Creative Director · Photographer · Strategist · Writer · Community Builder · Editorial Curator

LISA HAUKOM

A portfolio career built across consulting, advisory, education, digital products, and community programming. Working with founder-led brands and organizations in lifestyle, beauty, wellness, editorial, and nonprofit.

The Goldenbrand is a creative studio and community built around creative direction, strategic advice, and photography for women building meaningful work.

Because today the work doesn’t just live in studios, notebooks, or kitchens. It lives online.

On Websites, Substack posts,Launches, Press features, and Social platforms. All of them ask for images and story.More often than not, they ask for you. The Goldenbrand is where women learn how to meet that moment with ease.

Oh hello curious skill-seeker. If you like a lot of things, and I mean genuinely a lot of things, not one niche thing, you are in the right place.

The Fall 2026 Photo Challenge is back. Don’t miss it.

Every week for six weeks we drop a self-portrait prompt. You’ll photograph yourself using that prompt, on your own phone, in your own space, and share it with the group. We look at each other’s photos as a group. We encourage each other, we notice things for each other, things we cannot ourselves, yet.

It is one of the most generous, loving, creative spaces I have ever been in and it is entirely made of women who showed up not knowing what they were doing and experienced the change together.

I’m so excited to begin this next round with these wonderful women!!

Exclusively inside Photo Club. ♥️

While Everyone was telling women to hire a photographer, rent a studio, schedule a content day, and wait until everything was perfect.

I started asking what if you just did it yourself. In your actual life. Under your actual weird kitchen light. With the flash on?

Turns out the lived in realism brands are spending actual money trying to recreate? You already live there.

Disco Bestie is how we make that work for you. Force enable your flash. Let your actual life back into the frame.

The full tutorial is on my Substack. Link in bio.

Can we talk about the pressure of that first post on a new platform? You’re supposed to explain who you are, what you do, and why anyone should care all in one post. That’s a lot to ask of a single piece of content.

And if nobody responds? Ouch. Now you’re second-guessing whether to post again, or you’re piling even more pressure onto the next one.

Here’s what I know works really well.

Skip it. Do this instead:

Lurk with intent first
Learn the platform’s tone, format, and what actually gets engagement there.

Post POV before identity.
Share FAQs, hot takes, useful tips content that stands on its own without needing “trust me, I’m legit” backup.

Let that curiosity build, make friends!
People start wondering who’s behind the posts, the already like you.

Then do the reveal.By now you have earned attention, so the “here’s my story” post lands as a payoff and a celebration, not a cold open.

No pressure, no ghost town, no one-post-to-rule-them-all. Just show up, be useful, and let people fall for you a little.

I’ve been welcomed into some of the most beautiful corners of people’s lives. A potter’s studio with clay dust still on the windowsill. A painter’s closet where the good silk scarf hangs next to three paint-splattered aprons. A writer’s desk with the same chipped mug she’s had since grad school.

None of it in person. All of it through a screen.

I still don’t fully understand why it works, but it does. Maybe distance takes the pressure off. Maybe a woman shows me around her own space more honestly than she’d ever pose for a stranger standing in it. Either way, I’ve gotten to see things most people never do. The stack of half-finished sketchbooks. The one shelf nobody dusts because it’s exactly how she likes it, messy.

This is what What Women Create asked me to write about. And it’s what the roadmap in my bio walks through, for anyone who wants to learn to do this kind of work themselves.

“I started to notice that I knew myself a bit more than I give myself credit for.”
-Lauren.

That’s the vision I hold for every woman in this community while I build the infrastructure for women to be seen accurately, at a moment when almost everything else is optimized for the opposite.

I didn’t set out to build a living archive, to create art or help other women create it. I wanted to give women back the pieces of themselves they thought they’d lost. I wanted to help them find their way back.

And that is exactly what I have done with The Goldenbrand. You don’t have to be discovered. You can be so specifically yourself that the right people find you.

Ready to find your way back?

Let’s have some fun, shall we? Astrologically the week was weird, then there were death eggs, salsa and guac scares, and now everyone’s gone all finger-pointy over the latest AI developments. I for one would really rather save my witch-hunting for spooky season girl-hangs and tarot parties. We are seriously in need of wonderment and puckish flights-of-fancy so get yourself a nice bevvy and allow me to entertain you with the best of what cleared customs during my internet travels this month. Which is why this month I’m giving you not one, but four opportunities for didactic delights. An extravaganza of delectables, tasty treats, tantalizing terror, and tasteful threads for the home (and for you).

I see you. I made you a video.

And then I went back through every Women by Women feature and pulled what they most want you to know.

“Maybe you are invisible, in some ways. But not to everyone, and maybe mostly to yourself. Focus on the people who see you, get you, and who you inspire. And really take the time to see yourself. Learn who you are and what you love.” ❤️Laurel

“Being seen by others is vital and necessary. But it will never replace witnessing yourself. Fill your well with love and inspiration and you’ll find the world mirrors it back to you.” ♥️Brandi

“Listen to envy. It can be healthy and lead you in the direction you want to be. Gratitude is not the antidote. If your favorite flower is orchids and you keep getting roses, ask for the orchid. Or go get one yourself.” ♥️Lauren

“You can literally feel seen right now by looking at yourself. Age has nothing to do with becoming yourself. The choice is yours.”♥️Madeline

“Feeling visible has to start with feeling safe first. Take small steps. With self compassion. Little by little. You are enough just as you are. Right now. At this moment. Let us see the real you.” ♥️Diana

“Get more alive inside your own life and let it get vivid to you. You can have many stories. You’re allowed to have many lives. Don’t pick one final version of yourself and defend it forever.” ♥️Cole

And…The Fall 2026 Photo Challenge is back!!

Every week for six weeks we drop a self-portrait prompt. A theme, a mood, a creative direction. You photograph yourself using that prompt, on your own phone, in your own space, and share it with the group.

Thank you for all the love on that one. Clearly the wall has been holding a lot of us hostage.

So here is your next move.

I am taking you to my Pinterest account and specifically to the Photo Club board. Inside there are about 30 individual theme boards with ideas that have nothing to do with standing against a wall or anything expected. Explore ideas for Macro photography, Disco Bestie, Curves, Take Up Space, Hyperpop color. All@Boards that will make you want to pick up your camera immediately.

Two prompts come up again and again in the Women by Women series women writing about what Disco Bestie and Take Up Space changed about what they are willing to try in photos now and what they discovered they actually love. Those boards are in there too.

Go deep dive. There are tutorials for most on IWNGTFY or skip ahead and get the course.

Front-facing. Back against the wall. Chin down, chest out, “I’m professional.” We’ve all done it. It’s fine.
🔪 It’s also the only sentence most people know how to say with a camera.

But you’re not one adjective. You’re stylish. You’re creative. You’re completely, unmistakably you. And your photos should be saying that too.

So here’s your homework: step away from the wall. Walk into the middle of the room. Turn your body. Find your angles. I know it feels weird. I know it feels crazy. The middle of the room won’t bite, I promise.

And the best part? You don’t need a studio for any of this. Your kitchen, your hallway, your backyard…literally any space you already have is enough.
🔪 The location is additive, not exclusive.

If “how do I actually do this” is the question in your head right now, that’s the whole course. Link in bio. 👆

You can tell a lot about a woman by what she carries in her bag, it’s an intimate thing. It’s also so satisfying to see what other women value enough to schlep around. I always learn something new about them. Like, you’re a snacker (same), you collect matchbooks as mementos, or desperately need to cull your keychain (again, same). Plus I’m Nancy Drew nosy, so there’s that. But instead of wrong-doing I’m probably clocking your current lip color or checking for empties I can toss out. Tidying is a compulsion, do not let me near your bag. Seriously.

There, all better.

Before you put those pumpkins on your front step, may I please remind you there are still 20+ days until the official end of summer.
So before you skip to your first pumpkin spice latte, may I suggest:
1. Join the fall photo cup challenge and finally learn how to photograph yourself.
2. Subscribe to IWNGTFY and catch my end of summer extravaganza post?

Because there is still plenty of time for puckery and wonderment.

AI, the biggest technology advancement in history, has just made your iPhone pictures the most valuable thing on the internet.

When perfection is cheap and automated, trust becomes the scarce resource. We are tired of pics that look flawless and fake. We crave a real person, real texture, real life. Believability is now a creative requirement and AI cannot fake it.

Am I not-so-secretly smug about this? Yes, yes I am. Because the women I have been teaching to photograph themselves on their iPhones for the past six years? They are very good at this. And they know how to make more of what the market is now desperate for, themselves.
