I've been quiet for awhile.

Still creating portraits, just not posting about it.

Working on new things, but not posting about them, either.

Until today. When I went out to my favorite place, and simply created for myself.

Expect...more.

You know what's great about being part of a network with a 40+ year history? Knowing that you're not re-inventing the wheel...knowing that someone else, somewhere, has faced the challenge you're facing...and knowing that if they could do it, so can you.

Hear from BNI Members across the globe, how BNI has helped grow their business.

The longer I'm in business, the more I value my network of business colleagues. BNI has been instrumental in developing my business.

DM me. We'll talk.

We're all used to the "Small Business Saturday" slogans that pop up for the holidays. I'm in favor of them.

Guess what else I'm in favor of? Shopping local, small businesses year-round as much as possible.

Why?

Because those small businesses are the economic heart of small towns, and they're here EVERY DAY, including Saturdays.

As much fun as it was to photograph the TEDxJasper 2026 event, it was even more fun creating portraits and headshots for the speakers.

Eight special people with important messages to share. Eight different personalities to represent in images that are true to them.

Exhausting? A little bit.
Entertaining? Absolutely!
Enlightening? Beyond imagination!

Thank you to the presenters for trusting me to create your images.

Thank you, , for honoring me with this opportunity.

Thank you of , , and all of the workers who put their hearts into this event, and who made my experience as part of the team a delight.
