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.

Frequently Asked Question
Q: I hate having my photo taken, is that a problem?
A: Not at all. Most clients feel this way before starting. Gari-Ann gives clear, calm direction so you’re never left wondering what to do, and by the end of the session, people who dread cameras usually say they had fun.
Q: How do I know what to wear or where to shoot?
A: That’s covered before you ever meet in person. Every session starts with a planning call and a custom shot list, so wardrobe, location, and props are already figured out, you just show up.
Q: What if I don’t know what images I actually need?
A: That’s exactly what the planning process is for. Gari-Ann talks through your business, your goals, and how you’ll use the images, so what’s captured is intentional, not guesswork.
