In this Conversations with Inspiring SoulSeekers episode, brand photographer Henika Thompson—founder of Henika Photography and a strategic partner for women entrepreneurs done with glossy sameness—shares how she moved from polished “art-piece” headshots to essence-led brand imagery. 

We trace her evolution to photographing in your real environment (where you feel most yourself) and her blend of heart + logic, respect, and patience to capture who you are, how you serve, and what you stand for—so your charisma shines, your message is clear, and your calling comes through.

Henika opens up about working from the heart as well as the logic: asking the right questions, spotting patterns, offering clear opinions (“this can improve, this doesn’t work”), and co-creating at a calm pace. 

We explore how Human Designopened her door to go deeper with herself, helped her trust her gifts and gave her language to express her business; why respect, equality, and patience are non-negotiables on set (and when she travels and photographs people with consent); and how her love of creativity and beauty shows up beyond photography—from refining systems that stuck, to redesigning spaces that sold with ease.

You’ll hear about:
