Meet our friend, Evan Kochuk. After ten years without updated headshots, Evan, from Apex, knew it was time for a refresh. Evan was looking for headshots that he could use at work, but most importantly, that would be casual and tailored to his interests, so that he could use them on his personal social media and that his parents would treasure as keepsakes. When it came to Evan’s personal branding photography we knew that our focus had to be on authentic images that reflected his personality, and captured the things that matter most to him.
A Tailored Experience from the Start
To ensure Evan’s portraits felt right for him, we started with a design consultation. Together, we explored his vision for the session, from the overall tone to consulting on what he planned to wear. Rather than suggesting new purchases, we focused instead on working with the clothes Evan already owned, helping him put together outfits that were comfortable, stylish, and perfectly suited for the look he wanted to achieve.

We loved seeing Evan’s energy come to life at his piano and around the area that he calls home.
Passion and Personality
For Evan’s portrait session, we ventured to Apex, NC (his hometown) and parts of nearby Cary, and made sure to feature his love of playing the piano and reading for a unique, personal touch. We incorporated both into his personal branding portraits, creating images that went beyond professional headshots to show what lights him up outside of work. We loved seeing his energy come to life at the piano, showing his musical ability and dedication to his craft. Incorporating Evan’s local area and his hobbies into his personal branding portraits helped to reflect Evan’s genuine personality and the place that he calls home.
Throughout the session, we focused on creating a variety of personal branding images, with some more polished and professional for platforms like LinkedIn, and others more relaxed and personal for social media photography and personal branding. The result was a collection of portraits that Evan could use across every corner of his life and career.
Portraits Worth Sharing (and Framing)
One of the most rewarding parts of this session was knowing that the final portraits were ones Evan’s mom would want to hang on her wall. Personal branding portraits are not just about having a great headshot; but creating beautiful images that feel so authentic and meaningful that they deserve a place of pride and will be treasured for years to come.
