Visiting a Pacific Grove lumber yard to make live social media photos

As sometimes happen, how I think a shoot will go, and how it actually goes, are quite different. Such was the case when I arrived at Hayward Lumber in Pacific Grove, California to first make social media content photos with a provided shot list, and then to get a few photographs of the event taking place right in the lumber yard parking lot. Normally I would want to setup shots, likely use off camera lighting, and be in a controlled environment when doing this kind of photography, but, none of that was possible in an open for business lumber yard! I had to get the shots I could, as work happened live, finding volunteers for photos when possible and trying to tick off as many shots as I could from the shot list. With the help of a few team members, I was able to complete the list in the end!

Dogs for social media marketing photos in Albuquerque New Mexico

Returning client Miguel of El Paisano Supermarket whom I have done several food photography shoots for in the past, had a very different photo shoot idea in mind this time. He wanted social media marketing photos of his French Bulldogs made on a colorful orange background. You do not need to do much besides feature a tiny French Bulldog puppy to make an attention grabbing social media photo, but putting her in a dog “Dogs Rulle” dog food bowl and then having the other two dogs pose with books and glasses for props while wearing sweaters, and now Miguel has a lot of high impact photo content to use on social media. Thank you Miguel for continuing to choose me as your photographer!
