RVA Visionary

Selah Marie was born and raised in Richmond, VA and influenced by southern culture and the urban creativity surrounding her from an early age. As both a mother and a photographer, she’s learned that being creative and having fun is the key component to solving a multitude of problems. When pitching clients, she believes that you are not simply purchasing a photoshoot, you are investing in an experience that will serve both as a statement in your portfolio and as an illustration of your creative ability and willingness to adapt to creative vision. She takes pride in accelerating careers and helping brands create viral visions and social media branding elements.

BLACK CULTURE IS VIRGINIA

"Black culture has redefined what Virginia is today. When I was growing up, I didn't see a lot of Black owned businesses in the city. There was always the notion that I had to work hard to be able to work for someone else. Now, Black businesses are everywhere. Seeing this gives me hope for my son. With the presence of Black business and cultural influence, he is able to see a reflection of himself as a business owner/entrepreneur as opposed to working for someone else." - Selah Marie
