Let’s Catch Your Vibe, Class of 2026!

If you still haven’t chosen your Halloween costume yet, there’s probably zero chance you’re thinking much about graduation. Sure, it feels far off but take it from us… senior year will go by in a blink. Between finals, games, college apps, and everything in between, before you know it, you’ll be donning your cap and gown, ready to close this chapter and move onto your next adventure. That’s why this time deserves to be celebrated. Not with stiff, awkward yearbook photos, but with images that actually capture who you are.

That’s where we come in. Hi!

Visual Storytelling for Small Businesses: 5 Key Elements We Should See in Your Brand Photos

As small business owners ourselves, we already know you’ve poured your heart into your brand. Between creating your offerings, designing your logo, building a website, there are so many important details that go into small business ownership. And there’s one that too many small business owners overlook: professional branding photography.   

In our ever-scrolling society, if you want your brand to stand out, you better have the photos to do so. Thoughtful brand photography isn’t just about looking polished; ideally, it tells the story of your business and the brain behind it. Done well, your professional branding photography should make potential clients stop, feel something, and want to connect.

This begs the question: what story are your brand photos telling, assuming you even have them?

At CYV Photography, we help small businesses across New England show up visually in a way that feels authentic to who they are. Kind of like writing your own bio, figuring out what your brand photos should say can be daunting. When you partner with us, you get a team who will help you visually convey your message, clearly, through compelling images. 

Our experience with branding photography in NH has taught us a few things; not the least of which are the five key elements your brand photos should represent.

5 Reasons to Invest in Event Photography (Even for Small Events)

Hiring a professional photographer for a big wedding or a corporate gala makes sense; in fact, you’ve probably already done it. Most of us have for one occasion or another. However, an event doesn’t need to be big to be special or meaningful. Size doesn’t matter when it comes to milestone birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversary dinners, school events, nonprofit fundraisers, or even a cozy open house at your business.  

Consider this quote by Andrew Michael Ramsay: “Great events are the hour-hands of time, while small events mark the minutes.” Never heard of him? We hadn’t either, but Google tells us he was a pretty big deal writer in Scotland during the 1600s. 

If you ask our team, Ramsay was onto something. We believe every event, no matter how small, deserves to be documented with intention and an eye for those meaningful moments you’ll remember long after. 

While we’re proud to be professional wedding photographers in New England, we’re just as pumped to be a part of something just as valuable, but understated. 

For those of you who have been on the fence about whether it’s worth it to hire a photographer for your more “casual” or intimate occasion, we’ve got five compelling reasons to say yes.
