What Story Is Your Photography Telling?
If you’re not taking charge of your brand imagery, you’re doing a disservice to not only your brand but also your customers. The visuals for your brand live across all of your marketing assets and are what you use to communicate to your audience. If you’re not sharing your brand’s story, you’re not really saying anything.
Outdated Photography is in the Way of Your 2022 Goals
Don’t let outdated photography get in the way of all that you’re setting out to accomplish this year. Photography for your business needs to be regularly refreshed to accurately portray your brand. If you’re using old, outdated photos, or even worse- stock photos, there’s a good chance they’re holding you back from hitting your goals.
Market Manufacturing Better Through Photography
Commercial photoshoots bring authenticity, transparency, and visibility to your brand no matter the industry. Without proper imagery for your business, you will blend in and fall behind with the rest of your industry. Make a lasting impression with an industrial photoshoot that will result in images that can be used for a wide range of marketing purposes including but not limited to catalogs, advertisements, sales collateral, or your website.

What Is Photo Licensing?
In our digital world, photography is constantly being taken, shared, downloaded, and reposted. For many, there often isn’t even a second thought about resharing content, but when it comes to using photographs to sell goods and services, this practice can leave you in a position of conflict!

What Is Tethering and Why Use It in Photoshoots?
Have you heard of tethering? We’ve been using this approach to many of our photoshoots, because it makes viewing, proofing and sending images faster. Let’s walk you through what tethering is and why we use it in our professional photoshoots for headshots, portraits and product photography, to name a few.
Portraits or Headshots: What is the Difference?
Every business professional needs a “headshot”. These are used for websites, social media profile pictures and more. Often a headshot and portrait are thought of as the same thing - especially to someone who may not like getting their picture taken for the sake of the company website. Still, there are some key differences in a headshot vs a portrait. Which is best for you and your needs, you ask? Let’s find out.

Photoshelter - what you need to know
Photoshelter is a great program with lots of amazing features. But the main ones you need to know about are selecting your favorite proof images and downloading your final files.
Stock Images and SEO
SEO and conversion pages are being compromised often without anyone even realizing it. The problem is the perfect looking images peppered around a website, the stock photography. Everybody can see the photograph is not real.
This is (still) bigger than business
As many of you are aware, cases of COVID-19 are rising and with holidays coming up it is estimated they will continue to rise. To ensure our studio family and client's safety, we are temporarily adjusting what shoots we are accepting and we are working from our home offices.
