Updated business branding photos for a Sacramento leader

I was thrilled to partner with Amanda Blackwood, CEO of the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce to update her suite of professional images. I worked with her and her team to determine the needs and use cases for the images, and from there, I put together a comprehensive shoot plan to make sure we were on the same page in terms of feel and vision. We shot at a variety of locations around the city to get a well rounded set of images she can use for all her needs. Our shoot had to be rescheduled several times due to the pandemic, but I’d say it was worth the wait! Here are a few examples of what we captured:

If you have a need for images of your own, let’s talk! I’d love to tailor a shoot specific to you.

Fun headshots at Happy Road Farm!

Well hello, is this thing on? I’ve been wanting to highlight all of my previous sessions for a long time – and apparently it just takes a global pandemic to get me to start posting some of them. Without further ado, here is the first of many many sessions I’ll be sharing here!

This is such a super fun session to start off with. Last year, Lisa of Happy Road Farm was in need of some environmental headshots for her website launch and for an upcoming Instagram takeover.

Lisa has such a fun story – she followed her dreams, deciding to start a flower farm in her backyard. She traded in cubicle life for this beautiful “office!” Her passion and joy for what she is doing is infectious and I hope you can see it coming through these photos.

We talked by phone prior to the shoot and Lisa sent me some inspiration photos. I was so inspired to see her Loomis farm and make these ideas a reality! We had to be efficient with our time due to some scheduling challenges, and so we did these portraits in about a half an hour. We got so many fun shots in that short time and these are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

What do you think? Does Lisa’s story make you want to go after something you’ve only been dreaming about?  If you’d like headshots or a personal branding session for your business, drop me a line so we can chat!

MODELING HEADSHOT SESSION

This guy needed new headshots for his portfolio at Cast Images and we had a blast roaming around Midtown getting these portraits. Thanks for a fun afternoon, bud!

Now that the post has gone live over at Better Homes & Gardens I can spill the beans on this super fun shoot! We had all the ingredients for a great party – six adorable kiddos, balloons, confetti, fun crafts, amazing treats, and ice cream served out of the most adorable pop up ice cream truck tent. Here are some of the images we got of this amazing shindig:

The party was styled by Melissa Johnson of Best Friends for Frosting fame and she outdid herself. We've been wanting to work together for a while now and I'm so glad we finally got to collaborate on a project.

These kids were so full of personality (and energy!) after all the sugar they ingested.

This party was so colorful and happy and the light was so pretty. I bet they're still finding bits of confetti around the house : )

The desserts by Sweet Cakes by Rebecca were all so beautiful – it almost seemed like a shame to eat them. Here is the lovely setup before the kids tore into them:

From crown making to cereal necklace crafts to cutting out custom ice cream cone wrappers, these kids had a ball.

To end the party, the kids went outside to have some ice cream. How cute is this ice cream truck tent?

It was so fun to be a part of this project. Check out the feature over at Better Homes & Gardens and Best Friends for Frosting for sources and more info!
