Personal Branding : Porsha M. Allen
This is a session from last year that I somehow never got around to putting up on the blog… but I loved this shoot for many reasons, so I had to go back into the archives to share!
Porsha is a talented, published poet local to Richmond. She wanted photos to represent herself and her work, and after reading through some of her poetry, I knew we would be a great match. Her poetry is personal, romantic, sometimes dark and somber – but with an optimism that we should always love ourselves in order to pull through the dark times. This relates to my philosophy and what I try to do for my clients beyond just taking photos.
You should follow Porsha on Instagram – @porshamallen – so many inspiring and beautiful posts!

as powerful as my words and that my
mind creates a world of its own. I choose
to feed it well, for it shapes my reality &
my perception of myself.
