📍 About the Client

Grace Recovery Café RCO is a community wellness hub focused on peer-led recovery, connection, and healing in Slavic Village. Led by Dr. Lewis, the café hosts events designed to uplift and empower local residents with resources and fellowship.

🎯 Project Overview

For this outdoor community wellness event, I was brought in to document the atmosphere, the vendors, and the people behind the scenes who made it all happen. The goal? Provide clean, versatile photos that vendors and organizers could use across social media, grant proposals, and future promotions—all while telling a compelling visual story of the day.

📸 What I Captured

  • Behind-the-scenes vendor setup
  • Candid community interactions and engagement
  • Formal booth portraits for each vendor
  • Team photos of Dr. Lewis and Grace Recovery Café’s staff
  • Highlight moments with organizations like Thrive for Change, Seeds for Literacy, Humana, and Woodforest Bank

💬 Photographer’s Notes

It was an honor to volunteer my time here. Grace Recovery Café brings tangible change to a neighborhood that deserves it—and I wanted every photo to reflect that energy. Seeing big-name vendors show up and stay present was powerful. This shoot wasn’t just about snapping a few good angles—it was about helping an organization amplify their mission through meaningful imagery.

✨ Client Impact

Dr. Lewis now has a full suite of polished event photos ready to use for outreach, promotion, and community storytelling. Several vendors requested access to their portraits for their own materials, making this project a win-win for everyone involved.
