Over the past year, Lori and I have been slowly switching over all of our portable/location lighting and I think this guest blog post best explains why. …

Why Image Competition Every year, Jeff and I enter a handful of the country’s most prestigious image competitions. Why? Competition forces us to expand, to grow, to improve, to innovate.

What’s the secret to better in person sales? Hint: It starts before the sales appointment. Don’t wait until after the shoot to ask your …
