How to Book Brand Photography Work with Karen Williams | Build a Strategic, Profitable Photo Business
What if your brand visuals actually moved the needle in your business?
In this episode of the Hey, Thriver podcast, Shay and Devin sit down with Karen Williams, visual creative director and founder of Black Visual Queen. Karen shares how she helps creative entrepreneurs show up as the face and visionary behind their brand—crafting visuals that do more than look good; they sell, convert, and align with the direction you're headed.
You’ll learn how she builds strategic brand identities that evolve with the entrepreneur, why visuals need to reflect your CEO energy now, and what it means to actually be seen in your business.
🎧 Whether you’re rebranding, scaling, or stepping into a new version of yourself—this conversation is for you.
