MEET Our Photographer
Hey, I'm Isaiah!
My name is Isaiah Foreman, and I bring stories to life through the lens. Originally from Zebulon, NC, I’ve been capturing moments since I first picked up a camera — and for the past 3 years, I’ve turned that passion into a professional pursuit.
At Steele Studios, I specialize in vibrant photography that reflects movement, meaning, and mood. From nature walks to sports shots, campus events to curated photoshoots, I approach every frame with creativity and care. Whether it’s Homecoming at Shaw University or a styled shoot in Raleigh, I focus on more than just the image — I capture the feeling behind it.

Hey, I'm Chelada!
My name is Chelada Livingston, I'm a visual storyteller and graphic designer here at Steele Studios, where creativity meets intention. My passion for design started during my time at NC State, where I explored how visuals can shape emotions, build trust, and move people to action.
I specialize in clean, captivating designs that bring your brand to life — whether it’s for social media, websites, or polished print. Every layout, font, and color choice is made to reflect not just how your business looks — but how it feels.

Hey, I'm Carolina!
Where most see “space to fill,” Carolina sees story waiting to breathe. As Steele Studios’ in-house Illustrator, she turns brand messages into living visuals—ink that speaks, color that carries culture, graphics that move people to remember and share.
Her work spans custom graphic design, publication-ready booklets, live event illustration, and merch lines that transform audiences into communities. Whether sketching in real time at a panel, building a branded workbook for a coaching cohort, or translating a campaign into wearable art, Carolina listens first. She gathers the heartbeat of your message, then renders it with a steady hand, clean lines, and respectful attention to your history and future vision.
