BRANDING / GRAPHIC DESIGN:
dane + dane studios offers custom branding and graphic design, specializing in pet-industry clients {with an emphasis on lifestyle brands and pet photographers}. We call ourselves a “boutique” design studio because we only take a small number of clients at one time, thus ensuring each one gets plenty of our time and attention.
We prefer to work on all-inclusive projects, where our expertise in the pet industry, our existing relationships, and of course photography, design and marketing skills can all be leveraged to help our clients reach the highest possible levels of success in launching or revising their brands.
In addition to all-inclusive arrangements, we do offer a select number of logo/identity packages each quarter {which start at $1500} and hourly consulting {$125/hr with a 3 hr. min}. We also recently added a “Branding Review” service for our pet photography colleagues {see below…}
Sample Pet-client list:
Dog is Good {all-inclusive logo, branding, photography, product/packaging design}
P.L.A.Y. {all-inclusive logo, branding, photography, consulting}

BRANDING REVIEWS:
By popular demand dane + dane is now offering a limited number of Pet Photography Branding Reviews every month. These reviews are offered on a first-come, first-served basis to pet photographers who need a jump-start or a refresher for their branding efforts.
What is it?
Nichole will spend several hours personally evaluating your new or existing brand, and will provide you with a multiple-page PDF containing the following personalized information based on her analysis:
- Icon: In-depth review of your new or existing logo design or comps
- Information: The 5 most essential brand secrets + ways for you to make minimal changes for maximum impact
- Impression: Business name / tag line assistance: helping you pick one that sticks + sets you apart
- Identity: Expanding your brand beyond your logo
Also covered: What is a brand and why is it important, quick psychology of color + insider tips to help you pick or revise your color story, determining your target market, font selections for print + web, Nichole’s favorite resources for stylish + affordable printing / packaging.
Here are a few sample pages from the PDF – the areas blurred are the most valuable little tidbits and will be based on your unique business, questions, goals and challenges…





The dane + dane Branding Review is based on years of Nichole’s pet business design + consulting {as well as her own experience in the general pet industry, and the pet photography industry as well} and covers the nearly every commonly asked branding question – as it pertains specifically to pet photographers. In order to make the process more affordable, the Branding Review is conducted entirely via email. Additional correspondence + consulting services are available at additional cost.
What does it cost?
Each review is $350, payable upon acceptance of your application. If you’re participating in Jamie’s Portfolio Review it is possible to purchase both services {Branding Review from dane + dane and Portfolio Review from Cowbelly} for $650. You may purchase these services as a bundle from either Jamie or Nichole by contacting us at: info@passportworkshops
How does it work? 5 easy steps!
1. Email me with subject line “Brand Me” and tell me a little about you and your business. The more information you can provide about where you’re at and what you’re hoping to accomplish, the better.
2. If we determine that our services will be a good fit for you and your business, we will respond with our current review schedule and include a Branding Review Agreement. This agreement outlines the process and provides us with even more information about you, your goals, your aesthetic and your existing or ideal brand.
3. Fill out the Agreement and either email it back.
4. Make payment in full for the Branding Review. There are three options for doing this:
a) Paypal. We can send you an invoice, or you can send payment to nichole@jnichole.com.
b) Credit or debit card. Nichole can call you for your credit or debit card number and process the payment that way.
c) Check. You can mail a check along with your Branding Review agreement to our studio address {provided upon request}
5. Within 10 business days you will receive your completed Branding Review PDF. {We may have more questions for you along the way, in which case, we will email you!}
Simple as that.
