Depending on the venue location and time of day, our majestic body of water serves as a giant mirror (eek), so you’ll want to keep these tips in mind before booking your venue and selecting your ceremony time. Never fear, though, your trusty neighborhood photographer is here to help.

How a Headshot Station Adds Real Value to Corporate Events

By LCLindley|February 9th, 2026|Commercial Photography, Headshots, Tips for Creatives|

Headshots taken at corporate events can do far more than update LinkedIn profiles. When structured well, a corporate event headshot station supports internal culture, brand alignment, and imagery that employees actually want to use. Up on the blog this week is why my way is the best way and how flexibility, experience, and attention to people make all the difference in the end result.

By LCLindley|December 29th, 2025|Europe, Travel|

If you’re planning a luxury group trip to Lake Maggiore, this is everything I’d do again and a few things I’d make time for next time. From ferry rides to quiet islands to a private tasting menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant, this trip struck the right balance between structured and spontaneous. I know how to travel well and it should not come as surprise that I've surrounded myself with friends who do too.
