Not sure when to update your headshot? New year, same photo is a choice. If your role, confidence, or direction has changed, an outdated image can quietly work against you. A headshot refresh isn’t about reinvention, it’s about accuracy. January is an easy place to start and move forward looking like you actually do now.
Event photography ROI comes from images that do more than document a room. This post shows how sponsor-focused, intentional photography drives engagement, strengthens marketing, and supports sponsorship renewals. From capturing clean brand touchpoints to delivering same-day highlights for social, these visuals actually move the needle. If you want photography that supports outcomes instead of simply covering an event, here’s how I approach it.
If you are a business at the forefront of tech, or at the intersection of tech and finance, it should come as no surprise that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) stands at the epicenter of innovation as far as conferences go. It is where major electronics companies give keynotes regarding new innovation, where products are launched, and where the latest breakthroughs and futuristic concepts take center stage. Every year in January in Las Vegas, industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, and innovators and startups from around the globe gather to showcase, pitch, and network. CES demands attention to detail, precision, and professionalism. Your brand presence at CES can be highly elevated by hiring a conference event photographer, ensuring that the moments you coordinate and unveil are well documented.
Florence is slower, smaller, and built for wandering. With just three days, you can eat incredibly well, drink local wine in quiet corners, and still have time to get lost on purpose. My 3 day travel guide for Florence, Italy skips the tourist checklist and goes straight to what I think is actually worth my time.
Cornerstone Impact 2025 marked the end of my spring corporate season with a high-impact event at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock. From a packed room of credit union professionals to keynote speakers who actually had something to say, the Foundation’s team used the Kalahari’s unique setting to create a night that balanced mission with momentum. If you’re planning corporate events at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock and want photography that reflects the real tone of the room, this one is worth a look.
I waited a long time to visit Italy, partly because I worried I wouldn’t want to leave. When I finally went, I skipped the gelato lines (I don't eat it y'all), the tourist grid, the standard spots, and wandered neighborhoods instead. I ate carbonara on a side street in Esquilino, hunted down Space Invader mosaics across Pigneto, and became a regular at a wine bar in Trastevere. If you’re ready to experience Rome off the beaten path my way, this guide is for you.
Gator By the Bay 2025 was four days of music, food, and nonstop energy along the San Diego waterfront. As a San Diego event photographer, I covered everything from zydeco legends and second line parades to food demos and accordion solos. Here’s what it looked like through my lens, from headlining acts to spontaneous dance circles, every corner of the festival had a story and after 14 straight workdays across three states, this one still stood out.
When NI Connect had to move from Austin due to the convention center closure, Fort Worth became the unexpected hero. As their event photographer, I captured everything from keynotes to candid networking moments—proving that a change in venue doesn’t mean a downgrade. If your team is exploring new locations, Fort Worth’s mix of access, style, and functionality is worth a serious look.
BenefitsPRO Broker Expo brought its sharp programming and standout keynote speakers, including BJ Novak and Gretchen Rubin, to Encore Boston Harbor. I was on-site for the third year in a row, delivering real-time event photography that supports their same-day editorial coverage and captures the energy of every session, breakout, and afterparty. Working with a team repeatedly that values speed, consistency, and storytelling makes all the difference.
When Kinaxis brought their North American team to the Fairmont Austin, they created more than an event—they built a full-scale brand experience. From candid team moments and custom activations (puppy lounge, anyone?) to a private concert with Nelly, I was there to capture it all with a focus on storytelling, not just documentation. The result? A gallery that helped their team connect, celebrate, and even pitch future sponsors with confidence. This is corporate event photography that actually works for your brand—during the event and long after the lights go down.
