Behind the Scenes — An On-Location Corporate Headshot Session with All County Exteriors

August 29, 2026

One of our favorite kinds of sessions is an on-location corporate headshot session — when we bring the studio setup to a company's own office and photograph the whole team on-site, in one sitting, without anyone needing to leave work.

Why Your Dog Belongs in This Summer's Family Portraits

The family is settled, the light is doing exactly what I hoped it would, and then someone looks down and says, "Can we get one with him too?"Of course we can. He's not an afterthought. He's been in the background of your life for years — riding in the car with his head out the window, waiting by the door every evening, curled up in the one spot on the couch that's technically his now. ...
