In order to stand out from your competition, you want to show more than just your headshot in your social media sites.  Your potential clients want to see more of you.  You want people to feel comfortable and connected to you. By showing images beyond the basic headshot, like lifestyle photos, behind the scenes, details of your work, and environmental portraits, people develop a bond to you and your business.  Judi Lawrence of Center City Notary and Lawrence Institute for Notaries in Philadelphia, PA, understands this need for quality photography.  She has an active business that includes Notary Public work, Apostille Agent, LegalShield Representative as well as online educator and author.  Her many social media outlets needs visual content.  She strives to brand herself in a positive light.

Camera phone and selfies are nice but nothing beats the quality of professional photography.  Professional photographers know how to make you look good.  It is about the composition, the lighting, the pose and importantly they make adjustments that enhances your photos.  These professional photos will help emphasize the quality of your business’ services and products.

Palisades Fourth of July Parade

Images from the 55th annual Palisades Community Fourth of July Parade.  Organized by the Palisades Community Association, groups, politicians, local businesses are invited to participate.  Everyone just joins in the parade which begins on Whitehaven and Foxhall and proceeds down MacArthur Boulevard. After the parade there is a free picnic at the Palisades Rec Center. The best small town parade in DC, seems I captured a lot of waving photos, DC Police Chief Contee, DC Mayor Bowser, Beauty Queens, and Sailors.  From the beginning of the parade with the Color Guard to the end as people cross the street there were bands and lots of kids too.  It is a great neighborhood event. Images from the Parade. All shot on a Nikon Z6 with the Nikkor 70-200 and Nikkor 24-70.
