Over the years, we've loved working with hundreds of photographers, wedding pros 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 week to be simple, stress-free, and fun. You can book your week, work on your homework between sessions, and dedicate just ONE WEEK 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. 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.

" 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. "
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.
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.
When we want to grow our business and take it to the next level, it's easy to 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. We want you to leave working with us feeling so damn sure of who you are.
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 take your business seriously so everyone else will too.
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. That's now what I help others do! I'm not just some 'designer' saying all those design terms that make you roll your eyes, I created these packages from my own experience and my own trial and errors.
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 during the intensive. 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 intensive, and submit it to us one week before the start 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 intensive.
The Week
It's time! We'll spend the intensive together in a fun, collaborative way, making two rounds of revisions to perfect your brand. We'll wrap up your files and send them to you at the end of the intensive.
The answer to your business's stuck feeling isn't on another industry pro'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 just a tad cheesy to say "the answers are inside of you," but it's true. What works for someone else won't work for you. That's why you need to embrace what makes you unique 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... because... 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.
logo folio
Not to brag, but we were kinda one of the first OG people to do this kinda thing, 7 years experience in creating illustrated branding inspired by tattoo design.
This package is about more than just deliverables; it's about the crazy magic that happens when you show up with more of you in your brand and let that personality take the lead. Your ideal audience becomes magnetic to your business because they see themselves within your brand.

the deliverables & details
I’ve been studying art for as long as I can remember — it’s not just what I do, it’s how I see the world. I don’t follow trends; I bring in everything I’ve learned from fine art, painting, printmaking, and photography. Want your brand to look like a lino-cut by hand? Done. Want college-style visuals that feel editorial and unique? I actually did this recently.
✓ business card & notecard
These are your real-world brand touchpoints, ideal for welcome packs, thank-you notes, wedding fairs, or markets. We design a business card and notecard set that’s easy and affordable to print, but if you want to go all out with gold foil, embossing, or textured stock, we can make that happen too. You’ll also get your designs in 8 different colourways, so you can switch things up seasonally or just keep things feeling fresh: all while staying completely on-brand.
✓ 6 Custom Illustrations
Each illustration is drawn entirely from scratch, by hand, just for you: no stock graphics, Pinterest copies, or shortcuts. Inspired by the world of tattoo design, from bold traditional styles to soft, detailed line work, these custom pieces bring character and depth to your brand. Whether they’re used on packaging, socials, or print, they make your brand instantly recognisable and completely one of a kind.
value: priceless
This workbook has been refined over 7+ years to ask the questions that actually matter, not some template pulled off Google. It goes beyond business goals and audiences, and digs into who you are, why you’re doing this, and what makes your brand you. It’s all about sparking clarity and surfacing the good, juicy bits we’ll use to build a brand that feels true, confident, and totally aligned. This is the foundation. Everything builds from here.
✓ brand book & content strategy
We take your questionnaire answers and transform them into a clear, editable Google Doc that outlines your brand’s voice, values, messaging, audience insights, and content ideas. It’s not just strategy, it’s a practical content guide you can actually use. We analyze the elements of your brand and provide you with a clear understanding of what your audience wants to hear from you. We also go into depth about content ideas you can use!
✓ colours & fonts
We mix design psychology with real collaboration, walking you through fonts and colours that feel right and make sense. Want something Western but romantic? We’ll show you both ends of the scale and everything in between, so you can pick what fits best. When it comes to colour, we don’t just think about mood or symbolism; we also look at your actual work, especially if you’re creative. We make sure your palette supports your editing style now, and still works if that changes later.
✓ 12 logo designs
Most designers give you a main logo, a secondary, and maybe a word mark. We give you 12 custom logos, all built around your brand, mixing styles, shapes, and illustrated versions. Why? Because brands evolve. You get bored. With 12 logos, you can switch things up anytime without needing a full rebrand, just easy, on-brand flexibility making your brand more usable for years to come!
✓ highlight covers
Seen those cute little highlight covers on Instagram? Now you can have your own, but custom and fully on-brand. We take your hand-drawn illustrations (and maybe a logo or two) and turn them into a set of Instagram highlight covers in your brand colours, so your profile feels polished and cohesive. We’ll also include a couple of profile picture options, perfectly sized and styled, so you’re not stuck cropping logos or guessing what fits in that circle.
✓ launch graphics
Want to show off your new branding in style? We’ve got you covered. We create mockup graphics for Instagram, Stories, and Pinterest, not just for our portfolio, but also for you to use. You’ll receive a curated set of ready-to-post images that showcase your new brand in action. And if you'd like to create some buzz, we’re always happy to collaborate on an Instagram post, putting your brand in front of our audience as well.

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Q's)
do you do calls or zoom 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?
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 week 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 week?
Because of our unique way of working, we only work on one project at a time, meaning you get our full attention for that week. But that does mean that once that allotted time frame is over, we will be busy working on someone else's project. You must give us feedback within the required time frame. If something comes up or life happens, let us know, and we'll see when we can re-schedule.
Can I request a quote if a package doesn't fit my needs?
Absolutely, our 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 + do the 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 week 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 week together such as questionnaires, and mood boards. We need these pieces completed ONE WEEK before the VIP week to allow us enough time to prep for your project and get previews sent your way before the week 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 / 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 we truly want to provide. But we did create a mini brand pacakge that 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 do offer payment plans, making the investment more flexible and affordable. However, the project does need to be paid in full before the project VIP day / week, 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)
Say goodbye to the old you who wanted to fit in, 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.
You've pulled the death card, it’s time for transformation.
