost sight of myself. One day, I decided to change everything—and I mean everything! My process, approach, and mindset all shifted. I started thinking less about what I "should" be doing as a business owner and more about what feels authentic to me. Since adopting this approach, I've seen huge growth. I've been fully booked, had people saving up to work with me, and even formed genuine friendships with my clients.

I was exactly like you, that's why I do what I do.
For a few years I always felt kinda… stuck, within my business. I’ve always questioned what I “should” be doing, how my brand “should” show up, and who I “should” serve. I was so busy trying to be like every other business in the industry, that I forgot to be like myself. One day, I decided to completely change everything - and I mean EVERYTHING! My process, my approach, my mindset; I started thinking less about what I SHOULD be doing as a business owner and started thinking more about what feels like ME. Ever since I took on this fresh badass approach to my business, I’ve seen so much more growth. I've been booked out, had people saving up to work with me and even having clients I can honestly call my friends.
This all happened because my brand up-haul was personality focused. Clients see themselves within our brand. Not only is design now my full-time job, but my partner has quit his job to join the team! I went from a broke, “unemployable”, college dropout (TWICE), single mum, to a successful full-time business owner. I REALLY want to help you get the same; a brand but more importantly, a life you’ll fall in love with.

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Q's)
do you do consultation calls or zoom calls during the process?
Unfortunately, no. We are UK-based, but most of our clients are based in the US & Canada. We love working with creatives all over the world. To ensure work-life balance, we don't do calls or meetings during our process. We're huge advocates for respecting your peace, ensuring we can still get our evenings together as a family. However, we know how important it is to communicate well during the project. That's why we're open to chatting via voice notes on Instagram and happy to answer any questions via email. Before the project, we do a 'pre-recorded' consultation video, going over our thoughts and ideas so that we can get on the same page. We always encourage clients to use Loom or Vimeo to record their own videos to give us further insight into revisions or ideas if they wish. And we ask for clients' feedback every step of the way; it's a truly collaborative process. If you have any concerns, feel free to ask us for more info.
what about timezones?
is it actually done in a day?
No. This is what makes our VIP days so different and unique. You've probably heard the phrase that good design isn't done in a day, and we fully agree. We know the key to an impactful brand and high-converting website is strategy, planning, copy, and positioning. All things that take time, thoughts, and research. That's why we start our prep work a week before the VIP. Your brand and website have been our sole attention for an entire week. Then, on the VIP day, we show you what we've been working on and collaborate on any feedback and changes. It's a week for us, but one day for you. Making the service streamlined and quick while leaving all the essential strategies in place.
Our main client base is in the US so we are not strangers to timezones. We are happy to work with clients all over the world and happy to adjust the VIP day to meet those time zones. In some larger time zones, we may send a preview the day before or wrap up the final files the day after.
what if I can't give quick feedback on the day?
We always recommend giving feedback as soon as you can so we can stick to the schedule. If something comes up, just let us know. We're flexible and we understand that life stuff happens. If you're on the VIP day and feeling overwhelmed by having to make decisions quickly, then we get you, everyone processes things a little differently. Just let us know as soon as possible and we'll adjust the timeline to make it easier for you.
Can I request a quote if a package doesn't fit my needs?
Absolutely, our 'in a day' packages are built to be a entry-level to work with us, then we can add on extras to expand the package to your needs. We can add extra illustrations, merch designs, packaging, you name it.
Can I book branding now and come back for a website later?
Absolutely! As long as we have worked on your brand and have all those files in our system you can come back and book additional services or a website in a day project at any time!
What do I need before the day?
When you book in with us, you'll have some homework bits to complete before our day together such as questionnaires, and mood boards. We need these pieces completed ONE WEEK before the VIP day to allow us enough time to prep for your project and get previews sent your way before the day together. We book months in advance however so you’ll always have plenty of time to complete these.
How soon can we get started?
We only have a limited amount of projects available each month. Since we only have limited spots they tend to get booked up fast, so to ensure you don't miss out on your project we would recommend inquiring and getting booked in as soon as possible. Even if you're not ready for a few months, it's better to secure your spot in advance.
Are your illustrations one of a kind and unique to me?
All of our illustrations are hand-drawn in the studio by Sarah to create uniqueness for your branding. You get 6 of these illustrations in your branding depending on your brand and your requests.
Do you do a logo only package?
We fully believe that a logo can only do so much for your business. We want to help our clients shift their business and achieve their goals, but a logo isn't going to create an impactful change for their businesses and create the support that we truly want to provide. This package has been built to serve as that next level from 'just a logo' so it will be a better return on your investment and help you grow.
how do payment plans work?
We offer up to a 3-month payment plan for branding and a 6-month brand + web bundle plan, making the investment more flexible and affordable. However, the project does need to be paid in full before the project VIP day, so bear that in mind when choosing your date. For example, if you want to use a 6-month plan, your project would need to be booked 6 months in advance. If you want your project in two months, the payment will be split into two. We don't book further than 6 months in advance. Example, if Booking in on January, wanting a 3-month plan, your project would be booked in for March - April (depending on availability)
It's time to stop comparing yourself to others and instead lean into your quirks and lead with personality.
I could easily fill this page with promises of extra income and more clients, but that's not what we're about. We won't clickbait you with claims of "earning X in 30 days." Instead, let me ask you this: How amazing would it feel to wake up passionate and aligned with your business again? To have a clear direction? To have people see your brand and instantly connect with it, trusting you completely? That's what will truly keep you motivated and aligned for future growth.
