Editorial and playful branding photo of photographer Cheleana Rowan, captured in a Traverse City, Michigan studio. This session highlights modern, creative headshots perfect for personal branding and photography business marketing.
Cheleana is an incredible photographer and was ready for a fresh set of branding photos for her website. We rented Hudson & Co.
