Kim came in for branding photos that reflect her business: fresh, colorful, and vibrant.
She doesn’t have a favorite flower— it’s like asking if she has a favorite child. But Kim is an advocate for buying local, which means getting flowers that are in season where you live.

When he’s not working, Brandon enjoys basketball, jazz music, thrifting, and savoring a good meal. His favorite dish is chicken alfredo.
He is willing to work hard to get challenging acting roles and won’t let any setbacks get in his way. As Denzel Washington said, “You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.”

Like the hundred-year-old farm house she lives in, Kelly is charming, warm and welcoming.
Kelly and her husband raised four children there, and now they all live in different states. Kelly works for an airline and one of the perks of the job is free flights, so she sees her kids frequently.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, journaling, studying the Bible, walking her dog or cozying up by the fireplace. She is interested in learning about flower gardening, so that is her spring project.

Michael is an actor in New York City and he needed a fresh headshot for auditions.
When he isn’t going to auditions, he is studying — he is a college student majoring in theater.
Michael says he got into acting “by accident”. In middle school, he was late for basketball tryouts so a friend suggested he audition for the school musical down the hall instead. He did, earning a lead role. Thus began his acting career. He still loves basketball but theater is his passion.
As they say in the business, break a leg!
Mark is a college student majoring in Economics. He contacted me for a headshot session while preparing to interview for summer internships in the wealth management sector.
When he isn’t studying or interviewing, you’ll find Mark on the football field practicing with his teammates. They hope to make a run at the D3 national championship this fall.
After college, Mark wouldn’t mind staying in the midwest [he’s from Illinois], but he is also drawn to sunny Florida where he has traveled with family. Time will tell.
Wherever he lands, no doubt he will tackle big things and experience the thrill of victory along the way.
