hello gorgeous!

I'm Sandy Grigsby,

Self-image coach, personal brand consultant, and personal branding photographer.

The quick story is... I began as a commercial model for T-Mobile, Apple, Sony, Cadillac, Tempur-Pedic, and many more. Between modeling, I worked with prominent photographers in Los Angeles, designing celebrity websites. In 2005, I founded Briofive, a personal branding agency for entrepreneurs.

Even though I was in the personal brand design industry, I struggled with my own self-image, until I discovered what I was actually missing – and everything changed!

Even though I was in the personal brand design industry, I struggled with my own self-image, until I discovered what I was actually missing – and everything changed!

I struggled with self-image and confidence for years.

“What’s wrong with me?”

I spent far too many years asking myself that.

Too many years being bullied as a kid, racially discriminated against, controlled by an overbearing father, and sexually harassed by male and female colleagues. Too many years feeling sad, alone, depressed and worthless.

I doubted every choice I made...

When I transitioned into photography,

I discovered I had a knack for creating stunning portraits of people who hated being in front of the camera.

I soon realized these incredible people, who claimed they weren't photogenic, couldn't see their own beauty. They couldn't see what I saw – all of their beautiful achievements and astonishing kindness.

Looking through a different lens, I saw myself in a totally new way...

We overlook our magic and beauty within.

You see, by this point in my life I could speak four languages, cook, sew, dance, install hardwood floors, race cars, snowboard, build websites, and groom dogs.

I had competed in beauty pageants, won scholarships, studied abroad, mentored youth, volunteered, worked as a model, graphic designer, online retailer, an artist, and now I was a damn good photographer!

I was better than enough, I was unfrickingbelieveable!

The problem was,

I spent so much time stewing on the negatives that I totally overlooked how amazing I actually was!

Once I stopped sabotaging my own confidence, I found myself featured in magazines, being interviewed on panels, solo on a TEDx stage, and speaking at international events before thousands.
