CREATIVE WORK
My style is organic, minimalist, and deep, with a focus on light, form, texture and color. My messaging reflects my life: I am a mother of two in Montecito. I adore easy, polished fashion choices and beautiful, attainable ways to host and make my home inviting. But I also channel growth and inspiration through adventure, travel and exploration. My feed is comprised of images that make you pause, moments that last, and films that don’t feel fleeting or intrusive. It is a visual guide to everything I find thrilling and beautiful.
What makes Jenny Montecito different:
Simply put, my images and concepts stand out. My long career in editorial photography, styling and luxury branding has given me the tools to create iconic content consistently and efficiently. I have a strong aesthetic vision and creative eye and am a strategic marketer. Whether I am shooting on a camera or on my iphone, my images are professionally composed and styled in perfect lighting. My messages are quiet, but powerful. Also, as a Chinese-American creative, representation touches me deeply. I hope that my social media presence will inspire the women who haven't historically been represented in traditional advertising and marketing to feel beautiful and worthy and seen.

PARTNERSHIPS & OPPORTUNITIES
I am very selective about the brands that I represent. It is important that I stay creative and curate an authentic voice. I do not flood my feed or overwhelm my audience with too many conflicting options, this also allows singular brands to shine throughout my content.
My favorite way to work with brands is through featured content on the @JennyMontecito instagram feed. A feature carousel is professionally conceptualized and photographed, with product integrated into my authentic lifestyle. A carousel includes a mininum of 10 images with an option to cross collaborate for increased social media and brand exposure. Additional story features may arise organically. The rate for a feature carousel is $2,000 plus any associated expenses outside of my normal scope (specific locations, specific look/style requests etc.) I retain creative control through this process, but it is a beautiful way to access my photography and style without booking “a la carte.”
Images/content resulting from featured content can be reposted and shared organically, or purchased for advertising use. Usage fees for advertising/marketing are $250/image/month or $600/image for universal usage.
Additional rates to keep in mind for instagram content features: $200/story static feature, $1,000/30 sec. reel. All shot on iphone. Reposts and organic shares are allowed, usage fees for advertising/marketing apply as per the rates listed above.
Photography and art direction/styling rates outside of these partnerships are billed hourly at $2,000/hr for photography and $275/hr for art direction. Day rates can be further negotiated and I welcome conversations about unique situations. As a rule, I prefer not to entertain trades. My art direction fees also apply to consulting on brand elevation, advertising and marketing campaigns, multi brand collaborations, activations and giveaways.
Modeling fees are $3,000 per day for up to 8 hours. At times, my family is asked to model alongside me, in which case their day rate is $1,500 per person.
Gifting is always graciously accepted, but there is no guarantee that a certain product or brand will receive a feature. Gifted products can be sent directly to: Jenny Bogan, 1585 E Valley Road, Montecito CA 93108.
