We did it!
This time of year, it’s easy to look back. We all do it. We reflect on what went well, what could have gone better, and what we might do differently next time. We can’t change the past, and we can’t dwell on it...but we can learn from it. And while mistakes are a part of life, maybe we can dodge a few.
There were a lot of “we’s” in that paragraph for a reason.
None of this happens alone...whether in business or in everyday life. We move forward by working together.
Looking ahead is a little tougher. There are unknowns, what-ifs, and days that will feel like they’re moving at 150 mph. But when you have people around you that you trust...clients, colleagues, spouses, friends, family...and they trust you back, navigating the chaos becomes a whole lot easier. Teamwork always wins the day.
I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing clients and collaborators I work with day to day. Together, we plan, we execute, and we get things done!
A quick look back at 2025 shows just how much we accomplished. Minick Photography, LLC completed over 140 shoots, including a few large projects and campaigns, countless commercial and documentary shoots, hundreds of portraits, video shoots, video assists, and drone flights.
There were a lot of “we’s” in every one of those shoots.
As I look ahead to 2026, I’m both nervous and excited. It’s shaping up to be a milestone year:
• 20 years in my commercial photography business (35 years total behind the camera)
• 20 amazing years of marriage with my wife, Erin (God bless her for that!)
• And I turn 20… okay, fine—55 (but let’s not get stuck on that part)
I’m ready to take on new projects and push myself to create the coolest photography, video, and drone work I can...that we can.
I love what I do. But I really love what we do.
Here’s to a prosperous New Year for all of us!
Cheers,
Jason
