Late last year, I had the pleasure of taking a few photos for Jazmine Jade of True Blue Wellness in Manchester, NH. Jazmine and I met over a year ago through the Women’s Business Circle of Southern NH - a small-but-mighty and supportive networking group we’re both part of. She’s been practicing CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and Reiki since 2019 and just added Massage Therapy to her list of offerings. I had the immense privilege of a few practice massages while she was going through her training and let me just say, they were the most relaxing massages I’ve ever had. I highly recommend her work!
We initially set out to do a custom headshot session, with traditional posed portraits along with some action shots. This was my first session like this, so I was game to try anything!
I spent about an hour with Jazmine, taking headshots throughout the art studio (located at the lovely Studio 550 Art Center in Manchester - what a cool, multi-purpose space!) and photos of her at work in her space. Both Jazmine and her space exude a quiet, welcoming calm, so I made to sure to capture that in the images I took.
What we ended up with was essentially a branding session - images that Jazmine can use on her website, social media, and promotional materials to communicate what it’s like to work with her. And a bonus for me: I learned that working with small business owners to create images they can use is fun, rewarding, and something I want to do more of in 2022!
So what about you? What story do you and your space (physical or virtual) tell your clients? What do you want them to understand? Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer; I can help you figure that out and then we’ll work together to create photos that help tell that story. Interested in learning more? Let’s chat!
