A year of walking my woods has been a journey of discovery, resilience, and appreciation for nature’s rhythms. What started with a storm’s impact turned into a deeper connection with the land, observing its changes through the seasons and reflecting on the lessons it offers. From unexpected challenges to quiet moments of awe, this annual reflection captures the evolving story of my time among the trees.

Smartphones, AI, and stock photos are everywhere—so why invest in original photography? Because trust matters. Businesses, especially community banks and local brands, need real, authentic images—not generic stock photos. I’ve used everything from a 1960s plastic camera to an iPhone in my work, but one thing remains true: the best tool is the one that tells the most compelling story. Let’s talk about why original photography is still essential in today’s visual landscape.

Photographing Boulevard Brewing Company’s founder, John McDonald, in the late ‘90s was an unforgettable experience—one that reinforced my passion for environmental executive portraits. This shoot, captured on medium format film, tells a story beyond a headshot. It’s about leadership, craftsmanship, and the dynamic world of brewing.

As AI technology advances, I explored how well AI-generated headshots compare to traditional corporate photography. I tested an AI headshot service using iPhone snapshots to see if it could produce polished, professional-quality images. While AI-generated headshots offer quick and convenient options, how do they really stack up against a professional photo session? In this blog, I share my findings, including the pros, cons, and whether AI headshots are a viable option for businesses.

Sound is half the story. While compelling visuals draw viewers in, custom scoring and sound design elevate a video to an immersive, emotionally impactful experience. In my latest blog, I explore how collaborating with composer Beth Burnett transformed my bio reel video, proving that the right soundtrack can take a project from good to unforgettable.
