“I’m looking to become THE AUTHORITY in the excel instruction space, and I wanted something to distinguish myself from everyone else. This meant re-branding and launching a new video blog & YouTube channel. I needed new headshots, portrait shots, custom stock images, and also some event images to show me in action. Signing up for the “Be a Celebrity” package with John was HANDS DOWN one of the best investments I made for my business.
I’ve worked with other photographers, and the difference was clear in my first conversation with John. He doesn’t just show up and snap some photos — instead, he was a true partner in my success, every single step of the way. We collaborated and strategized before each shoot, to make sure we got ALL the images I wanted, while still leaving room for the serendipitous moments, which he captured beautifully.
I am still blown away by the sheer VOLUME of incredible images that he gave me. I have more than enough content to last for an entire year without repeating a single image. What’s more, John came up with ideas I NEVER would have thought of, to portray my personality and my brand in the best possible light.
Did I mention he’s also a joy to work with? He has a great sense of humor (no fake smiles!), is extremely prompt and professional, and 100% reliable. I could also tell that he genuinely cared about my success, which in turn, has made me a lifelong fan.
If you’re a growing entrepreneur, and are ready to take your business and your brand to the next level... work with John. You’ll be putting your best foot forward every single day, for the world to see.”
