I’m Karen Richard, a specialist Headshot and Corporate Branding photographer.
What do I do?
I help companies and individuals engage with their audiences and deliver their messages with attention-grabbing headshots and branding imagery. With more than two decades of marketing experience in the corporate world, I understand the importance of delivering regular and consistent messages to your audience and I can provide help and guidance to ensure your corporate branding images have the desired impact on your business.
My studio is located in Franklin TN, about 25 minutes drive from downtown Nashville close to I-65, I-840, and Highway 31. I can also bring my studio to you and deliver the same quality of photography at your office or another location of your choice for up to 60 staff in a day.
A consistent message is crucial for creating brand awareness as it takes a combination of time and repetition for customers to remember your company. Having a library of your own images allows you to develop brand awareness and marketing strategies that harness the power of social media to reach a wider audience.
High-quality images that feature you, your employees, your premises, and your products build trust and desire in a way that stock images simply can’t do, and using your own optimally keyworded images also helps to improve your business’s Google ranking.
