It’s been a busy, busy week at our place…a major announcement is in the works (stay tuned…It’s BIG!).

In other news, well, I’ve been working with several clients this past week to build up some of their stock libraries. I had a great time with Linda Varrell, Eric Blom and Kate Bachman at Broadreach Public Relations in Yarmouth. This is a small power team of folks that basically do it all for their clients–write copy, put together marketing campaigns, manage outsourced public relations for entire companies–and they do a great job. And like the chef who orders fast-food, or like my wife and I when it comes to providing our families with baby photos, they’ve found it difficult to get the time to build their own online presence. That’s where I come in. Since they’re in the process of building a website, they have a need for all kinds of foundational imagery–from headshots to custom portraits to those little teeny tiny details that get sprinkled throughout a website. So we visited and I suggested a comprehensive plan, and we scheduled a date for the shoot.
On photo day I arrived with cookies (a happy client looks better in photos) and we got to work on a full day of photography. While the team worked, I set up lights, orchestrated lifestyle scenarios and pulled in people when needed. Zoe, a beautiful Golden Retreiver and one of two office mascots, managed to get some face time as well. I move fast and work through a lot of shots in a relatively short period of time, but the Broadreach team didn’t blink a bit. They smiled, stayed positive and in short we had a fantastic time. Here’s one of my favorite outtake images from the day. It may not end up in their promo materials, but for me it captured the personality of the entire team. I like to think the cookies had something to do with those smiles.
