  • Choosing the Right Clothing for Your Professional Headshot

    A professional headshot is more important than one may think, but you may only realize it once your boss asks for one or it’s time for a big interview. The old one of you might be outdated, or you may not have one at all, which means it’s time to schedule a portrait session. Whatever…

    The landscapes of Agricultural Photography

    We are in the middle of the time of year when it’s not entirely too hot, and the landscape still holds onto rich greens.

    Professional advice for your business headshot

    It’s come to that time in life where you realize you can no longer use the photo from the bar as your professional head shot. You know, the one you cropped your friends out of where you have a mystery hand on your shoulder. Sure it’s a great photo of you, but it probably no…

    Catching up on photoshoots from the first half of 2018

    I think I’m just in the phase of life called busy. Sometimes I don’t know how I’m going to fit everything in, but I get to the end of each month and I’m able to meet all my deadlines with clients and still be a mom to a cute 12-year-old boy. The two places I…

    I started off the new year in a poultry house working on an ad campaign with Tyson Foods and their advertising agency.

    It’s been a hard week; I had to put down my dog on Tuesday. She was 2 months shy of her 15th birthday, and 4 months shy of being with me for just as many years. She was the best dog a person could ever ask for, and the last year was really hard to watch her…
