Should I hire a photographer for my corporate event?

A company event is expensive in terms of money as well as time.  Consider a corporate event that all of your top employees will attend.  You’ll plan this event down to the tiniest detail to ensure that everyone has what they need and the event goes smoothly.  Then, you’ll make sure that location, food, and scheduling run according to plan.  In the end, the only thing left afterwards is the memories and hopefully the photographs.  It’s a good idea to hire a photographer for your company event.  The photographer will capture all of those details and all the moments of interaction and good times.  That’s the reason that you put the event together in the first place…to bring people together.  You may also be able to use images from the event for future marketing and promotional pieces.  Or to just tell the story of celebration within the company.

Tailored Brands Store Manager Meeting

Tailored Brands holds regular meetings with the store managers.  It’s a time to recognize high-performing stores and their managers.  Everyone has a great time enjoying the each others’ successes but they really love it when their own store managers get to walk up and receive that award.  Imagine the applause, shouting, and smiles when your store manager walks up to receive recognition for all of the hard work over the past year!  It’s really fun to watch and experience.  I had the opportunity to photograph two events this week for Tailored Brands – one for the Joseph A. Banks brand and the other for the Men’s Warehouse brand.  The company will have photos from these events to carry forward and celebrate again and again.

2027 graduates… this is your moment. ✨👇🏻

Senior year comes up faster than you think—and before you know it, calendars are full and you’re trying to squeeze something in last minute.

The best sessions happen when there’s time to plan.
Time to choose the right location, the right outfits, and create photos that actually feel like you.

Every senior you see here had a session that was intentional, relaxed, and built around who they are.

That’s what makes the difference.

If you’re part of the Class of 2027 (or the parent of), now is the time to start thinking about your session.

If you’re just starting a photography business… you need to watch this.

I recently showed up to a headshot session at an office building with all my gear—ready to go—and security wouldn’t let me in.

Not because anything was wrong… but because there was a miscommunication, and I didn’t have a certificate of insurance on file with the building.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about when you’re first starting out—but it matters.

As you grow and start booking more corporate or on-location sessions, these small admin details become part of the job.

Clear communication with your client (or their admin team) ahead of time can save you a lot of stress on shoot day.

👉🏻 If you’re in that stage of figuring everything out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you avoid mistakes like this—grab them in my bio.

What’s something you’ve learned the hard way on a shoot? 🤔⬇️

But in all seriousness—photographers love a good piece of gear.

And it’s really easy to convince yourself that the next upgrade is what’s going to take your work to the next level.

Sometimes that’s true.

If a piece of equipment makes your workflow smoother, more efficient, or solves a real problem for you—it’s worth every penny.

But if it’s just shiny, new, and replacing something that already works… it can probably wait.

The goal isn’t to have more gear—it’s to have the right gear for how you actually shoot.

🔗 If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in, I put together a Photographer Gear Guide that breaks it all down—link in bio.

🤔 Curious… what’s one piece of equipment you’ve bought that was 100% worth it?
A small snapshot of the teams I’ve worked with recently 📸👇🏻

Headshots are one of those things that are easy to put off… until you realize your photos no longer reflect where you are now.

Outdated images, inconsistent team photos, or a mix of styles across platforms can quietly take away from how your brand is perceived.

A headshot refresh doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be intentional.

If your team’s photos haven’t been updated in a while, this is a good time to take a look at what you’re currently using.
