Prepared for Angie Grissom · The Rainmaker Companies
One day, two shoots: your branding refresh and Rainmaker's new co-owner photo.

Look Direction
Building On What You Already Love
From what you showed me, here's where I'd start.
Blush, Tan, and Soft White
The backdrop tones from your last shoot that you liked best, easy to crop for LinkedIn, Instagram, and print.
A Touch of Rainmaker Blue
For the co-owner banner photo specifically, working in your brand blue or a complementary neutral so it feels tied to the website around it.
Negative Space For Text
Positioning you and Scott to one side of the frame, so there's room on the other for the Letter from the Owners copy to sit over the image.
Natural Over Posed
Expression that feels like you, not a big posed smile. We'll build the shot list around that.
Looking Ahead
If You Ever Want Your Global Team To Match
No cost, no commitment, just floating the idea since your team's spread across so many places. Once we land on a lighting setup you like, I can put together a simple diagram another photographer can follow anywhere in the world, so future team headshots feel like part of the same set instead of a patchwork. Worth a conversation down the line.
