When Purpose Meets Partnership: Vicki Johnson & Carol Wick of First Team Impact
Branding Photography in Winter Park with Rinat Halon
Every once in a while, a session in the studio feels like more than just a photoshoot — it feels like a beginning.
When Vicki Johnson and Carol Wick came in for their branding portrait session in Winter Park, the energy was electric. There was laughter, a few emotional moments, and this unmistakable sense that something powerful was about to take flight. These portraits weren’t just headshots — they symbolized the start of their brand-new venture together: First Team Impact.
First Team Impact helps college athletes turn their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) income into purpose-driven legacies that last far beyond the game. With concierge-level support, the organization guides athletes to launch foundations or support causes they believe in — building their brand, giving with purpose, and creating meaningful partnerships that value leadership and legacy.
Both Vicki and Carol bring decades of experience — and heart — to this mission. Vicki’s deep expertise in brand storytelling and communication helps athletes define who they are and what they stand for. Carol’s global background in philanthropy and leadership adds another layer of insight and compassion. Together, they are a dream team for athletes ready to use their platform for good. They’re turning influence into impact, one thoughtful decision at a time.
Watching them together in the studio, I could see how deeply they believed in what they were creating. Their excitement was contagious, their connection genuine, and by the end of the session, it was clear — this was more than a photo day. It was the start of something truly meaningful.
And yes — those stunning portraits that now represent First Team Impact were created and captured by yours truly
I’m so proud to have been part of this moment and to help visually tell the story of two incredible women whose purpose is to help others build a legacy that lasts.
If you’re ready to tell your own story through professional headshots or branding portraits, I’d love to help you create images that truly reflect who you are and what you stand for.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
