It’s always nice to get a call from a corporate client wanting a new (or first) headshot. While we can shoot indoors on a variety of backdrops, such as the one below of Donna for eTECH Resources. We really like to get outside and use the natural environment as a backdrop, whether it’s trees, a fence, a brickwall, an office complex or an overgrown field. That’s exactly what we were able to do on our 3 most recent photo shoots in Sacramento. We shot the Sacramento Urban Land Institute’s Mary Sater outside a brick building (pictured), in an empty field and even in an alleyway. Michael Jonsson of Sacramento Divorce Solutions we found a nice shady spot in his office complex to shoot. And eTECH Resources wanted a picture of all their employees, so we did some various shots including this fun one underneath some trees outside their office.

Having restaurant clients is awesome. It means never going hungry. Especially when the client is doing a cooking demonstration on TV as was the case with Crisp Catering today (June 14, 2013) on KQCA My58 in Sacramento. Joe Thompson, owner, made a Greek Style Grilled Steak on the barbecue just in time for Father’s Day. Behind the scenes, I was busy tasting the test steak he made 10 minutes before the segment. Love my job. Watch the segment...

It’s always fun to scout locations for possible photography and commercial shoots. On May 13, 2013, I had the chance to explore Winters, California with Christa Petrillo, owner of Christa Petrillo Total Horsemanship Training, as she showed me some beautiful ranches in the area. We also hiked up and down the Putah Creek where we found a rattlesnake relaxing under some rocks (when I say we, I mean Christa, as I just walked right by it … if it had been a snake it would’ve … oh, wait a minute). I learned a valuable lesson: when in snake country, always be on the lookout for the critters, and more importantly, bring someone along who’ll keep you from sitting on top of one — because those rocks looked mighty comfortable. Rattler in...
Ed Goldman, writer for Sacramento Business Journal, praised Ligon Media (specifically, David Ligon), in his column today about photos. You can read the column here (and all the other places we’ve linked it in this blog). We had the opportunity to take Ed’s headshot for his column, which you can see in our headshots gallery. Actually, as of the writing of this blog, it is the button on our gallery page. You can also see it at the top of his column, which in case you missed it, is linked...
