When you think technology, images of photo shoots and the “glam” lifestyle don’t immediately come to mind. But at Enterhost we are anything but status quo.
Not only do we employ top-notch talent, but we hold our vendors to the same high standards. Last year we were fortunate enough to team up with top Dallas photographer, Vanessa Gavalya, during a Dell photo shoot. So when the opportunity came up to shoot head shots for our team, we immediately called Vanessa. Some of her major clients include Pizza Hut, Bank of America, Frito-Lay, Playskool and George Strait’s latest CD cover.
We all gathered at a shoot location near our 20,000 square foot data center in Fort Worth, Texas, where Enterhost is headquartered. After a lot of planning and coordinating shoot times, travel, catering and wardrobe, the day of the photo shoot finally arrived!
It seemed like a lot, but thanks to Vanessa and her producer Heather Warborg, we got everyone in and out ahead of schedule, the pictures looked amazing and we had a blast. Check out the Enterhost Facebook page our follow us on Twitter (@Enterhost) to see behind the scenes photos.
It was exciting to have nearly all of us in the same place at the same time. At Enterhost, we use Lync for all office communication (phone, instant messaging, conferencing, etc.) and it has transformed how we work and allowed us to stay connected. But as great as Lync is, nothing beats shaking someone’s hand or sitting around telling stories over a drink. It’s a true testament to our office synergy when we all packed in to one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants for an after photo shoot celebration. I’m proud to work for a company whose employees enjoy each other’s company outside of work. And we aren’t just tooting our own horn. Vanessa sent us a note commenting on how lucky we are to work with such a fun group!
A huge thank you goes out to Vanessa and her team for working with us. A great photographer knows things like lighting and camera lenses, but an amazing photographer gets to know the people they are shooting, makes them feel comfortable and helps them look their best. And thank you to all of our awesome employees. You helped the day run smoothly and provided plenty of laughs.
