CONTEST! In the past 10 days, how many images did I photograph?

Happy Monday everyone! If we are connected on Instagram or Facebook, you might have already seen the above image. I’m sharing it again because I am quite proud of it. The incredible team at Mustang Marketing were able to stitch together several of my images to create this wall sized print of my work for their commercial client. How amazing, right?

These days, marketing has taken a turn for the imaginative—in the best possible way. It’s no longer just about putting something out there and hoping it sticks; it’s about crafting experiences that feel just as thoughtful as that wall-sized print. From building sleek, responsive websites to ensuring they run smoothly behind the scenes, businesses are leaning into designs that not only look good but actually work hard. Right in the middle of it all, tools such as the Digital Marketers Directory are helping brands connect with professionals who understand how to balance creativity with performance.

And then there’s the technical side that quietly carries the whole show—SEO-friendly structures, smart integrations, even digital vCards that make networking feel a bit more refined than the old paper shuffle. It’s a blend of tradition meeting modern convenience, really. The tools have evolved, but the goal remains familiar: present your work in a way that lasts, leaves an impression, and earns its place on someone’s wall—whether that wall is brick or a browser tab.

Over the past 10 days, I traveled from DFW to Indianapolis to Los Angeles to DFW to Manhattan, KS to DFW. Poison oak covering a decent amount of my body, countless chigger bites, a giant blister on my left heel and a sun burnt left ear lobe are just a few physical maladies from my trip, but I met so many phenomenal people, photographed incredible relationships and created lifelong memories. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. During that time, I was home for a little less than 18 hours and I shot a TON! In total, I photographed the following…

2 Weddings
2 Full Day Commercial Shoots
2 Half Day Commercial Shoots
1 Attraction Session
4 Joy Sessions
1 Aspiring Photographer Workshop (APW)

To all of my clients waiting for their images, please know that I am working as quickly as I can to deliver them to you and I greatly appreciate your patience. The past 10 days were an amazing opportunity for me and I am humbled by everyone’s continued support and encouragement!
