HEADSHOT PERSONAL BRANDING ATLANTA GWINNETT PHOTOGRAPHER

I first heard of Indy (featured below) through a mutual friend, who was absolutely glowing when they told me about the profound impact he had on their life! I was immediately fascinated. Anyone who dedicates their life to spreading light and love is a hero in my book; I had to meet him for myself! One day while driving through Suwanee, I decided to drop by his shop to look around, and I was delighted to learn that he was there that day! There amongst the beautiful array of stones, crystals, jewelry, and hand crafted gifts, stood a warm soul who so graciously welcomed me. 

To my surprise, when I mentioned our mutual friend, Indy lit up and recalled the family portraits that I had just taken for them. I didn't know they'd ever mentioned me! He loved my work and asked me to work with him on his own company and personal branding. Of course, I was thrilled to help!

Our first branding session was a series of studio portraits that are now featured throughout his website and newsletters. That session led to one of the most validating testimonials my work has ever received! I was told that many of his regular customers and patrons loved the new portraits and had profoundly emotional responses to seeing them. One person in particular, a new customer who had never seen or spoken to him, saw his portrait on his website and broke down in tears! The smiling eyes and gentle spirit that I was able to capture in that portrait truly resonated with them, and they decided in that moment to give him a call and book their first appointment.

I got chills when I heard that story. I often see clients be moved to tears when they see their own portraits or photos of their loved ones. It's a moment I'm always so honored to be a part of, and something I'll never take fore granted. But to hear of a complete stranger reacting that way to an image you captured of someone they also didn't know: Well, that truly speaks to the power a portrait can have on us. That story exemplifies why I love personal branding and portraiture so much! Through our time working together, I always come to see my clients as friends, and their personal and career success is something I'm rooting for! Their patronage of my art supports my livelihood, so when my work in turn elevates their career and helps further their dreams: It's the best feeling ever!
