Alicia Graves
Owner
De-Clutter Diva
I'm a realtor by trade but seeing the struggle of prepping a house for market or getting ready to move, I saw a need for De-clutter Diva. Over half the battle is motivation and having a plan. Easier said then done. That's where I come in. Being a mom of 3 boys has taught me how to keep people on task while knowing when a limit has been met. I also enjoy having a good time while doing it, so its not boring.

Kellee Hann
Owner
Bared Soul Boudoir
Hello! My name is Kellee Hann! I'm a Wife and Mother who's been OBSESSED with photography for as long as I can remember! I finally, took the dive a few years ago and never looked back! Just over one year into that journey, I found that empowering women through photography was what I was meant to specialize in! It not only helps empower the woman I capture, but me as well. It fill my SOUL like nothing creative ever has before! So, if I get misty eyed and/or straight up cry during your session, just ignore it! Ha!
Through this journey, I found a mentor that was doing more than just taking "pretty pictures" and I KNEW I had to take her workshop! Since, then I've become a master at coaching my clients for EMOTION vs just posing. With my training, I'm able to help capture EMOTIVE beauty, branding and boudoir imagery, that will help you give you the session of your DREAMS! No more blank stares into space!
