The perfectly crafted photo can reveal more about a person than one might expect. This is the discovery Stephanie Selby, owner of Stephanie Selby Photography, made through her journey as a photographer. Six years as a female small business owner in the Lowcountry have enabled her to make her mark in the photography industry through her artistic vision and creative touch. The heart and soul of her business, however, is centered around empowering women to feel bold and self-assured while taking their next steps in the business world. Through the design of full-service, customizable headshot sessions, she found and filled a very specific gap in the profession. "Headshots and personal branding sit at the intersection of confidence and strategy, which is exactly what drew me in," Selby said. "These images are often someone's first impression, their digital handshake and they carry so much weight. I love working with women who are stepping into a new level in their business and helping them visually match that growth. There's something incredibly powerful about watching someone walk in a little unsure and leave fully confident, knowing they now have images that represent them at their best." Selby prides herself in her intentionality with each client, ensuring she not only understands the history of a business but the future goals and forward mission. She then tailors her sessions in a strategic way that not only looks beautiful but also elicits a feeling. Bold and confident, soft and demure or sometimes a little bit of both. Selby's unparalleled ability to capture the perfect shot is exactly what Charleston area businesses have been searching for.
