Happy birthday to the employee of the month. On his last performance review he ranked outstanding in kindness, helpfulness and creativity. While there have been some HR reports filed by his brother, he still received an outstanding on his big brother report. We are incredibly proud of him❤️

Before someone calls, emails, or books with you, they'll probably visit your website first.

In a matter of seconds, they're deciding whether you look like someone they can trust.

That's why professional headshots matter.

A strong headshot does more than show what you look like—it communicates confidence, credibility, and professionalism before a single conversation happens.

People do business with people. Make sure your first impression helps build trust.

Had a great time doing a headshot booth at my BNI chapter's regional mixer over at Mazatlan South Hill last night.

One of my favorite parts of these events is watching people loosen up after the first photo. Most people walk in saying they “hate getting headshots,” then 2 minutes later they’re laughing with the person next in line and helping each other fix collars and jackets.

Networking events are always interesting because everyone shows up to talk business, but the best moments usually happen in between the conversations.

Appreciate everyone who stopped by the booth, jumped in front of the camera, and made the night fun to photograph.

One of my favorite parts of events like the Harbor in Bloom Spring Faire in Gig Harbor is seeing familiar faces and getting to tell stories that continue beyond a single project.

This weekend, I had the chance to walk through the fair capturing moments, community, and all the energy that makes local events special — but one highlight was stopping by the .barbershop booth and seeing their business thriving in the middle of it all.

There’s something really rewarding about working with people over time and getting to document different chapters of their story. From creating content together in the past to now seeing them connect with the community face-to-face at the fair, it was a reminder that photography is about more than images — it’s about relationships, growth, and the people behind the business.

Gig Harbor showed up in a big way this weekend. Grateful to be part of it and to keep highlighting the businesses and people building community here.

Some of the best moments to photograph are the ones that matter beyond the camera.

Last fall, I had the opportunity to photograph two volunteer events and capture the people, teamwork, and impact behind the projects. These are the kinds of images that help organizations tell their story to volunteers, donors, and the community.

“Daniel took photos at two of our volunteer events in the fall of 2025. He was able to navigate our project site with ease and captured natural, fun, and high quality photos that we can share with volunteers, donors, and grantors. We're grateful for these great images!”

Authentic photos help people connect with your mission before they ever read a paragraph.

Had the opportunity to cover the Construct Bookkeeping booth at the Sherwin-Williams Pro Show, and it was awesome to see firsthand how many contractors are looking for smarter ways to run their numbers—not just their jobs.

Construct Bookkeeping is built specifically for the construction world, helping business owners stay organized, understand their finances, and ultimately make better decisions. And judging by the conversations happening at the booth, that kind of support is needed now more than ever.
Grateful to be part of it, capture the moments, and help tell the story behind a service that’s making a real impact.

Looking forward to getting out to more events like this and connecting with more businesses doing things the right way.

✨CLIENT APPRECIATION✨ The best clients are ones that look out for you even if they aren't the best option. Shout out to Crescent Dental in Bonny Lake for the great recommendation of a pediatric dentist.

So proud of our youngest "employee"! He has jumped into his jiu jitsu journey recently and earned his first stripe 🥳 Special thank you to the coaches at , for putting in the time, kindness, knowledge and most of all patience with this spicy meatball of ours.

If you have kids, I can not recommend enough.
