What are you telling the world...GXU Images

The world is getting more and more visual, and the importance of what we say with our images continues to grow. The photographs you post on your website or the design of your print materials says a lot about you and your business. Does it say what you want it to say.

I am a freelance graphic designer and photographer based in Charlottesville Virginia, specializing in helping my clients rethink their communication strategy and matching up their visuals with their message.

My Work

Services

Design

My design focus is to deliver a clear, consistent message across my client's communication mediums (websites, brochures, social media, emails, etc.). I'd rather say one thing well than many things poorly, so I work with my clients to help them refine the most important part of their message and to communicate that message visually in their designs.

I specialize in web design and online communication, but also have experience in print design with brochure, catalogs, and mailings.

Photography

In a society that is becoming more photographic each day, help your message and your business stand out with photographs that say exactly what you want them to say. Instead of using the same stock images that your competitors are using, stand out from the crowd and show images specific and meaningful to you.

My business photography portfolio includes product shots, corporate head shots and portraits, and customized stock images.

And More...

Successful businesses know that to have your clients hear you, you need to tell them the same thing in multiple ways. In addition to design and photography, other communication methods like blogs, social media, and video are becoming more common and expected from your customers. To make sure that your message and visual style is carried out across multiple mediums, I work with a number of talented professionals in a variety of visual and artistic fields.

Spinal Health and Wellness website redesign

A website redesign for Dr. Dolly Garnecki with Spinal Health and Wellness Before and After SHW Redesign

Dr. Garnecki was looking for a modern update to the look of her website, along with updating the behind the scenes technology running the site and blog. The first step was to develop a focused communication strategy to deliver a clear and consistent message. We then created a new look for the site that reflected the warm and compassionate manner that Dr. Garnecki operates her practice. Finally, we moved the site and blog to a new host and updated the underlying technology to ensure a high level of performance and versatility.

L.Henry.Photo promo video

Lindsey wanted a way to show her site visitors more of her personality and explain who she is a photographer. In the crowded market of Charlottesville photographers, it's important to let some personality shine through the marketing materials to show warmth and personality. We created this short video piece to live on the about page of her site to show potential clients why she does the work she does.

First Colony Winery

First Colony Wine Project

First Colony and I are exploring a project to take more of a fine art approach to photographing their wines. I've had some behind the scenes access to the winery and will be producing prints to sell and promote their wine during the busy summer and fall tourist season.

UVA School of Medicine

The UVA School of Medicine is moving away from using stock photography on their department website and replacing those images with their real staff. I was brought in to take some candid and posed shots for their site, along with a few head shots for individual staff.

The SNL Center for Financial Education hires me to assist them with a wide range of business marketing materials, from website updates, online graphics and html emails to print brochures and newsletter ads.

Graphic Design Program at PVCC

In collaboration with other members of the graphic design program at PVCC, I worked mainly on the technical and photographic side of the project shooting the still images that we will be editing into a stop motion ad for the program.
