So apparently I'm a fancypants "influencer" now. 😏

Just kidding (mostly). But I am honored to share that I've been named an Adobe Education Institute Influencer for 2026 — and yes, that's a real thing.

Here's the kicker: I threw together my portfolio submission in just a few hours. Nothing like a tight deadline to remind you what you're actually capable of when you stop overthinking and just create.

Curiosity, enthusiasm, and digital literacy are the foundation of modern photography, from Adobe Express to desktop publishing and beyond. This badge is just a little reminder that showing up and doing the work pays off.

Check out the portfolio I submitted (link below) and take a look at the badge that makes me officially "influential." 😉

It feels so good to finally be back at it after my injury! 🖤

To ease back into things and give more people a chance to work with me, I’m rolling out a 30-Minute Mini Photoshoot for just $79.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence or just need a quick content refresh without breaking the bank, this is the move. Seriously, $79 for professional, quality photos is a steal. 📸

Spots are first come, first served!

💗Happy Valentines Day!💗

I love seeing my work being turned into film covers. Such a cool feeling to see my photos used this way...

📣ANNOUNCEMENT📣
Yes. I made a movie. With some of my buddies. ‘Give It Up’ was a real labor of love and you finally have a chance to see it! In San Jose! We are proud to announce that the WORLD PREMIER will be at the Cinequest film festival!

We’re thrilled to debut at the incredible California Theatre on March 15th, and then we’ll be screening at the San Jose Alamo Drafthouse on March 18th. Tickets available through the links in my bio.

I can’t say enough about how good it is. Am I biased? Yes. Am I drunk? Yes. But come from far and wide to support! Gareforce, dollheads, we’rehere-dos! Unite!

A Look Back, A Lens Forward. | Big Click Energy: Year End Reflection

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m taking a moment to reflect, not just as a photographer, but as the person behind the camera.

This year taught me more about resilience than I ever expected. My own journey with a chronic condition meant adapting constantly. There were highs, like getting back in the groove after a procedure in July, and challenging lows, currently navigating life with a cane once again. Through it all, this craft, this business, has been a profound source of focus and joy.

Which is why my heart is so full of gratitude. To every client who trusted me to capture their milestones, to every couple who let me tell their love story, and to everyone who showed such grace and patience when my body needed it: thank you. Your support isn't just business; it's the energy that fuels this venture.

A special highlight was stepping into a new, stable day job that supports my health. This security allows me to approach Big Click Energy not from a place of pressure, but from pure passion. It means I can continue to invest in my art and serve you with even more presence and creativity.

So, what’s next? 2026 is a fresh canvas. I am more excited than ever to create, to collaborate, and to chase that perfect light with you. I’m committed to not just taking pictures, but crafting lasting memories, with a perspective deepened by another year of life’s contrasts.

Here’s to the moments we’ve shared and the incredible ones still to come. Let’s make some magic.

With gratitude and Big Click Energy,

-Paulann
