The idea

A first book deserves a real launch. This author had a message and a manuscript, so we gave her a brand and a home for it.

What we built

A home for the book and the author

Be Captivated homepage

An inviting homepage

Warm imagery and a clear story that welcomes readers and points them to the book.

Be Captivated about page

The author's story

An about page that builds a personal connection before a single page is read.

Be Captivated book section

Effortless ordering

The book front-and-center, with a simple, obvious path to order and subscribe.

The photoshoot

Our approach, frame by frame

01
A face for the brand

Editorial author portraits

Relaxed, natural-light portraits that make a debut author feel established and trustworthy from the first glance.

Author standing
02
The work behind the book

Story-telling lifestyle shots

Details of the writing life, notes, hands, quiet moments, that give the brand depth and a human story.

Writing notes
03
Warmth that connects

Approachable, on-brand energy

Smiling, outdoor, conversational frames that make readers feel like they already know her.

Author smiling

"Every image and page feels like an extension of my brand."
