The transition to corporate work wasn't something I planned in the early days of MKP. (If I’m honest, I’m really not much of a planner, I’m more of a “recognize your opportunities and seize them” kind of gal.) It happened gradually as I began exploring what else my photography could accomplish beyond documenting life's big moments. It didn’t take long to I realize that the skills I was using while shooting weddings and portraits had many more applications than I imagined.

It’s probably true that most people don’t get excited about annual reports. But they can be exciting, especially when they are telling a real story - and great photography is one of the best ways to deliver that message.

The faces on your site may have long since graduated, and some other cringe fashion trend from your youth is making a comeback. But don’t stress, one of the easiest (and most impactful) ways to breathe new life into your website and online presence is by updating your branding photos.

High-quality photography is no longer just a nice-to-have for medical practices, it is an essential part of communicating trust, professionalism, and care. Whether you're running a family practice, specialty clinic, or large medical group, quality images can strengthen your connection with current and prospective patients.

Whether you're a small business owner, a marketing director, or a nonprofit leader, knowing the difference between corporate and commercial photography can help you make the best investment for your brand’s visibility and success.

Millennials and Zoomers are so tired of online ads (I mean, aren’t we all). Think of how quickly you skip an online ad or install an ad blocker. Out-of-Home advertising (OOH) or, ya know, billboards, can use authentic and honest messaging to influence consumers… AND, you can’t ad block a billboard!
