My Wine Tasting & Portrait Party Wrap-Up

I can’t believe that it has been two weeks since my Wine Tasting & Portrait Party.  I have to say it turned out better than I could ever have imagined.  Yes, this is one of those events that still has me walking on cloud nine.

Why you ask?  Well, I don’t mean to sound corny but I truly loved being able to capture beautiful images of all the amazing women who attended.  There is nothing that makes me happier than to have someone who claims they never take a good photo, take a peek at an image I’ve captured and say that they actually love it.  Reactions like this make my heart sing.

If you are a fan of my Facebook page, you have probably seen many of these gorgeous faces already but I think they are definitely worth sharing again.

I want thank all of the beautiful women pictured above (and a few who I am still waiting to hear back from) for attending and for providing me with the opportunity and honor to photograph them.   I think they all had as much fun as I did.

I’d also like to thank some of my favorite photography and tech companies for providing awesome products and discounts for my gift bags.  Everyone truly loved and appreciated these goodies and their generosity!

A huge shout out to Speck Products for their awesome iPhone and iPad cases, to Minted for their beautiful Thank You cards, to Simply Galleries for their generous discount on their fabulous canvas wraps, to Booksto.Me for their free Instagram photo book, to Social Print Studio for their product discount code, and to Pic Monkey for their one month upgrade.

Also a heartfelt thanks to my dear friend Victoria for bringing her fantastic CABI clothes , to Lisa for sharing her beautiful Stella & Dot accessories with everyone and to Monina from Moderne Beauty for her make-up artistry. These ladies made everyone feel special and look so glam!   They are my dream team!

And I mustn’t forget Terri of Terri From Scratch for her delicious baked treats and House Family Vineyards for providing us with such an amazing backdrop for these photos.

To those of you who couldn’t attend this time, I hope you will join me at a future event  (I am planning on having another portrait party in September).  I promise I will do my best to capture a gorgeous photo of you and that you will enjoy an evening full of laughter, friendship, and fun.

Why I Still Love a Good Desk Branding Photo.....

Some photographers might say that desk photos are overdone, but I disagree. A well-done desk shot is classic, versatile, and tells a powerful story about your brand.

Here’s why I love them:

✨ Instant Credibility – A desk shot immediately positions you as a professional. Whether you`re a professional service, creative, or consultant, it shows you in action, in your element.

💻 Relatable & Approachable – Let’s be real—most of us spend a lot of time at our desks. A branding photo taken at your workspace feels natural and gives potential clients a peek into your daily world.

📸 Endless Variety – A desk photo doesn’t have to be boring! It can be styled in so many ways—laptop open, coffee in hand, mid-laugh, deep in thought, or even feet up on the desk.

💡 Perfect for Website & Social Media – Need a banner image for your website? A behind-the-scenes post? A professional yet casual LinkedIn update? A desk shot works for all of these!

At the end of the day, branding photos aren’t about chasing trends. They’re about capturing YOU in a way that connects with your audience. And if a desk photo helps tell your brand story? Then it’s absolutely worth taking!
