When Karen, the powerhouse realtor behind @kbrealtync, reached out for a headshot and branding session, I knew we had to create something bold and dynamic to match her energy. She wanted images that showcased her confidence, professionalism, and approachability—everything a top-tier real estate agent embodies.


To bring her vision to life, we chose Soiree on South in Aberdeen, NC, as the perfect backdrop. This versatile venue allowed us to create a polished yet inviting atmosphere that suited Karen’s brand perfectly.


Karen arrived looking absolutely stunning, with flawless makeup and two perfect outfits—a sleek black one-piece short suit and a vibrant pink one-piece short suit. She completely owned the session, bringing confidence and charisma to every pose.


I guided her through a variety of strong businesswoman poses, making sure we captured images that exuded both professionalism and personality.

We incorporated props like a phone and a laptop to emphasize her role as a dedicated and savvy realtor.

Because Karen had mentioned her love for working with pink backdrops, I made sure to bring one along for the session.


The pink backdrop was a fantastic addition, allowing us to create both full-body and half-body shots. We used it in different ways—both as a solid pink drop and in a more unfinished style that added depth by showing the edges of the backdrop and the wall behind it. The variety in setups gave her a stunning selection of images that truly represent her brand.


If you’re a business owner in Moore County, NC, or in surrounding towns like Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Carthage, Aberdeen, Sanford or Whispering Pines, a professional headshot or branding session can make all the difference in how you present yourself online. Whether you need new images for your website, social media, or marketing materials, Makana Photography is here to help you shine.

Let’s create something amazing together! Contact me today to book your session.
