Today we’d like to introduce you to Tanysha Parker.
Hi Tanysha, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
I am a Cali native, but spent the majority of my life in Indianapolis, IN since the young age of 10. Life has been life and just when I thought I could come close to figuring it out it, life would turn it up a notch and give me a run for my money. I completed high school and made several attempts to complete college, but yet I was still struggling to meet success. Spending most of my life trying to conform to the normalities of the world; you know get a degree, work for a company, get married, have kids and then live happily ever after, but yet it just felt like I was never meant to get a happily ever after.
Jumping straight into 2020, where I was then a mother of 1 to a 4-year-old son and was let go from job after job, then even struggling to find work due to the pandemic. I never thought I was the creative type, but an interest soon sparked for photography/videography. I remember an experienced videographer was offering videography classes on the mechanics of the camera and suggested software to use. I put together whatever money I could and attended his 4-week course. I fell madly in love with it. Being able to tell a story without words, creating sequences to display the act, I mean clients actually trusting and booking me. It made my heart full and whole again!
From not knowing my place, to creating my very own was so rewarding. I turned what little I had into a business where I am now successfully generating income, creating imagery for clients who may need headshots, branding/lifestyle, sell a product or are even getting married. I am creating beautiful visual videos or photos on a day to day basis, traveling or in my place of residence, CreateHer Visuals is allowing me to live proudly and freely!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Reading the question and trying not to type the cuss words I really want to use made me chuckle HAHAHA!. No way has it been a smooth road nor will it ever be, but what would you actually gain if it was. Looking back I was not mentally, emotionally, physically nor financially in a healthy place. I struggled and the more this journey occurs I will still struggle, but that’s where the true beauty will be revealed. With God on my side directing my steps I will be able to handle any further struggles that will come my way. At this age and healing heart, I am prepared to fight for what I not only want, but for what I need as well. Not only does my life depend on it, but the life of my son does as well!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am Tanysha Parker and I am the proud Owner/Creator of CreateHer Visuals, where we make it our personal mission to capture a creative visual for you and your brand.
Photography/Videography is our passion. There is something so special, so endearing about capturing those once-in-a-lifetime kind of moments. We seek out those intimate and joyful times on your wedding day by capturing the essence of every special moment on camera.
Product photography attracts the right customers, tells a story, and lifts the overall quality of the product. Collectively we will develop a style designed for your products, then we will create a shot list and last but not least a backdrop or background that will be suitable for the products.
Our portrait sessions is about capturing the essence, personality, identity and attitude of you by utilizing backgrounds, lighting and posing. These sessions are ideal for Headshots, Graduation, Maternity and Birthdays.
It is also our personal mission to capture a creative visual for your brand. The content created for your brand is vital for consumer engagement and sales. With these packages, together we will come up with a story to tell, work on a basic list of key shots and then capture the moment.
As we are focused exclusively on making memories, It is the added personal touch that allows us to photograph truly beautiful and unique moments that reflect you and whatever endeavor you will embark on.
While I realize that there are other photographers/videographers with similar skills and more experience, I pride myself in being punctual, consistent and creative. No two sets of mine are just alike!
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
As crazy as it may sound, I got my outlook on risk taking from Sing 1 and 2 HAHAHA! When Buster Moon said and I quote “When you’ve reached rock bottom, there’s only one way to go, and that’s up!” How do you know that you will fail if you don’t attempt it and even if you do fail what can you learn from it? Take the risk (in reasoning) and grow from it!
