Tuesday, January 24, 2023Living the dream: earning a living doing what you love
Returning from the national photography conference yesterday, an email was waiting for me in my inbox that an article I interviewed for a few months ago is now published. The timing was perfect.

Friday, January 20, 2023Did you know I was a heavy smoker?
I was only 15 when I got hooked on cigarettes, and it took me 15 years to be able to quit. I once heard an expert talk about quitting smoking on a radio show.

Wednesday, January 18, 2023Who is this handsome guy?

Friday, January 06, 2023Does your business have high employee turnover?
I am guessing you may be holding off getting team headshots and team group shots because even if you have loyal, happy employees who are in for the long haul like Stonebridge does (shown in this group photo) - some of these employees may still quit just because of life circumstances - and you are thinking getting team headshots are not worth the investment - right? What if I told you I figured out a way for you to get team headshots and group shots that IS worth the investment? This past year we started
