Grace and I had a lovely time working with the Winston-Salem branch of Freese and Nichols. Faced with the task of wanting to change their public perception from corporate to more approachable, Mr. Freese reached out to us about creating staff headshots within their office.

"We work alongside our clients. Friendliness and approachability are essential to how our team come across." I could hear the earnesty in Mr. Freese's voice. "Our [current] headshots are uniform. We want to show the personality of our employees and incorporate a variety of backgrounds in our office."

After scouting their Winston-Salem office for the best locations within, we set to planning out the headshots they needed for their 10 employees.

Everyone was kind and easy to work with and we had a great time using the warm interior of the office. In the end, Freese and Nichols ended up with 10 unique headshots and even a group portrait we snuck in at the end.

“There’s a magnetism in an authentic moment, when we get to witness a person’s soul. ”

— Alyson

Who you are is important to me. Your personality. Your uniquenesses. Your sensitivities. There are countless details that make you, YOU. I want to help you bring those traits out to create portraits people connect to because they see who you are.

Have you ever looked at a picture of someone and said, "They look like someone I could be friends with?"

I have. Plenty of times.

There's a magnetism in an authentic moment, when we get to witness a person's soul.

That authenticity happens in a split second. Quite literally, a split second. There have been times where I've taken two photographs back to back - one right at the climax of the moment and the other right before or right after.

It never fails that the photograph where the timing is a split second off, you can see the minute details that don't fullfill the expression of that person's emotion.

I always seek out that spark, that single moment when every bit of you shines through. I love to see you be Seen, in every tiny detail.
