Featured Testimonial
“Working with Pipermache made our website finally feel like u”Lyssa Barrow provided the absolute best senior photo experience for our family. She was punctual, informative and gave us such a sense of care with a dose of humor to keep my son smiling in all of his photos. Thank you so much Lyssa for your talent in capturing my son the way I see him, perfect!”

Frequently Asked Question
Q: What’s the best time to take senior photos?
A: It depends on the senior and the type of shoot. Fall is the most popular for mild weather and gorgeous landscapes, and shooting early enough allows time for yearbook deadlines. Spring works well for lush, flowering scenery. Winter is great too, as long as temps aren’t too low, and summer is the toughest for hot, muggy comfort.
Q: Where do you take photos?
A: Lyssa is an on-location photographer, choosing from the many great sites the city has to offer, or coming to you. Her website has a location guide to help clients get a feel for the vibe of different spots around town.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Lyssa’s website has a photography tip page with a general guide to what to wear, and what not to.
Q: I want to start using a camera that I have, can you help me?
A: Yes! Lyssa holds private individual or small-group beginner photography workshops (with a new beginner editing workshop coming soon), 3-hour sessions held at area coffee shops and parks where she guides you through the basics and helps you get started on a fun new hobby.

A Little More About Accounting Solutions

Working with Accounting Solutions means proactive planning all year, not just at tax time. Clients can expect regular check-ins, forward-looking tax projections, and clear action steps to reduce surprises and improve cash flow.

A Little More About Coached by Connie
Coached by Connie (Integrative Health & Fitness LLC) is Connie Garcia’s functional health and fitness coaching business, and Connie is a health coach in Madison, AL who loves working with clients facing a wide range of health issues. She started her business when the gyms shut down during COVID. She was going through one of the hardest seasons of her life, and teaching was her outlet, so she built a way to keep doing it.
Connie describes working with her like eating a sweet and sour candy. She gets to know her clients: how they think, what their habits look like, and what season of life they’re in. That way she knows when to push (sour) and when to pull back (sweet), because health isn’t just working out and eating well. It’s mental and emotional, too.

Stephanie C.
Frequently Asked Question
Q: How often should you post on social media?
A: It’s more about quality than quantity, but Mave generally recommends posting 2–4 times a week.
Q: How long does it take to see results with marketing?
A: The first month is about getting things aligned, starting with one focus, whether that’s branding, a website, social media, or an event. By month three, everything starts flowing together, and results usually kick in around then, if not sooner. It depends on how much work needs to be done upfront.
Q: Are reels more effective than static posts?
A: Reels are generally seen by more people, but they need to be structured to hold attention to actually be effective. Depending on the content, a static post can sometimes be the better choice.
Q: Does showing my face need to be part of my marketing?
A: It depends on the business. For service-based businesses, putting a face to the name builds trust. For product-based businesses, the product itself should be the main focus.
