YOUR REACH

I’ve been a lifestyle and brand photographer for almost two decades. If I’ve learned one thing during that time, it’s this: without qualified help, your efforts to develop your brand image with professional photography could miss the mark entirely – which means your brand or business is poorly represented. Even worse? Time wasted and money misspent.

For nearly 20 years, we’ve helped brands, businesses, agencies, and professionals do more than look good. We’ve helped them demonstrate credibility and competence, and achieve their business goals. We can do the same for you. Let’s work together and hit the bullseye.

    Shannon Williams is a frequent partner for my brand development agency, STEREO. He delivers without fail and we love being on set with him for our clients. Shannon is extremely talented AND relatable. That can be a rare combination in the creative industry. In my experience, he’s 100% dependable and 0% diva. He adds to our thinking when we bring him in on a project and always strengthens the work. I expect you’ll discover the same if you have a chance to engage him.

    We’ve worked with Shannon for over 10 years and he is by far one of our favorite photographers for model portfolios and actor head shots. He is a true professional, easy to work with and knows exactly what we need for the market we serve. I appreciate his dedication and attention to detail which is depicted in his art.

    In my 10 year career as an entrepreneur, I’ve worked with many photographers. However, no one is like Shannon! He is a true creative. He always brings me different images NO ONE ELSE can get. His lighting techniques are truly unique, and he makes me feel comfortable on set. His professionalism is outstanding and another big bonus is he gets his images to you FAST! Hands down, he is a truly incredible and talented photographer.

    Professional Hair & Makeup

    Magazine Style Photo Shoot

    Professional studio lighting, flattering poses, and a comfortable, fun atmosphere set to rhythm by your favorite playlist. We’ll pause for more champagne whenever you like, and you can even take a peek at the back of the camera along the way, to see what we’ve captured.

    Image Reveal & Order

    Within two weeks after your photo shoot, we’ll schedule a time for you to return to the studio to see your professionally retouched, printed images. You’ll choose your complimentary matted 11×17 print and can purchase anything else you like, bundled in packages or a la carte.
