By |November 14th, 2022|Austin, Commercial Photography, Event Photos, texas|

Allen Stone is no stranger to wacky ideas. Back in 2019, Al and his best friend Julian Gavilanes embarked on a karaoke tour of the United States. This year, they decided to bring it back, bigger and better than ever - a multi-state tour, a full crew, with a polished story, and 100x the fun and hijinks. It was a blend of an acoustic concert, with Allen performing intimate renditions of beloved songs, as well as new material, along with pre-show VIP meet and greets, an audience participation segment (that's the karaoke y'all), games, more than one or two surprises a night, and more! Photos and more from Allen Stone's Texas stops on his 2022 Karaoke Extravaganza.

Ready to get a little wild and wacky? The Reno Tahoe area offers a wide variety of fun for the entire family with year round events that are incredibly entertaining, family oriented, and, in the case of the Virginia City Camel Races, a little bit weird.  From Genoa's Candy Dance, to Carson Valley Days, to the Reno Balloon Races, Reno has something for everyone in your family.  When wildfire season hit Lake Tahoe with surprise this fall, we ventured down to the clean air in Virginia City to check out the Virginia City Camel Races for the first time.  I brought my camera because I was feeling a little bit creative that day and as a Virginia City Event Photographer, I'm always looking for fun and inspiring Reno Tahoe events to photograph.

Kickstarting your business’ social media presence: LinkedIn

By |September 19th, 2022|Commercial Photography, Marketing, Tips for Creatives|

Using LinkedIn for marketing doesn't have to be complicated: it's one of the best resources in social media for networking. LinkedIn is a great tool for connecting with existing clients and potential clients. Some of the easiest ways to engage on LinkedIn are by requesting endorsements and reviews from past clients (which show on your business page), allowing employees to claim your business as a workplace (this is how word-of-mouth works!), recruiting new talent by showing off your company culture, and following thought leaders in your industry (and re-sharing messages that resonate with your business).
