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.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don't resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.
A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.
