Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Suzanne Barnes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Suzanne, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you have a hero? What have you learned from them?
My hero is my Nannaw. She’s been gone for a few years now, but no one taught me more about showing the love of Jesus and serving others like she did. She sacrificed her time, money, and talents to love others well. The things she taught me have been hard-wired into me, and if I can be half of the woman she was, I will have been a success..
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m Suzanne Barnes, a brand and headshot photographer serving business owners across the Houston, Texas area. I create story-driven imagery customized to my client’s brand, bringing it to life and helping them present a professional and purposeful online presence. I also offer graphic design services and workshops on how to use the element of story to clarify your brand’s messaging and attract your perfect fit clientele.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Donald Miller’s book, Building a Story Brand, has been a huge impact in my brand photography business. It made me look at my client’s brands through an entirely different lens (no pun intended!), and the results have been phenomenal for my clients and my own business.
I also love James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits. As a business owner, building habit stacks in my day has made me more productive and organized.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
At the heart of it, my goal is to serve others, just like my Nannaw did. I want to see your business succeed, and if my creative talent behind the shutter can help make that a reality for you, I can’t ask for better. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader and supporter. I believe in community over competition, and know for a fact that we are stronger together.
