My personal take on the Crew during this time
As I sit here with limited human interaction, other than my family (really just wife now - kids grown and out), I realize how thankful I am to have a group of people to interact with, albeit only online, that share common interests and goals. With photography being both a profession and hobby, it’s nice to know that I can reach out to someone to ask a...

It's more than an online site of learning and you've experienced...

It's all about the client
Unless you are portfolio building and doing TFP work, keep your client at the forefront. This is Rosalyn. Yesterday was her third time back to my studio. This third time was a charm because I finally get it! Ros is over the top in her style. Instead of reaching for makeup wipes and wanting a clean slate, I let Ros be Ros. (just to clarify I've never had her...
Thanks to the Crew!
Just wanted to give a huge shout out to the Crew! Had my first job booked through the Headshot Crew website from a client in New York! This Ipswich Gal is pretty chuffed and I'm grateful to be a part of this group. Thanks guys!

We are all here to crank each other up collectively and I certainly couldn't do it without each and every one of you. To have a community of like-minded individuals that empower and feed off of...
PPE fomo
If you haven’t already, you’re going to start seeing posts and IG stories featuring shenanigans from PPE. You’re going to be missing out on parties and dinners and other assorted adventures.

Read Em and Weep!
The only thing that I wish was that I had a date on this sucker. I love that I had handwritten it on a goal card because it gave me the flashback to the kid who wrote it all these years later.
