Branding Session with Shay of Mindfully Me

Every now and then, I get the chance to work with someone who radiates joy in every sense of the word. Christina “Shay” Johnson is one of those rare people—a woman whose warmth, resilience, and deep empathy shine through every single moment. Her life’s work is all about helping others heal and thrive, and it was truly an honor to capture her light and energy in this branding session.

Shay has lived through trauma herself and has been a constant support for her loved ones navigating their own healing. With a heart full of empathy and experience, she now devotes her career to guiding families, teachers, and communities through trauma-informed care through her organization Mindfully Me. She believes in creating safe spaces, in empowering others to understand and process difficult emotions, and in helping people find their way to joy on the other side of hardship.

Today, Shay is a speaker, a mentor, and a trusted advisor for businesses, schools, and organizations looking to bring trauma-informed practices into their culture. Her work is transformative. She helps teachers connect with students in more meaningful ways, equips families with tools to support each other, and guides leaders toward creating more compassionate, understanding environments. Her impact reaches far and wide, and it’s clear that she’s touching lives everywhere she goes. I mean EVERYWHERE!

Capturing Shay’s energy in branding photos was such a privilege. Her smile is as warm as her heart, and her joy just lights up a room. She exudes a confidence and compassion that’s instantly uplifting to everyone around her. That’s what I wanted these photos to capture-the fullness of her spirit and purpose. These aren’t just headshots—they’re a celebration of her story, her resilience, and her dedication to making a positive difference in the world.

If you’re a speaker, coach, or leader like Shay, who wants photos that represent the heart of your brand, I’d love to work with you! Your photos should tell your story and show the impact you’re making. Reach out to book your branding photography session, and let’s create images that capture the essence of your unique purpose.
