I recently had the pleasure of working with Sarah of KaleidoSpark Co. on her new branding photos! Sarah is a psychologist who works with all ages. Her office is a colorful, fun, and safe space for folks to explore their feelings, and she wanted the new branding photos to reflect that. I absolutely love her kaleidoscope-themed branding for her business, and we incorporated a lot of different colored tiles, fidget toys, and actual kaleidoscopes into her pictures to bring some of that color into her new photos and website. Sarah brought in so many wonderful models for this shoot to help bring it to life, and I thank each and every one of them for spending their afternoon with us! They helped showcase what a caring listener Sarah is and the relationship she has with her patients. Happy to help another small business bring their new website to life with updated photography. Thanks for your trust, Sarah!

I’m currently home sick with whatever latest plague is going around (of the three things I’ve had to cancel this week, two have informed me that everyone else is also sick – which both comforts me and… doesn’t), and figured I might has well do a little blog post of our February trip to the Everglades and Keys. Most of these are shot on my iPhone (which had its wide-angle broken during this trip, resulting in a weird ring-effect that I kind of liked), and some are shot on a Canon AT-1 film camera with Kodak Portra. If it looks like film, it is. If it looks like an iPhone, it is. You decide! We saw many alligators (I believe the final count was 113), 1 crocodile, 1 manatee that looked like a floating rock, and many birds.

I always love meeting new people but it’s always especially fun to photograph your friends. Katie and I have been friends since photographing her wedding in 2017 and I adore working with her and also watching Scream movie marathons with her, both in equal measure. She’s one of the most intelligent and calmest women I’ve ever met, and I respect the hell out of her (and her amazing shoes, blazers, and pantsuits). So fun to update her headshots during a mini session in Durham!
