It's About the Subject

All shoots are about a ton of things but one thing I know is that it is not about me! It is always about who or what, the process and results. I never know what to expect at times and recently I was taken a back by a whole ton of emotion about the people who came in for this project. It was a grant for a healthcare provider and they hired me to capture family portraits of their patients in their community.

The families were nervous and unsure what to expect. They spoke only Spanish so I had to demonstrate in a physical way how I wanted them to interact with each other. In the end we had fun and they showed their loving selves towards one another. It was very moving to capture them and see the end results. I really felt touched and honored to be a part of their new family portrait which for most was their first time.

Love it when Collaborator's are on Set

I absolutely believe in team! My eye is strong but I don’t have 8 of them. I love the big girl jobs when the entire team from the Company is on the shoot and present being involved. I love the energy, insight and team work. The most important thing is making the team go home as heroes! In the end I am fortunate they booked with me and care to deliver epic results.

The Little Extras

I was asked to photograph the corporate team at the end of our shoot. Since their new building is still under a remodel I offered to place their company logo onto the wall behind the glass in post. They were so excited since their temporary space did not have any signage or branding anywhere. Sometimes it’s the little extra things I can do for a client which helps them and makes that lasting impression.

The Great Rebranding

I’ve seen a ton of changes in the business photography world over the years but none have been more relevant and most important than now. The pandemic brought on a lot of stuff for folks and the requests I am getting for headshot updates and commercial lifestyle branding updates has been at an all time high.

The digital landscapes are always changing and it’s been out with the old and in with the new in so many ways. I believe the clients I work with have a sixth sense and want to up their image game and need the best representation of themselves or their product and service they sell. Showcasing that story is more important than ever and I am loving capturing this new found spirit and positive change!
