I am so excited to have Nicole Harris, Photographer/Owner of Nicole Harris Photography in the studio today. We are talking about business branding and how important it is for all businesses big and small to take the time and invest in yourself and your company.

Nicole’s type of photography is storytelling. Which is a great way to see into the heart and soul of the business.

We also have a special guest with us. Carina Biacchi, co-owner of Ortaliza Farms. They partnered up with Nicole to create some fabulous branding photography for their website, social media and also for themselves.

Coffee anyone? Today we sat down with Caterine Arboleda, co-owner of Montaneros Coffee.

What stands out about Montaneros is that Caterine & her husband Wilmer get their beans from their family farm in Columbia.

They have a say in it from plant to cup and the love for their product shows in the quality.

Plus they are the most lovely people I have every met.

Make sure to follow them online to find where they will be serving or what shops carry their beans.
