The Pennsylvania Conference for Women attracted nearly 9,000 women to Philadelphia this year. Our team was there in 2023 so I was happy to be back at it with my right hand woman, Theresa. I love what the event stands for and am so grateful I was able to be involved in my own way.

Conferences, tradeshows and company retreats are pivotal for knowledge sharing, networking, and branding your business or institution. When planning events like these, your budget is often stretched across numerous categories: venue, speakers, materials, refreshments, and countless other details. It can be easy to overlook or opt out of professional photo and video coverage of your event. But not investing in visual coverage for your conference could end up costing you valuable marketing opportunities in the future. The photographs taken during these annual events play a crucial role in extending their impact far beyond the event itself.

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on all the interesting jobs and people I’ve gotten to work with this year. 2023 has been a unique journey – one filled with incredible opportunities, challenges, and growth. As a professional photographer, I have been fortunate to work with a diverse array of businesses and universities, each with its own distinct story to tell.

So far in this life of mine, my proximity to mass spectrometers and other complex lab equipment was mostly from crime scene procedurals like CSI. And of course I’ve gotten to visit many college and university labs with a catalog of new and old equipment in my photography career. Lucky for me, Novatia reached out in hopes we could update their staff headshots and lab photos at their cutting-edge facility in Newtown, PA.
