This commercial photography assignment for The Napa Valley Marketplace Magazine began when I met the wife of local businessman George McCuen of Napa Wealth Management.  George wanted professional photographs taken of himself,  his team and their offices.  Lucky for me, their offices are in the middle of the quaint town of Napa, complete with Victorian era architecture and early twentieth-century, California Bungalows.

For our shoot, I selected the perfect location just across the street from their office.   From this vantage point, I was able to incorporate the entire office building in the background by shooting from an elevated position.  I placed particular focus on the team of financial advisers in the foreground.

We had such a great time working together that day. The guys are a very kind and fun bunch. I love my work, and it seems my enthusiasm rubbed off on the team at Napa Wealth Management. Working closely with my subjects and building relationships is what the art of photography is all about!

It really showed in these photographs, and this shot made the cover of Napa Valley Marketplace magazine. The magazine goes out to over 41 thousand readers in the valley!
