It's been a crazy busy time these last few months. There are some changes taking place within the company I am excited to tell you about! I set up my company back in 2008 and added Raven Red, a new line to showcase my fashion work. My reasons for doing this made sense at the time but have just ended up being confusing…… well here is the thing AM will be no more. Raven Red will be the sole company and I will be marketing myself as a wedding /fashion photographer. I would love to do more work on a broader scale so it makes sense to go with a more unique name… Do you know how many AM Photography’s there are??? A ton. But there is only one Raven Red!
So how did I pick this name? Well like most things that are meant to be it came suddenly and just felt right. I just randomly thought of it one day and liked the way it sounded. I have always been fascinated with the raven and it’s meanings in different cultures. The Raven is prominent in Native American cultures symbolizing the void, which draws in all energy toward itself and releases it in new forms. The Raven is also seen as the bringer of light and in many tales the Raven steals the light and gives it to the people of the land. How perfect I thought.
Another determining factor in switching over is AM photography stood for Angela Michelle and while I am the photographer there is so much other work involved with running the company. I am to the point that I am overwhelmed and can't keep up with everything. This is soooooo awesome and I have you, my wonderful clients to thank for spreading the word…. Much love!!! But to be honest it hasn’t totally been just me for awhile.
So I would like to formally introduce the rest of the team Rachelle and Desiree. Rachelle will be handling booking and fiscal services… Rachelle is superb at the details and can answer any questions you may have and make sure you get the most out of your photo shoot. Many of you may already know Desiree. She is a little of everything... She accompanies me on shoots sometimes playing a multitude of roles including but not limited to….. creative director, assistant, makeup artist and hair stylist. Her energy on set is infectious. Both Desiree and Rachelle will be assisting with non shooting duties.I am lucky to have them both.
Another change I am thrilled to reveal is Raven Red will be teaming up with wardrobe stylist Grizelda Garza as well as other talented makeup artists and hair stylists. And will be offering an all inclusive package which will include hair make and wardrobe and photos.
Raven Red Photography is really a team effort and I am lucky enough to work with some of THE BEST!!!
