Branding Photos for Daylight Creative

Manteno, Illinois

I am so excited to share Heather Day’s branding session with you! Heather M. Day is a Christian author, communications specialist, and all-around joy-bringer who writes about faith, leadership, motherhood, marriage, and this beautiful thing called life. She’s also launching her new venture, Daylight Creative, and capturing her branding photos was such a fun way to celebrate this exciting new chapter.

Daylight Creative provides strategies, training, and creative solutions to help people and organizations convey their stories with purpose, clarity, authenticity, and light.

I first met Heather a few years ago when our kids started doing theatre together. It didn’t take long to realize just how much light and laughter she brings to everyone around her. Heather is truly JOY personified. She radiates positivity in every interaction, and her energy is completely contagious!

For her branding session, we focused on capturing that warmth, authenticity, and playfulness that make Heather who she is. From candid laughter to thoughtful portraits, each image highlights her personality and the heart she pours into her work. I love how Heather’s passion for storytelling and connection shines through these photos. It was such a joy to help her create visuals that reflect her message and mission with Daylight Creative.

Shoutout to The Well in Manteno for the coffee and beautiful backdrop for some of these photos!

Looking back on this session makes me even more inspired by Heather’s dedication to helping others tell their stories. She’s rooted in intention and creativity, and it shows. I can’t wait to see all the ways she’ll use these images to launch Daylight Creative and continue spreading her light.

Heather, thank you for letting me be a part of this chapter as you embrace Daylight Creative. It’s always a joy to photograph you, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead!
