Ashley Gurley and her bestie Adriana have worked together for years, watching each other's client base grow as they worked together in another salon. Ashley G. has been dreaming about having her own salon for awhile and now it's finally happening in downtown Smithfield, NC! Welcome, Huckleberry & Co. salon! Ashley had the best time shooting their new headshots and brand photography for marketing of their newly renovated salon. How much are we loving all the plants and natural light?! It’s a gorgeous, boho space that instantly makes you feel welcome.It’s so cool to see our friends chasing their dreams.

We are so excited for Sharon and the wonderful staff she has been growing at Cambrio Counseling in Raleigh! Ashley had the best time shooting these headshots for this crew. She loves to nerd out about the psychology of photography, so it's always fun to photograph therapists.Here at Story Photographers, we are always cheering you on toward better mental health! If you’re in need of someone to talk to, there are skilled professionals ready to listen at Cambrio Counseling.

The weight of all the big, heavy things happening in the world right now can feel so overwhelming... Add on to that the things we’re experiencing at a personal level. Shew! It’s a lot. That’s why we’re so thankful Three Oaks Behavioral Health and Wellness exists. Their incredible staff cares so much about showing up for and helping their clients. Every single one of their staff members I have met to take a headshot for has been such a delight to talk to!

Whenever we posted the sneak peek for Lormarev's headshots on social media, SEVERAL of you responded and were like, “WE WANT TO BE HER FRIEND!” And let us tell you, you're reading her energy correctly.

Lormarev has a background in theater and dance—as you might have been able to tell in these images. When Lormarev did this headshot session with Ashley, she was up for some really big jobs and was so excited about the possibilities. Guess what? She nailed it! You're looking at the newest Visiting Artist Faculty member of Meredith College (which also happens to be her alma mater)!

Y’all probably know by now that we love a good headshot session around here. We think headshots are so important in this digital-LinkedIn-Zoom world we live in today. We also know not everyone needs or wants the same kind of headshot. Some people need something more professional or corporate, while other people may need something casual. There are a variety of ways that we can do them with you. We say WITH YOU on purpose, because it's our goal to create a headshot that not only we can be proud of but that YOU love.
