Y’all, this is Martha’s debut to the SP blog! (YAY). We are so excited that this will be the first of many blog posts for Story Photographers featuring Martha’s work. This year is the first time that someone else on the SP team has needed to cover a Campbell event because I was already booked. Hearing Martha’s experience at this shoot warmed my soul, y’all. She experienced all that makes this place and these people so special to me, and so many others! It brought so much joy to hear about how things went from Martha, so let’s just hear what she has to say about it….

Let me just go ahead and tell you - this blogpost is going to make you want to grab a cookie. Sorry not sorry. I want one now too!

What do you do when you get a request to shoot cookies and treats for a small business baker, but don't have any recent shoots to show you can do the work? You create the content…

Spring is here! The trees are starting to bloom, leaves are filling back in. What a beautiful time of year to get your headshot done - it’s not too cold, not too hot (who are we kidding, it’s NC, who knows what the temperature will be). Both Becky and Charity took advantage of the newness of spring in their headshots and we love how they turned out!

You could also have us come out to your office or even a work conference to grab quick headshots of your team, as you see we did here for a leadership team at Merz during their retreat. We dodged some spring showers for these!

Meet Lauren: Like many people right now, Lauren is transitioning out of teaching and is tackling all new career paths so she was in need of new headshots for this big transition. When you are making a big change, such as a change in career, it is important to have up to date headshots. Many of us don’t realize how important it is to look like your headshots. You want people to know it's you!

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.
