I first worked with Andrew several years ago for professional headshots and was so pleased with the experience and the photographs that, when I decided to leave the corporate world and pursue my passion of starting my own business, I reached out to him again.
During our second shoot, I learned that Andrew had expanded his work beyond photography into branding and creative strategy. What began as a conversation about my new business quickly became an incredibly valuable collaboration.
Andrew helped me research the market I was entering, identify an opportunity, and turn what was still a fairly broad idea into a brand with a clear identity. Knowing that I would be opening a stretching and mobility business in an area with a strong golf community, we developed Birdie Stretch Studio. I immediately loved the name. It feels elevated and approachable rather than corporate, while also reflecting the personal, one-on-one experience I want to provide my clients.
From there, Andrew helped develop the tagline, “Movement Is Every Swing,” the messaging, and ultimately the website itself. He combined his photography, branding, and design skills to create something that feels polished and professional while still feeling very much like me. That was particularly important because, as I told Andrew, I would never choose to work with a business that didn't present itself professionally.
What impressed me most was how much we accomplished, how quickly it came together, and how reasonable the investment was for everything he provided. Andrew took an idea that existed mostly in my head and helped me turn it into something tangible that I am genuinely proud to put into the world. I could not have done it nearly as quickly—or as well—on my own, and I can't wait to launch.
