TESTIMONIALS & CREDITS

-

"I hired Grant to take photos of my company's top executives. He came to our headquarters and brought his equipment with him. This proved much more convenient for our busy executives. He was professional and put them at ease, got some great shots and then worked patiently with each executive to select the one he or she liked best. They turned out so well that we gave the spouse of each executive a head shot photo to frame at home. I would definitely recommend Grant for corporate head shots." Dawn Hill, Employee Communications - Sealy Corporate Headquarters

"I hired Grant to shoot an executive headshot for a new member of our management team. Grant remained very flexible with us even though we needed to go back and forth several times on dates and times. The day of the shoot, several other executives were eager to update their headshots as well and Grant was very accommodating and fit everyone in. We ended up with professional headshots that were cropped and edited flawlessly but most importantly delivered on time. I will definitely use Grant’s services again and recommend anyone looking for a talented photographer that will provide you with exceptional service to contact Grant." Michelle Acosta - PR & Communications Consultant – Nationwide Marketing Group

“In 2009 DataMax Corporation was pleased to win the Northwest North Carolina Marketplace Ethics Award. Idlewild Photography/Grant Blair did an awesome job photographing a difficult subject - a clear glass crystal trophy. We have used the photographs on our website, print materials and a poster-size version we take to trade shows that Grant produced for us. Grant’s artistry and professionalism are top notch and we highly recommend his work.” Terry G. Taylor, Vice President & COO - DataMax

"We hired Idlewild Photography to photograph the World Premier of our original production, A Christmas Carol – The Concert with the Baltimore Symphony. Grant gave us an exceptional array of still photographs and afterwards produced a 5-minute Promo Video that was instrumental in getting the piece the recognition needed to secure an airing on PBS in December 2013, 2014 and 2015. As a result, the show was nominated for an Emmy. I have also enlisted Grant to do headshots and some enhancing of existing photos. In all cases I could not have been happier with the work." Bob Christianson, Great Immediately Productions

"Despite a short time-line, Grant was able to schedule my shot immediately. I'm self-conscious in front of a camera, and I was convinced that I was doomed to have a goofy head shot. Grant was professional, funny, and relaxed, and after only a short amount of time, I had the perfect head shot. A fantastic experience!" Mary Chervenak, Ph. D. -- Arkema Coating Resins

"After Grant purchased a mandolin from us, I simply asked him to send a photo that I could post on our website. I did not know that he was a professional photographer, so I expected a quick “snapshot”. Was I ever surprised when I received the photo from him! His photography was SO wonderful, that I commissioned him to take more images for us. Those images now grace the cover of the 2011 JBovier brochure, large JBovier banners at trade shows, the JBovier website, and more." - Jeff Cowherd, JBovier Stringed Instruments www.JBovier.net www.mandolins.ecrater.com

"We found Grant Blair at Idlewild Photography when looking for someone to take some headshots of students that had received scholarships from our firm. Since we don't have an office in Winston-Salem, we had to get some recommendations. Grant was at the top of the list. He delivered excellent photographs and went above and beyond by sending us both black and white and color versions of each student's picture. We were thrilled with the end result and will definitely use Grant again in the future. He is a true professional." Heather L. McCullough, Marketing Coordinator, Nexsen Pruet, LLC

"We have worked with Idlewild Photography several times, and have been tremendously pleased with both the photo shoot experience and the resulting pictures. Grant listened closely to our needs and brought his great artistic vision and technical knowledge to each project. He is truly a professional, and we look forward to using his services again soon." Julie Nichols, Marketing and Operations Coordinator, Pro Benefits

"We hired Idlewild Photography to photograph some of our clients for a corporate brochure. It was definitely a last-minute job, but Grant made it easy for us. We ironed out all the details on Tuesday, and the photo shoot was on Wednesday. The photographs were excellent and the people being photographed reported back to us that it was "a lot of fun." If you're thinking about using someone other than Idlewild, ask yourself: When's the last time you had someone tell you they enjoyed having their picture taken?" Sherri Lehman Product Marketing Officer
