She’d spent years helping people feel seen through curriculum and camera, but after having her second child, she felt something truer breaking through. It was a pull to move beyond the safer roles she knew, and follow the real thread running through her life: The stars.
She stepped toward astrology with a new sense of confidence, and understood how crucial the branding would be. Serena wanted to embrace the spiritual energy of her work without losing the down-to-earth practicality that makes this path feel accessible.
Serena was coming off years of photographing weddings--very successfully by the way!--and reached the top levels of the industry. She was also juggling teaching, raising her boys, and quietly studying astrology. She was grateful, but exhausted, and the spiritual pull she’d felt since childhood was getting too loud to ignore. She knew she was meant for something more aligned, even as fears around credibility, finances, and legitimacy surfaced with the idea of reinvention.
When we connected, she said working together felt like hiring the focused, grounded version of herself. She went all in, committing to the full Vision to Launch partnership: a VIP Day, brand development, creative direction, a full brand kit, website copy, and a launch plan timed for a date that means everything to her: 11/11.
Serena didn’t want an astrology brand that felt cryptic. Her vibe was the kind of word-of-mouth trust women save for their most personal services. You have your nail girl, your hair girl…now, meet Your Astro Girl!
During her VIP Day, we built her full menu of readings, rooted in her belief that astrology only works when it’s interpreted with context, and set the revenue goals for her first season. We brainstormed women in her life she could offer readings to in exchange for a testimonial. The outline of her website became clear. The Instagram rollout strategy we created centered around inviting her photography business audience to join her on this journey!
We also spent time dreaming up a cosmic and chic branding shoot for visuals to match her 'approachable astrology' direction, and building the creative team to pull it off!
Once her vision was clear, we moved into building the full Your Astro Girl universe. Afternoon Media and I collaborated on branding and site design, creating an identity that felt intuitive without slipping into anything overly mystical. The earthy palette, celestial sun mark, and typography shaped a world that felt verrrry Serena.
We brought that world to life on set with a brand shoot hosted in a space that held personal meaning for Serena. Linnea Marie Photography captured the visuals, Field & Hand designed on-site florals, and Supercut Creative led the videography. Every detail was chosen to reflect astrology as a form of self-care and grounded magic.
With her visuals complete, we built her launch strategy, including: The announcement timeline, messaging, Instagram debut, inquiry flow, and content roadmap. Her site copy that I wrote led the way, and I'm especially proud of these phrases: 'approachable astrology,' 'translating the stars into plain English,' and 'your chart won’t tell you who to be — it will remind you of who you already are.'
Everything about Your Astro Girl's launch was built to show people that astrology with Serena would feel practical and genuinely personal to their lives.
When she went live on 11/11/25, it was with a fully formed brand with a clear point of view, and people got it right away! Her story landed with past photo clients, peers, and followers who only knew their version of Serena, and they immediately followed her into this next chapter.
Serena was finally showing up in the way she was meant to, and choosing the path that required the courage she once described as ‘gut-wrenchingly scary,’ but also the one her soul had been pointing toward all along.
Serena’s evolution didn’t happen overnight! She stepped into this process ready to shed what no longer fit and build something that actually honored who she is at her core. From her branding, to her offerings, every choice she made reflects her values of peace, spirituality, and genuine helpfulness.
As she moves into 2026, Serena has business that feels authentic af. Your Astro Girl is the truest expression of the woman she’s becoming, and the cosmic clarity she’s here to give others.
