CREATIVE
SOUL
OBSESSED WITH VISUAL STORYTELLING, REGIS AND
KAHRANN BETHENCOURT CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF
INDIVIDUAL BEAUTY AND EMPOWERMENT.
In Atlanta, Georgia, husband & wife
team, Regis and Kahrann Bethencourt
are the owners of Creative Soul Photography.
Their mission is to empower
children of color by immortalizing their
beauty. “We feel that it is important for
kids of color to see positive images that
look like them in the media. We combat
these stereotypes in our photography
by creating diverse imagery of kids who
love the skin they’re in, their own natural
curls and their culture,” explains Kahrann.
To create these stunning looks, hairdresser,
Shanna Annse uses both synthetic
and human textured hair that closely
matches the model’s hair.
“We think these
stories are important
to show in order
to shatter the
current standards
of beauty.”
