Hi, I am Brandi Thomas.
I am a multi published photographer from St. Louis Missouri. I am a wife and mother and have my husband and sons to thank for the amazing support system they provide. I have been interested and participating in photography for over 15 years, having taken lighting and editing courses in college. However, I became a mother at a young age and my dreams had to be placed on hold. In 2017 a young lady rekindled this passion I have for photography (visit the 'KP Forever Famous' page to read that story) and since then my feet have not stopped moving. In 5 years I was able to expand my brand into fashion photography and have helped models and photographers across my area progress in their careers. Helping amateur models learn how to 'SAFELY' break into the business has been a passion and very close to my heart. I worked alongside amazing artists to change the narrative of what a MODEL should accept and put up with in this field. I wanted to be sure models here can chase the same opportunities as those in California or New York and do so safely without going through the creeps and predators.
As much as I love fashion photography, I also have a love for sports photography and sports marketing. Having my own kids in competitive sports as well as a degree in marketing myself, has allowed for me to get LOTS of practice in not only the photography side of sports but the marketing/media and recruiting side as well. Todays high school athletes have an opportunity to be making money as they enter college, but so many student athletes and parents don't know where to start and how to get there. Between my photography skills and marketing and media skills I offer media training and development for those athletes and parents, so maybe, just maybe they can exit college not having any debt and still being able to have played the sport they love the entire time.
Not many photographers have such a wide array of what they photograph but I have learned to stick to what you are good at and what you love and well; I love fashion and sports and I have been blessed to be able to combine those two worlds within my career.
