Celebrating 2024: My Year in Photography Review

Writer's picture: mmivillevisualsmmivillevisuals

As we step into the new year, I find myself reflecting on the incredible experiences that 2024 has brought my way. This year has been a whirlwind of travel, creativity, and collaboration, thanks to both new and old clients who have made this journey unforgettable. The opportunities to create stunning photo and video content have not only enriched my portfolio but have also allowed me to forge meaningful connections with previous and new clients from locations across the country.

The Impact of New Clients

This year, I had the pleasure of working with several new clients who brought fresh needs and styles to the table. Each project was a unique adventure, allowing me to explore new locations and capture moments that resonate with their audiences. Here are a few highlights:


  • Destination Work: One of the standout projects was a destination shoot in a picturesque American Fork, UT, just south of Salt Lake City. My job was to photograph and film a home with a 26 foot deep pool for my railing client, Key Link. The stunning backdrop provided the perfect canvas for to really show off their products that had been incorporated into this stunning home, resulting in breathtaking content that truly captured the essence of the home and location. Key Link ended up winning an award from the North American Deck & Railing Association using the photos and videos I created for this project. Huge congrats to them!

  • Another Country: On a separate trip for a different client, I found myself in Toronto, Canada photographing for a cookie company with my friends at Synapse. We photographed throughout the baking facility (which smelled so amazing at all times), capturing workers working, details of the facility and some product photos of cookies!

  • Some Fun: With new clients, you get to work with new people who after many long shoot days just make it fun to be around them. This year, I worked with Lift Inc to have fun. We had some weather and timing challenges, but otherwise, we had several days that were just fun. Creating new work with them was a good time and always well streamlined.

  • Corporate Marketing Photos & Video: Another memorable experience was working with MKT Metal out of York, PA. I worked with them to create new headshots, marketing photos and videos of both their York, PA and Wilson, NC locations. The energy of the employees made it easy to create engaging content that showcased the company culture.

  • Adventure Travel: I also traveled to Texas twice this year, one of which was for a new client through an agency I collaborate with regularly, Landscape Leadership. Our trip took us to Waco, TX to work with Green Ackors Landscaping, where I captured stunning landscapes and candid moments. The content we created together not only elevated their brand but also showed how personal their business really is with their clients.

The Value of Long-Standing Relationships

While new clients have brought excitement to my work, it is the long-standing relationships that have truly made this year special. Returning clients trust me with their vision, and that trust allows for deeper creativity and collaboration. Here are a few highlights from my ongoing partnerships:

  • Architectural Work: One of my favorite clients over the years has been working with the architectural firm TONO Group. This year, they decided they wanted to do a larger marketing push and that involved me capturing more than just the occasional finished project. We worked together with Fair Game PR to create a visual brand identity that has worked to flood their social media from last year though this year. We've captured some amazing stuff and I'm excited to create more with them in 2025.

  • Portrait Work: I continue to work with several clients to create studio and on location portrait photography. I love working with people to enhance and update their portraits. I feel like everyone should update their headshot or portrait every year to two.

  • Product Work: Something I hope to do more of in 2025 is product photography. I have a few clients that continue to allow me to create consistent and stylish product photography of their current and new lineups of products. With one new product client in 2024, I'm hoping for even in more in the next year.

  • A Big Event Highlight: I wanted to highlight one event with a client that I've had a long relationshiop with. They were the first client I worked with when I went full time in 2017 and I was thankful Lancaster Country Club asked me to come out to photograph their club during the 2024 US Women's Open. It was an amazing event that they worked for years to bring into focus. It was such a fun time and the Lancaster Community is very thankful they continue to focus on bringing international events to our area. And thank you for having me be a part of it.
