Branding Session with Kim at Hear Me Roar Studio

February 9, 2024 Ginny Thomas

I had the pleasure of working with Kim at Hear Me Roar Studio to capture her unique brand and personality behind her music production company.

Hear Me Roar Studio is more than just a recording space; it's a sanctuary where musicians find common ground and a profound love for the spiritual connection that music provides. Kim's mission revolves around creating a welcoming space where artists can freely express what music means to them without the burden of insecurity, particularly among women stepping into the studio. Everything exudes warmth, laughter and an environment where you can be free to explore and be YOU.

We started with hair and makeup with Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry- our go-to girl for looking and feeling like “you”. Val gets how to use makeup to enhance and bring out the best version of yourself so you are camera ready!

Next was Kim’s studio. Where all the magic happens! I didn’t know this, but Kim let me know that women actually hear music differently then men! Not better, just different. Her studio is a welcoming place where artists can come to collaborate, work out their pieces and talk through their music. It’s part music writing, part therapy sometimes! And Kim’s warmth and energy are exactly what you need as a partner to bring forth your music! One of her friends actually wrote a song while we were shooting - it was so cool watch it come together before my eyes!

Kim is an amazing artist herself, so getting the chance to listen to her riff and play and sing….so fun! Music clearly runs through her at all times and is just who she is. She loves to laugh and not take herself too seriously!

Our last set of photos was in my studio, where we could have fun playing around with outfits and poses and all the ways that these photos could be used throughout her social channels and website. Her personality simply shines through!

We also created some GIFs and flatlays that will have lots of use on social channels and a fun way to make announcements or share info that feels personalized and on brand.

Fall minis were a hit this weekend! So many sweet families, big smiles, and all the best fall colors. The leaves showed up, the kids brought the energy, and we made it through the day with full hearts (and a full camera roll).
