Megumi Bacher is lifestyle photographer who currently lives and works in Los Angeles and specializes in children. Originally from Japan, she moved to LA to study photography, fell in love with the city and has been a resident for over twenty years.
After she became a mom of two kids, Megumi developed a passion for capturing kids being kids. She believes her work can have an impact, both big and small, that representing happy images of diverse groups of kids can have a positive impact. Her imagery is known for  being fun, quirky, and up-lifting, and she hopes it makes your day a little bit brighter.
In her time off work, she enjoys reading, joking around with her kids, and shopping for anything besides groceries.

Shelby Moore is  commercial food, beverage, and product photographer, living mostly, but also working in Los Angeles. Shelby was born and raised in Phoenix (and still down to drive six hours through the desert to shoot there now and again). Her background is in journalism and she graduated from ASU's Walter Cronkite school in 2014.
Gregory Miller loves his job because of all the interesting people he meets from all walks of life. He's photographed truck drivers, crabbers, mariachi, and linemen. Robot makers, whiskey makers, fridge makers, and nut pickers. Professional wrestlers, UN ambassadors, hall-of-famers and polka enthusiasts. Surgeons, CEOs, Air Force One pilots and brewers. Every person Gregory frames up with his camera gives him a little more insight and a broader understanding of what it means to be a person living a life on this planet. Whether Gregory's telling the stories of real people or working with casting directors to gather the group with the right mix, be assured he'll connect with whomever is on the other side of the camera.
Lynsey Weatherspoon’s first photography teacher was her late mother, Rhonda. Like her mentor-in-her-head Carrie Mae Weems, that first camera, a gift, delivered purpose. Her career includes editorial and commercial work, inspired and powered by her first teacher’s love and lessons. The #blackqueergirl is an award-winning photographer, portraitist, and director based in Atlanta and Birmingham. Using both photography and filmmaking as tools to tell stories, Weatherspoon’s work has been featured in print and online in such publications as the New York Times, USA Today, NPR, Wall Street Journal,  Washington Post, Time, ESPN, and ESPN-owned The Undefeated. As a member of a modern vanguard of photographers, she is often called on to capture heritage and history in real-time: The Equal Justice Institute’s Bryan Stevenson, The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, The Legacy Museum, Ronnie the shoe repairman in downtown Birmingham, the people of the Gullah-Geechee Corridor, an entire family infected with and affected by a pandemic, demonstrators with raised fists and sad, vulnerable eyes, the sons and daughters of history, the mothers of children who died making history, the majesty of Mardi Gras, the loving hands of family caregivers. Lynsey Weatherspoon’s work has been exhibited at The African American Museum in Philadelphia and Photoville NYC. She is an awardee: The Lit List, 2018. Her affiliations include Diversify Photo, Authority Collective, and Women Photograph, as well as National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), Professional Photographers Association (PPA), American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), and American Photographic Artists (APA). She was also named a Canon Explorer of Light in 2020. Lynsey is available to create assignments nationally and internationally through both stills and video. She also develops a specific curriculum for lectures to high schools, colleges, and conferences and is available for virtual and in-person speaking engagements.
Being the epitome of a third culture/military- industrial expat kid raised and connected to multiple continents at a young and impressionable age, James Gustin  easily relates to a diversity of cultures. He's lived all over Chicago with his wife, son, and dog for over thirty years. After shooting the street, weddings, and events for years, James formalized his portrait shooting practice under a ten-year tutelage with the iconic Chicago portraitist, Marc Hauser. James built on Marc's timeless backdrops, cornered reflectors, table top portraits, and into the possibilities of styled environmental location work. Over the last several years he's grown close with editors of The JWC Media team and has a deep body of work in and around the Chicagoland professional social scene. He's a team player with a gift for creativity and collaboration. Post Hauser (RIP Marc), James  studied extensively with Canon Explorer of Light, Bob Davis, and with Bob's Light Lab team deepened and tested the lighting method called the Triangle of Light,  a wonderfully flexible and creative approach to lighting design. James applies the triangle to any photo opportunity and without exception creates interesting and cinematic results in motion, stills, and belief systems. James loves the triangle technique and uses it as a foundation to create a style of multiple looks, feels, and rapport. James has an extensive and seasoned network of photographers, filmmakers, and production peeps that make any project possible with a close family alignment. Pre-production, humor, teaming and a 'git-it-done' attitude makes work fun, efficient, and fast. Finally, and important for some, James is a damn good open format DJ and known to mix up an exciting dance floor wrap party for all his client and production team celebrations.
Johnny Autry specializes in food, food culture, and beverage imagery. Along with my wife Charlotte, he runs a full-service photography studio in Asheville, North Carolina.
Dan Liberti is a Bay Area native with a subtle blend of nerdy and sleek aesthetics, which have caught the attention of some of tech’s biggest brands where he photographs and art directs galleries of all types of subject matter. While he’s more than happy getting lost in the details, he also knows not to lose the forest for the trees, embracing the occasional happy accident! When not in the studio, you can find him hanging with his family, growing veggies in the backyard, and searching for  mountain bike trails offering the most fun…there’s also some Beagle time with Ansel Adams the hound dog.
