The disconnect

Your brand is being communicated to people right now. Is it saying the right thing?

Every time someone finds your business online, they're forming an opinion before they ever walk through the door. The photos they see, the video that does or doesn't exist, the website they land on — that's your brand speaking on your behalf, whether you designed it to or not.

Most local businesses deserve better than what they're putting out there. Not because they don't care, but because great content requires a different set of skills than running a great business. That's where I come in.

The person behind the work

I'm Chris. I run Heyday.

I'm Chris Carter, a cinematographer, photographer, and designer based in Winston-Salem. I run Heyday Studio, where I help businesses modernize how they present themselves online through websites, photography, and video.

I started this because I kept noticing the same disconnect — businesses doing genuinely excellent work, represented online by content that didn't reflect any of it. Loyal customers, but no photos that show why. A beautiful space with no video to capture what it feels like. Real personality and care, flattened into a stock template that could belong to anyone.

Because I handle the video, the photography, and the web design myself, everything works together from day one. One person, one vision, one cohesive result — whether you need a single deliverable or the full picture.

What I do

Everything your brand needs to show up right. Under one roof.

❖

Video
Production

Video lets you speak directly to the people you're trying to reach — in a way that photos and text alone can't. Brand films, testimonials, product walkthroughs, social content. I produce it all.

The Digital Presence Overhaul

Need just a brand shoot? Great. Need a single video? Let's do it. But the biggest impact comes when everything is built together — site, visuals, and content — as one cohesive project. That's my signature offering, and it's where I do my best work.
