Featured Project
The Simple House
Chelsea, the owner of Stockton-based home organization company The Simple House, brings a calm, transformative presence into every home she touches. Her work blends elevated design, functional systems, and a warm, nonjudgmental approach that helps families feel both supported and inspired. She believes an organized space can change the rhythm of a family—and she approaches each project with intention, customization, and care.
From the moment I read through her questionnaire, I knew this session needed to reflect the heart of what she does: clarity, beauty, and sustainability, all grounded in real-life living.

Chelsea needed images that reflect every part of her process: the transformation, the team collaboration, the in-home client experience, and the final reveal. She wanted a gallery she could use everywhere: website, Instagram, Pinterest, email marketing, and future launches.
She wanted to be positioned as the expert she is—professional, knowledgeable, and detail-obsessed—yet still approachable, grounded, and deeply human.
Chelsea wanted images that feel as elevated as her final spaces—polished, magazine-worthy visuals that show off her signature style and custom systems. Her old images no longer represented the level of work she’s doing now.
The Beginning
We started with brand discovery—her ideal client, her values, and the emotional experience she wants families to feel when they work with her. Her prep guide and questionnaire set the tone for every scene we planned.
Deep Dive
01.
We built our vignettes around real storytelling needs: before/after energy, process scenes, lifestyle connection, team collaboration, and elevated detail moments that showcase her custom labels, curated products, and signature organizing style.
Shot List Strategy
02.
Lots of movement, lots of flow. Real interactions with products, hands in drawers, carrying bins, labeling, sorting—capturing the natural rhythm of her work so clients feel the transformation.
Confidence in Motion
03.
Locations That Match the Vibe
04.
We planned three intentional looks to create a versatile brand story:
Uniform Look – Polished consistency and professionalism. Relatable Look – Crisp white shirt, jeans, barefoot (warm, grounded, friendly). Elevated Look – A refined, modern outfit with shoes, perfect for reveals and aspirational imagery
Styling that Aligns
05.
This is where everything comes together—organization in motion, calm energy, thoughtful styling, and the visual transformation her work creates.
The Results: A Scroll-Stopping Gallery
She has an incredible ability to capture a feeling and tell a story through visuals, it's truly next-level talent. Nicole is both detailed and intentional, taking the time to understand your business so she can create images that not only reflect who you are but also strengthen your visual branding in all the right ways. I already know these visuals will play a huge role in the continued growth of The Simple House.
