What They’re Saying
About Peyton Byford
See Peyton’s WorkI’m Peyton! I am a photographer of love and all things lovely. I’m based in Oklahoma City with my husband (who is a videographer!) and two wiener dogs.
I created this guide to help make things easier for creative business owners. There is so much information out there in the world and it’s so hard to decipher what actually applies to small businesses. I like all my information in one place, so I knew that applying years’ worth of boring research and discovery into one place would hopefully make so many people’s lives way easier during one of the most stressful times of year – tax season!

I loved this workbook! The prompts are really fun and original — not like questions I've seen in other brand guides. The exercises really got me to dig deep and think creatively about my brand message. If you are stuck in a branding rut, or just excited to add a fresh voice to the ideas you're passionate about, I highly recommend this workbook! Seriously, it's so helpful and fun, and super affordable. Do it do it do it!!!!!

"So I just finished my pricing guide with your Bella template, and HAD to email you! I am so so beyond grateful. It's so easy to see the work and heart you put into these templates, and they are beyond perfect. I love that you made them in InDesign and pushed me to learn my way around in there! It was so easy to tweak and customize things so that they fit my brand and personality."

Thanks to you I was able to create a pricing guide relatively painlessly, and I now have a beautiful and thoughtful document to send to prospective clients that clearly makes a case for my heart as a photographer and the value of my services. The template you created is beautiful, the support was a lifesaver, and my new guide is surely going to benefit my business. Thank you thank you.

"Carina's template just gave my business the biggest boost! I've never used InDesign before but she walked me through step by step and it was a breeze to customize. I'm so proud to send out my pricing guides how and I can't wait to purchase more designs from Carina!"

“They have such a sleek, professional, minimal look. I loved that there were so many pages and there was plenty of room to educate my clients. I just can’t say enough great things about it. 10/10 recommend.”
