It’s so interesting to be in a different part of the country and experience spring in a whole new way. There are poppies and lupines everywhere, but not like the poppies I experienced back in Virginia. The wildflowers are so delicate and fragile especially next to the spikey cactus.

Last summer, we signed up for another summer of Workamping in Estes Park, Colorado. It’s absolutely beautiful and right next to Rocky Mountain National Park. Workamping is when you volunteer (usually between 16-24 hours/weekly) to help the National Park, State Park, Municipal Park, or Private Park run their domain/campground efficiently in exchange for a free spot that includes water, electricity, and sewer hookups. We do this primarily to get to coveted locations in nature. 

We had Workamped three summers before and had enjoyed Estes Park immensely, so we decided to go back. We contacted the manager, Zelda, and she was thrilled to have us return, especially since we were already trained and familiar with the area. We signed a contract with her, committing from May 15 to September 15. 

Laura Dillon Rogers Photography visited me from Charlottesville, Virginia, for a creative play weekend. Laura had the brilliant idea to reach out to the Scottsdale FORD/Robert Black Modeling Agency and see if any younger models needed test images for their portfolio.

The modeling agency connected us with Elena, who was available late in the afternoon and evening on a Saturday. We got lucky to work with Elena, an Arizona State University student and a seasoned model.

Elena has been a Ford Model since she was a young girl, and her beautiful mother is also a Ford Model. Elena’s mother attended the photoshoot with her; we were happy to have her expertise.

I want to photograph interesting people I meet in my RV travels. Having a nomadic life gives me a unique opportunity to meet interesting people.

We’re volunteering for the USFS at the Tonto National Forest this winter season. We enjoy our time here and getting to know the staff. One thing that struck me was that they had several females working. I asked the women if they would allow me to photograph them and answer a few questions. Fortunately, Cassidy and Vianney agreed. We met up one Sunday morning.

When planning a branding photoshoot, selecting the right location is crucial. The location you choose sets the tone for your photos, and it can make or break the success of your shoot. Here are some reasons why location is key for your branding photoshoot.

In today's competitive business world, making a strong first impression is essential to success.

Your headshot is your calling card, and it has the power to create new, exciting professional opportunities.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate executive, a creative professional, or anyone in between, your headshot is key to making you money.

First impressions matter more than ever in the fast-paced, interconnected world of professional networking. In the realm of LinkedIn, your profile photo is the virtual handshake that introduces you to potential employers, clients, and collaborators. It's the visual representation of your personal brand and can significantly impact how others perceive you. So, how up-to-date and impactful is your LinkedIn profile photo?

In a world saturated with image-centric platforms and a relentless pursuit of perfection, it's easy for individuals to feel overwhelmed by societal standards of beauty. However, as a branding photographer, I believe that true beauty lies in authenticity and confidence. I’ve found that embracing one's unique self can result in compelling and authentic brand visuals. 

Here are the top 3 ways I help my branding photography clients show up in the most confident and unique way:

When it comes to dental practices, it's easy to overlook the importance of headshots. After all, you might think, what difference does it make? However, as it turns out, headshots can be a powerful tool in building your practice's brand and attracting new patients.

Our time spent at Custer State Park this summer has been truly delightful and filled with new experiences.

One particular highlight has been having the magnificent bison as our neighbors, gracing our campground with occasional visits. These majestic creatures never fail to leave a lasting impression, reminding us of their symbolic significance to our American identity.

Moreover, their presence in this park is a testament to the remarkable conservation efforts that have brought their population back to a thriving and healthy state.

Naturally, as a photographer armed with my trusty Canon R5 and 100-500mm lens, I seized the opportunity to capture some images of these extraordinary animals, which I am excited to share with you.

#1: “You have a great camera, which is why you take such great photos.” 

This is the one I probably hear the most often. I honestly don’t think people realize this can come across as an insult, so I try to say jokingly, “...and Babe Ruth had a great bat!” Some get it, and some don’t. 

I also love that these parties bring together the coolest small business owners and entrepreneurs in Richmond (or wherever I’m doing them), and that they’re an awesome networking opportunity. Even though the appointments are 30 minutes apart, you still get to interact with the other participants, creating a fun and supportive atmosphere.

lI ove what I do, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I can take great photos of anyone. You may not believe that. You may be saying, “Anyone but me. I’m not photogenic, and I hate having my picture taken.” And you’re not alone. I hear this all the time. I even wrote a blog post last year about photoshoot insecurity. I’m always looking for ways to change your paradigm about having your picture taken.

We’ve lived in our RV for more than two years. We have a Grand Design Solitude 390RK. While we love almost everything about it and will keep doing this awesome adventure, just like everything, there are drawbacks to our RV lifestyle. I thought I’d outline a few for you here so you get an idea of what our life is like on the daily: 

talk a lot about how important great, branded headshots are for your business. It’s one of the most important business assets you have. Professional photographs are also expensive, so making sure you’re getting the most out of your investment is crucial. 

Here are my top three tips for making your headshot work for you.

A photoshoot is a bit like a dance between me and my subject. When we first start out, we’re learning how to dance together, and we need time to warm up to each other. I hardly ever take a great portrait with the first shot (or even the first several shots). My client needs time to relax, and I need time to check the back of my camera, look at the first several shots, and adjust either my client or something in the background. 

Here are four questions I have my clients answer that might support you before your next brand photo shoot.

As a brand photographer, clients ask me for guidance regarding when to get new brand photos and which ones they need to capture. These aren’t black-or-white questions; my answers always depend on specific details about each client’s needs.
