Department of Energy sold out the 2019 Small Business Expo in Albuquerque New Mexico
Trusted by the Department of Energy
I have photographed a lot of high profile government events and officials, like when the U.S. Surgeon General attended a conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. However, this 2-day conference I photographed for the Department of Energy brought together every major political figure in New Mexico and Albuquerque on one stage! It was a great privilege to work for the Department of Energy as the official photographer for their DOE Summer ‘19 New Mexico Small Business Expo. Not only did I get to photograph Mayor Tim Keller for about the 10th time, and Governor Lujan Grisham for about the 5th time, and Senator Heinrich for the second time, and Representative Deb Haaland for the second time, but also many other leaders in the DOE looking to help grow small business in New Mexico by awarding contracts to a wide range of small businesses.
While photographing this event I ran into a past client and several other networking friends who told me they like receiving my weekly photo newsletter (subscribe at the bottom of the page). I did not expect to see so many familiar faces at a major conference like this!
My work in photography takes me inside events I would never normally get to attend. I had two reserved front row seats for me and my camera bag for the entire conference. I got to photograph leaders of Sandia National Lab and Los Alamos National Lab and meet on a personal level several of the attendees who liked to chat. Plus, I got a lot of vendor swag to take home too!
