Twenty.
That's a small number if it's your age (which it definitely isn't mine)! It's a much bigger number when it's your business anniversary.
This spring kicked off 20 years of Minick Photography, LLC (and shooting for nearly 35 years). The milestone came and went without much fanfare, but it certainly didn't go unnoticed. Reaching 20 years wouldn't have been possible without the incredible clients who have trusted me to help tell their stories. For that, I am truly grateful. I am also blessed to have my wife, Erin, who has supported me 110% from the very beginning, back in 2006.
Two weeks.
That's a small number, too. But fill those two weeks with meaningful collaborations, and it's amazing how much can happen.
In just the past two weeks, I've done numerous headshot sessions for healthcare providers, educators, and board members. I've had video and drone projects in Philadelphia, Delaware, Elizabethtown, and Mechanicsburg. I've interviewed a man who overcame homelessness and addiction and is now thriving thanks to an incredible nonprofit. I've documented an adult day program serving people with severe disabilities, interviewed inspiring college students with intellectual disabilities, and wrapped it all up by covering a healthcare event in Hershey.
Much like my days as a photojournalist, every shoot is different.
Every story matters.
That's one of the things I love most about this career.
Fifty-five.
Now that's a bigger number...and I reached it this spring, too!
Like many business owners, I sometimes wonder what the next year will look like. Or the next five. Or the next ten. Those questions become a little harder to answer with each passing year.
After thinking about it, though, I realized the answer is actually pretty simple.
As long as I'm healthy and my clients continue to trust me with their stories, I'll keep showing up with my cameras and do what I love for as long as I can.
Thank you to every client, friend, family member, colleague, and organization that has supported Minick Photography, LLC over the past 20 years. I never take that trust for granted, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to do what I love every day!
