How do you transform mundane moments into extraordinary?

The layering affect.

Powerful images are created in layers bringing various elements together into one frame.

 

I call this the 'layering affect' which only happens when the following 4 elements come together, elevating 'picture day' into a fun experience.

Composition, light, movement, perspective, emotion, color... the best photographs engage the viewer on multiple levels.

Mastery

 

Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary isn’t easy, but Adrienne’s been at it for over 20 years—backed by a B.F.A. from Savannah College of Art & Design and a life steeped in creativity.

 

For her and her hand-picked team of artists, this isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle. The goal? To push boundaries, spark imagination, and exceed every expectation.

Create Impact

 

Our Mission: create an experience and leave a lasting impression

 

We create images that stick with you by taking risks, and making magic happen.

 

And when sh*t hits the fan? We roll up our sleeves, channel our inner MacGyver, and make it work.

Insightfulness

 

Beautiful images evoke curiosity. We feel like Curious George, eager to ask questions, dig in, and go where others wouldn’t dare.

 

This is the key to authentically capturing your essence or the distinct character of your brand.

Not only do we take care of all the fine details, but scrupulously dive in, read between the lines, visualize situations before we even witness them, and grasp things others overlook.

Invested & Enthusiastic

 

We are invested in all of our clients’ lives and businesses. We bring positive energy helping YOU overcome insecurities and feel at ease.

Every photo shoot is more than just getting the perfect shot – our compassion & creativity cultivate an interactive experience by only which we can transcend life into art.

F.A.Q

frequently asked questions

How do I Prepare?

 

We'll send over a style guide full of tips, advice and inspirational ideas to help you plan. Additionally, we'll help narrow ideas if you're overwhelmed with making a decision.

 

Most importantly, you'll want to choose colors, props and clothing that represents you, your business and your lifestyle.

 

 

Who are your clients?

Our clients are busy people who appreciate art, style and quality time with loved ones. They see professional photography as an opportunity to promote themselves in a powerful way and trust we'll make that happen.

 

Most of all they want more than a boring head shot... they want to illustrate their business with great imagery that sells itself.

How quickly will I receive my images?

Good news! Proofs ready for selection within 5 business days

Do you provide direction?

Being told to 'smile & say cheese' doesn't yield natural results. When working with professionals and other small businesses, I've developed a way of working that combines posed and candid photos.

 

I'll provide gentle guidance where needed, but I'll also step back and let you be yourself.

Useage Fees & Rights?

Useage fees apply when images are used to make a profit.

 

These fees are based on the size of the campaign & company. Full buy-outs are available.

 

Preparing Employee's for Headshots

We routinely provide headshots to companies updating employee headshots.

 

Ask for our style guide to send out to your employees.

 

When I'm not behind the camera or teaching photography, I enjoy singing in the shower, perfecting my evil laugh & impromptu dance parties in my living room.
