“In this fast-paced world of social media, our image is our brand. I wanted an image that looks like me. Not a fake version of me, but the casual approachable person I am, and Marikate Venuto nailed it. She spent time getting me comfortable in front of her lens. She learned about me; I learned about her, and we had a good time doing something that may not always be comfortable, especially as we get older! I love that my photos represent the real me and where I am in my life today. If you’re thinking of upgrading your image…call Marikate!”
