Still Rise Farms is a special place. Founded by Dr. Monique Gary, a surgical oncologist and PCOM alumna, the 40-acre farm offers holistic wellness support for individuals navigating the challenges of cancer and chronic illness. I spent some inspiring time at the farm with Dr. Gary to create some images for PCOM’s Digest Magazine. 

If your company has invested in branding photos before, you already know how powerful they can be for marketing. Professional photos don’t just show what you do,  they help people connect with your team, your values, and the experience of working with your business. But here’s the deal: branding photos aren’t a one-and-done investment. Your company grows, your team evolves, and your visuals should reflect that.

So, how often should you update them? Let’s check it out.

I was on site to photograph an exciting event for Piramal Pharma Solutions as they announced a new partnership with NewAmsterdam Pharma Corporation. The ribbon cutting ceremony celebrated a major investment in a dedicated manufacturing site at their Sellersville, PA location. This new space will help support global production of a key cardiovascular treatment. Who knew such incredible work was going on in our little neck of the woods??

Last month, the Drexel Dragons traded textbooks for paddles as students from LeBow College of Business’s Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program took to the river for a day of dragon boat racing.

Photographing the Ministry of Awe inside the old Manufacturers’ National Bank isn’t just about documentation, it’s about stepping into a space that’s constantly shifting. With over 20 rooms and six towering floors of evolving art, each visit offers reveals something new. The goal is to preserve not just what’s on the walls, but the energy in each room.

Good corporate photos do something amazing: they make your business feel real. Instead of being just another company name, you become actual people doing meaningful work. Your headshots show the people behind the title. Your team photos capture the energy at your office. And those candid shots of your team hard at work? They tell the story of what your company is all about.

Spent some time with the students and teachers at St. John’s Prep for some branding photo updates. We were there in the Fall, but smart marketing professionals know that a new season = new photos!

Saint John’s Prep is just outside of Boston and has a beautiful 175 acre campus for their 1,400+ middle and high school students. I always love being able to tell a school’s community story through photos.

I have been working with the Center for Loss and Bereavement for a few years now, and I love supporting their mission any way that I can. In April they held their 5th Annual Strides of Hope 5K at Heebner Park in Worcester, PA. This event raised funds and awareness for grief support services at the Center and brought together the community to remember loved ones. The day was filled with hope, healing, and connection.

But also, how has it been 18 years? Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way and a few favorites from our whirlwind of a May so far.
