Angela Avery is the co-founder and co-owner of Ginger Yums LLC, an all-natural ginger juice beverage company established in 2018. With a mission to promote the health benefits of ginger, Ginger Yums offers a variety of fresh juices that quickly gained popularity. In 2019, Angela and her business partner made their debut at the Alpharetta Farmers Market, where they experienced immediate success.
In 2021, Angela realized her vision by opening The Ginger Room, one of Georgia’s top tea houses, located in the historic Skelton-Teasley House built in 1856. Here, guests can indulge in traditional afternoon or high tea, choosing from over 50 blends, delicious finger foods, pastries, and fresh scones baked daily, served with clotted cream and jam. The Ginger Room has become a coveted destination in Alpharetta, Atlanta, and the surrounding areas, gaining recognition on platforms such as Netflix and other media outlets.
Ginger Yums has since expanded to 11 markets across Metro Atlanta and opened a new sip shop at 8465 Holcomb Bridge Road in Johns Creek, offering the high tea experience along with the beverage line.

In 1988, after studying at the Art Institute of Atlanta, John Haigwood decided to turn his passion for photography and videography into a career and founded Haigwood Studios. In 2000, he moved his studio to historic Roswell at 565 South Atlanta Street, where he has been fortunate to develop a portfolio working with companies such as Home Depot, Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola, Medtronic, Avanos, Ecolab, Lowe’s, WSB-TV, and hundreds of others.
Throughout his career, he has focused on mastery of subject, composition, and the subtleties of light and color. Since childhood, he has been a visual thinker, noticing details others miss, and his father impressed upon him the importance of dedication to excellence.
John was the first photographer in Georgia to go digital and has remained at the forefront of technology throughout his career. Some of his proudest moments were being chosen by the White House to photograph their delegation for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He has covered events such as the Super Bowl, the 1996 Olympics, and the Masters Tournament. Recently, he had his first documentary, Story to Story with Shannon, published on Tubi, and he has created commercials for local Atlanta restaurants such as Willy’s Mexicana Grill, which are currently airing.
Some of his favorite projects are working with medical device companies and architecture throughout the United States. The studio is a one-stop shop where clients can get videography, photography, set construction, models, AV, drone, and locations—it is a full-scale production company. A fun fact: John has taken over 25,000 corporate headshots. He loves the confidence he sees in his clients when they look at their headshots and hear them exclaim, “That is the best picture I have ever had taken!”
The studio motto is Excellence Everyday, and John’s parents impressed upon him the importance of always exceeding expectations. He was brought up by frugal and extremely wise parents in a family of five children, and he was taught to go the distance and realize that every client is spending their hard-earned dollars to trust him to provide content for their business. He wants to be sure they receive exactly what they need and go beyond!
