One of our favorite things about this line of work are the jobs that seemingly come out of nowhere. Case in point: Jacksonville Florida. Although we’re sworn to secrecy about what we actually worked on there ( Best Paste, Apollo Scrubs, Asmbly Agency), we did take our trusty little travel cameras with us with the intent of somewhat documenting our adventure. And document, we did. So today, we’re sharing a few of our favorite travel images. Enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the last blog post of 2021. Traditionally, we have shared our favorite images from the past year. Of course, we have a lot of favorites and so our posts have pretty much been a photodump smorgasbord from the past year. This year, challenged ourselves to find and share 21 photos from the past year, along with a short blurb or story behind each one. So without further adieu, here they are. Enjoy.

Through the years, people have turned all sorts of hobbies into profitable businesses. For Jason Hayes, this has been achieved through his love of thrift store treasure hunting and reselling. As a teenager, I used to frequent thrift stores, due to the fact that you could find really awesome stuff there for cheap. And while that still remains true, there is another side to the thrift store industry; treasure hunting. (click to read more)

Recently, we had the opportunity to create a short video teaching the fundamentals of how to ride a bike on a pump track. This project coincided with some product photography showcasing two new pump track bikes from Mongoose. This project allowed us the opportunity to not only practice our video skills, but to get some visual tips and tricks on how to actually ride a pump track. And that’s exactly why we love what we do.

Enjoy the video.

Today on the blog, we are pleased to share a somewhat extensive photo recap of the 2021 Arkansas Enduro Series. The five races that make up the Arkansas Enduro Series were held at 5 unique locations this year. And after the craziness and instability of 2020, the participants were eager to get back into the routines of training, racing and overall fun and comraderie. This year’s series did not disappoint.

Today is special day. We are pleased to finally be able to share some images of The Tree House, a new “speak-easy” inspired establishment in Downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. Make your way into the unassuming little house and you feel as if you’ve stepped into someone’s living room. You may also feel as if you’ve stepped back in time, as the decor in the living room (as well as the other rooms) would lead you to believe that’s the case.

Make your way past the hidden door into the kitchen area and you will find yourself in a…(click to read more)

Today on the blog: A compilation of recent commercial headshots and professional portraits of some of the best people in our little corner of the state. Our headshot and portrait clients range from people featured in magazine articles, to real estate agents, to college professors, food and beverage workers, healthcare professionals, and even (as you’ll see below), professional cyclists. On average, 75 to 80 percent of the people we work with say “I hate having my picture taken.” And that’s ok, because we hate having our pictures taken too. No seriously, we do. But having that connection makes us empathetic towards the people we work with and we try to make the whole process as quick, as painless and as easy going as we can make it. It’s always intriguing to meet new people and learn more about their line of work during the process of creating their portraits. And as you can see from the photos, we tend to have a bit of fun too. If you or someone you know needs updated professional headshots or commercial photography, feel free to contact us.

Today on the blog: Recent editorial photography work featuring Innovative Dental in Springfield Missouri. To say this is the nicest place we’ve ever had the pleasure of working would be a drastic understatement. Innovative Dental is led by Dr. Grant Olson, who specializes in dental, ortho, cosmetic and implant work. His talent is proven by his national and in some cases, international client base. And it certainly helps that the facility acts as a sort of spa retreat for everyone that walks through the doors. Among the favorite amenities are… (click to read more)

Recently, we paid a visit to the newly opened Osage Park, located in Bentonville Arkansas. The Peel Compton Foundation tasked us with providing them some marketing photos, highlighting the beautiful natural settings as well as the stunning architecture designs and details of the spaces. The park is officially open and for the most part, complete. (at the time of the photoshoot, the archery area was still incomplete).

The park itself is a carefully curated mixture of…(click to read more)
