AAF Gold Addy Award Recipient

Hey everyone, Leah here! I'm still buzzing with excitement after winning a Gold Addy Award from the AAF Greenville branch for my recent taco truck branding session!

This project was extra special because it involved a whole village! It all started with a request for new branding photos for Troy’s, our AVI Foodsystems Taco Truck! We gathered ideas and started booking times and spaces to create our work.

That's where the incredible Gillian Brown came in. Gillian's not just a stylist extraordinaire, she's a taco whisperer! Together, we brainstormed ideas to create a visual feast that showcased the truck's vibrant colors, unique personality, and of course, the delicious food.

The shoot day itself was pure magic. Gillian and I worked our magic with the food styling, making every shot a mini-masterpiece. The truck’s bright colors and infectious enthusiasm fueled the entire day.

Fast forward to the Addy Awards, and guess what? We snagged the gold! Let me tell you, seeing my work recognized by such a talented group of creatives in Greenville was an incredible honor. It truly takes time and dedication to create such great images.

Huge thanks to:

• AVI Foodsystems at Anderson University: For trusting me to capture the soul of your fun and funky taco truck!

• Gillian Brown: Your styling skills are legendary!

• The American Advertising Federation of Greenville: Thank you for this incredible recognition! I am honored to represent both Anderson University and AVI Foodsystems.

This win is a reminder that with a little creativity, collaboration, and a whole lot of dedication, anything is possible.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my stomach's starting to rumble... anyone else craving tacos?
