At The BuildHER Co., our mission is bigger than just beautiful photos—we’re here to build something that lasts. We believe in creating visual branding that empowers women, uplifts local communities, and makes real impact far beyond the lens.
Based in Davenport, IA and proudly serving the Quad Cities, we’re not just a photography brand. We’re a movement. Every session booked through The BuildHER Co. helps fund futures, with 10% of all bookings donated directly to local charities that empower women throughout our community.
A Photography Brand That Gives Back
Our motto, Building Brands, Building Futures, reflects everything we stand for. Yes, we capture stunning brand imagery that helps women entrepreneurs and creatives stand out—but it doesn’t stop there. We’re deeply committed to elevating women from all walks of life. That means investing back into the Quad Cities by supporting nonprofits that provide resources, education, mentorship, and advocacy for women who need it most. When you book with us, you're not just getting a gallery of polished images—you’re becoming part of a greater purpose. You’re showing up for your business and showing up for another woman in our community.
Why 2026 Is Going to Be BIG
We’re already looking ahead with so much excitement, and 2026 is shaping up to be a milestone year for The BuildHER Co. We’re expanding our reach, partnering with even more women-led businesses, and increasing our community contributions. By booking a session for 2026, you're locking in your spot in this mission. Whether you're a new brand, rebranding with intention, or simply want to show up confidently in your work—you’ll walk away with more than content. You’ll walk away knowing you contributed to lasting change.
Built by Women, for Women
The BuildHER Co. was founded with a clear purpose: to help women show up boldly, build their brands beautifully, and give back generously. From strategy to styling to shooting, everything we do is designed with intention. We’re proud to create an experience that feels safe, encouraging, and completely aligned with your values. When women support women, everyone wins.
In 2025, our top three charitable recipients were: Dress for Success Quad Cities, The Birthday Box Project, and The Women’s Choice Center. These incredible organizations work tirelessly to empower, uplift, and protect women - and we’re honored to pour part of our profits back into their missions.
One of our favorite memories from 2025?
In August, Ethan and I attended Recycle the Runway, the biggest fundraiser of the year for Dress for Success. and had the absolute honor of sitting at the very end of the runway, soaking in every powerful moment. It was such a reminder of why we do what we do and how fashion, storytelling, and community can come together to uplift lives.
