We recently announced that I have purchased 100% of the shares of Ampersand Studios after 15 gorgeous, amazing, whirly-wind, crazy good years building it with my work wife, Nichole Schoener. She is on to new adventures, and I'm just getting started over here. Exciting new beginnings for both of us! Right now, I'm feeling like bragging about my incredible team who has been here for me in a big way through this transition and supported me as a leader. Like, I could cry. But I don't have time for that! This year, we're looking to work with product and e-commerce brands that are looking for a content creator partnership. Need not be local! We of course still love helping personal brands and teams as well. Here are a few of my favorite shoots from 2024. And I can't wait to see who we get to work with this year! Let's gooooo! ??

VOTE FOR US ON BOISE FAVORITES!! category: services > photographer Just takes a minute! We appreciate it so much! voteboisefavorites.com

A library of digital assets is what business owners dreams are made of. ? Stock photography simply doesn’t come close to telling your brand’s story when compared to imagery of your actual people, places, products, and processes. We love working with local small businesses to share about the real people inside the brand so that your customers see the same familiar faces when they walk through the doors as they see online. Time to book those Q4 shoots! ?? Client: Naylor’s Auto Repair #boisephotographer #boisebrandphotographer #boisebusiness #brandphotography

Isn’t she cute? ?? Just to clear up a few things… ??Courtney loves taking care of the plants. (The indoor plants of course ??) ??? yes that’s @jamieleecurtis on Grace’s desk. She just really loves her a lot. ?????? I’m dead serious about the chairs. Please let us know if you’re interested in any of them! The pink ones have got to go! Also, how do we feel about faux boxwoods? Cheesy or definitely the right move? ????♀? #boisebusiness #boise #boisephotographer #boisebrandphotographer #brandphotography #brandcoach #brandingagency

You’ve already got your makeup done, you might as well double the content ??♀? We’re always talking about how our photoshoots give you (c’mon, say it with us…) ? VARIETY ? ...and our Reels sessions do too! Here’s what to expect when you add a Reels Session to your photoshoot: ? First, we’ll send you a quick survey asking about the Reels you’re into (and the ones you’re not), videos you want to recreate, your music vibe, and even rating Reel types from 1-10 on how much they fit your brand (meme Reels, talking heads, b-roll—you get the idea). ? Once we’ve got your answers, we’ll send a project brief your way laying out the Reels we’ve got planned. We’re talking audio links, details on exact clips we’ll be capturing, the purpose behind each Reel, and links to any inspiration videos. This gives you a chance to peek and tweak before shoot day. ? On shoot day, our social team will be working in tandem with our photographers, grabbing content between shots and after your shoot wraps if needed. You’ll barely notice a difference, but instead of leaving with just photos, you’ll get: + 8-12 done-for-you, ready-to-post Reels. + A whole Dropbox folder packed with all the clips we snagged, so you’ve got plenty for future use. So, if you’re into making the most of your time like us, this is the ultimate way to get double the content without getting ready twice ??

?It’s been almost a year since we closed on the purchase of our very own building and got to work turning an old auto parts shop into our dream photo studio and creative work space. ? This is where the good times happen! Our forever home ?? A lot of hard work and an incredibly talented team of passionate people who make this place what it is. Have you been to the new Ampersand Studios HQ? Come on in! Let’s create something magical together. ?? #boisephotographer #boisebrandphotographer #brandphotography #boisebusiness #brandingagency #brandcoach #boise #smallbusiness #branding

??Law 26: Your skills are worthless, but your context is valuable. Steven Bartlett writes in Diary of a CEO about this idea… _____________________________________ Of course we want to be the best at what we do. We all want to provide immense value to the world… to our clients. And the reality is that there’s someone out there LESS qualified doing it on a different level. Serving bigger clients, making more money. And their clients are finding value. _____________________________________ ??In the book he tells the story of the world famous violinist, Joshua Bell who sells out concert halls with tickets that cost hundreds of dollars each. But when he played his multi million dollar violin on the streets, few stopped to listen and he collected $52.17 for his same talents. The quote at the end of the chapter says this: “To be considered the best in your industry, you don’t need to be the best at any one thing. You need to be good at a variety of complementary and rare skills that your industry values and that your competitors lack.” _____________________________________ This is what we are good at. At helping you discover what that is for yourself and your business. What is it that makes you different and what makes you the best choice for a specific group of people? More importantly, what combination of things do you mashup to make you the only one who can solve a certain set of problems? _____________________________________ Your skills are worthless, but your context is valuable. Are you playing on the streets or in the concert hall? Are you playing to the right audience? ??Thank you Steven Bartlett for this. And for what has quickly become my favorite business and personal development book. Highly recommend Diary of a CEO. ?????????? What are your thoughts on this topic? Let’s discuss in the comments ??
