What happens when tourism expertise meets a passion for pageants and photography? Something magical, as Krishna Goodwin demonstrates in this captivating conversation about professional imagery, personal branding, and finding your true path.
Krishna pulls back the curtain on her journey from Sullivan County Tourism Director to sought-after photographer, revealing how her husband's hobby unexpectedly launched her into a specialized career capturing stunning headshots for pageant contestants and professionals alike. With remarkable emotional intelligence and 30 years of pageant experience, Krishna has developed an uncanny ability to identify and minimize insecurities, helping clients present their best, authentic selves to the world.
"We look in the mirror and see something different than maybe what everybody else sees," Krishna explains, sharing her philosophy that exceptional photography isn't just technical skill—it's understanding people. Through her work with beauty queens, realtors, and corporate professionals, she demonstrates why professional headshots matter more than ever in our digital-first world, where first impressions often happen before you walk through the door.
Beyond photography techniques, Krishna offers wisdom about career pivots, finding mentors, and embracing discomfort as a pathway to growth. Her faith-centered approach to business—"When I gave my business to God, it brings me the clients He wants me to have"—provides a refreshing perspective on professional success that prioritizes meaning over volume.
