In July, we did something a little different. We spent a week in the mountains of Georgia documenting the most amazing conference. Our good friend Mike Young introduced us to BRI at the Together SC conference in March. This is such a deeply connected community that we're so proud to be able to help tell their story.

Sometimes you just have to get your frustrations out! I mean why haven't printers advanced at the same rate as all of the rest of our technology? Office Space was made in 1999. This feeling is still relevant today. Printers are the worst! It deserved it.

Eight years.

It's hard to believe we've been telling Camp Cole's story for that long.

When we first started working together, I don't think any of us could have imagined where this journey would lead. Since then, we've watched Camp Cole grow into something truly extraordinary, serving thousands of campers and families while continuing to expand its impact year after year.

I've said many times that so much of what I understand about nonprofit fundraising and storytelling was learned while working alongside this incredible organization. They've challenged us, inspired us, and trusted us with one of the greatest responsibilities a storyteller can have: helping share their mission with the world.

To everyone at Camp Cole, thank you for believing in us for the past eight years. We're incredibly proud to have As Told By associated with your organization, and even more grateful to call you friends.

Congratulations on everything you've built. We can't wait to keep telling your story.

❤️

People need to believe before they get involved. They need to understand why the work you do matters. Rather than just giving people the information. Tell them a story. Invite them into your success. Help them be a part of something wonderful.

Here's the video we showed to 100 nonprofit executives at the Blue Ridge Institute last week. It's so powerful to show the right video in a room full of your target audience. This was so fun.

We had our friends from Emmaus in today to record some videos for Sundays. Always a pleasure to work with them!

Every once in a while, it's healthy to turn the cameras around on ourselves.

This week we updated our team portraits.

On the surface, they're just headshots. But for us, they were really an exercise in asking a bigger question:

"If someone has never met us before, what should these photos say?"

We weren't chasing the latest trend or trying to make everyone look like they stepped out of a corporate stock photo.

We wanted them to feel like the people you meet when you walk into our studio—approachable, thoughtful, and genuine.

We spent a surprising amount of time fine-tuning the lighting, adjusting tiny details, and coaching expressions. Not because headshots need to be perfect, but because we believe every image communicates something.

It's the same philosophy we bring to every story we tell for our clients.

Whether it's a fundraising campaign, a nonprofit leader, or a business owner, our job isn't just to make someone look good.

It's to help people feel like they're meeting the real person.

We're pretty happy with how these turned out.

Finally added a switcher to the studio! Not sure why it took so long. It's an Atem Mini ISO for the gear nerds.
