In the last several years, I have discovered a new love for working with small businesses to photograph their inventory, the process of their craft, and the humans behind it all! This is an area of my business that I would love to see grow! I am looking to partner with small business owners looking for photos of your inventory, artwork, a behind the scenes look at your creative process, a professionally presented look for your online personal brand! I know personally what it means to be an entrepreneur. I understand the intricacies of balancing your passion, finances, reach, and regular life. You have my personal assurances that I will give my utmost care to help you represent your product, brand, and yourself beautifully. After all, making YOUR business look great, helps MY business look great!
Let’s have a no pressure conversation about how my skillset and expertise can elevate the look and relatability of your brand online, without breaking the bank!

Below, I am excited to introduce you to several small businesses I have had the privilege to work alongside!
Cara Sullivan is a Jonesboro artist (who has travelled the world studying and showing art) that loves helping others explore art through meaningful interactions, projects, and learning opportunities! She has created a space, The Creativity Lab, in her private studio inside the Historic Berger House, a Victorian home built in 1896 and a beloved Downtown Jonesboro landmark. It was once the Jonesboro Public Library (1950–1964)! Kids through adults can learn their own artistic voice in a space with a rich local history that offers a unique, inspiring environment for creative work. Cara is professionally trained artist having earned her Masters from Rutgers University, home to one of the most rigorous visual art programs in the country. She is a wealth of information and is innovative in her approach to teaching kids and adults alike!

Brothers Mike, Tom, and Rob of @UK Creative Prints, own an online business in Hampshire in the United Kingdom near Southampton! They specialize in the wonderful world of 3D printing! Since we live so far away from each other, these amazing brothers have mailed me several boxes full of their products for me to photograph! And, I have had an absolute blast photographing them! Their little creatures are so well made, colorful, and full of personality! It’s like an extra special surprise treat when I open a box that’s arrived from my friends in the United Kingdom! I never know what’s going to be inside, but I am always confident that I’ll love what they’ve sent!
If you’d like to purchase any of their cute little 3D printed creatures, please visit their Etsy shop at http://ukcustom3Dprints.etsy.com

Alyssa Wells of @Crafts by Alyssa Wells, is a local creative who is stepping into her own by following one of her passions! I got a chance recently to visit her home studio where Alyssa loves preserving natural flowers and plant life via drying and pressing, and then creating a lasting, beautiful artistic keepsakes! She enjoys creating pieces from wedding bouquets, flowers from a loved one's funeral, bouquets from a celebratory event, or a whimsical art piece highlighting the beauty found in the nature that surrounds us everyday!

Brad and Natausha Light are a husband and wife team who own Field & Light Design Co. This creative duo keep their hands busy making gorgeous one of a kind pottery and original paintings! They have a beautiful downtown studio where they create, sell their own beautifully designed collection of pottery, and invite the community to create with them. They offer classes for couples and groups where you can learn how to throw your own piece of pottery, paint a piece of pottery that’s already made, or learn how to paint your very own art piece! This couple is warm and inviting, and the space they’ve created is the same! It is so easy to tell the Light’s passion for the art they create and the process by which it’s created! They are very open about sharing their process and bringing others along into their creative world! You will learn, create, and walk away feeling like you have 2 of the coolest new friends!
