A Photography Partner Built for Branding and Storytelling

Crave Photography is led by Sara Jo (“SJ”), a food, beverage, and branding photographer based just outside Buffalo. Her work focuses on capturing real moments, textures, and details that reflect how a brand actually operates.

This partnership allows Brass Ring clients to align:

  • Visual identity
  • Website structure
  • SEO and AEO performance
  • Brand consistency across platforms

Photography is approached as part of the overall brand system, not a standalone deliverable.
