Doug Jackson - Photo by Lori Woldt, Larimar Images
Oops! Sometimes the many hats I wear get tangled and I forget critical issues. This morning, I was working with Lori Woldt, a friend that I have known for many years. She had been wanting to update her LinkedIn profile and knew that I offer that service to my Design Resumes clients. She is a realtor, who has owned Keystone Realty for sometime and has also been gradually expanding into photography. I was really unaware of how much she was expanding until we met this morning.
Lori takes this world of photography very seriously. She is almost a graduate from the New York Institute of Photography. New York Institute of Photography is the world’s largest photography school. Instruction by respected real-life photographers combined with their online magazine and featured tips provide an unparalleled level of support to guide students through the amazing landscape of traditional or digital photography. Lori has learned web-based media strategies and is continually expanding her offerings.
With her real estate background, Lori partnered with RealTour Vision software, a recognized leader in interactive 360° panoramic virtual tours, when she launched Larimar Virtual Tours. This partnership enables her to offer technology which is the perfect solution for anyone trying to sell anything via the web and is not limited to real estate tours. Larimar Virtual Tours can customize the look and feel of her tours to create a professional grade virtual tour of any type of property or item including but not limited to:

As a freelance photographer with Larimar Images, she grew her business to include LinkedIn Profile headshots, business portraits, event photography, pet photography, architectural photography, on-location photography, and more.
Now to the oops! In 2008, Lori gave me an image she shot at the whitewater course during Midwest Freestyle Championships. But what an image it was! Unfortunately, in the flurry of putting Wausau Whitewater 2009, I lost track of the fact that it was her image. I work with many great photographers that I can talk about in a later post, but today’s post is about Lori. The image above creates the drama on the front cover of Wausau Whitewater 2009 (the promotional book that I create for Wausau Whitewater annually). I asked Lori if she had seen the 2009 book and she said, “that’s my photo!” OOPS! Big lesson to make sure I track whose shots I am using. I list our photographers in the book but I didn’t list Lori because I didn’t know it was her shot.
This is my oops post to give Lori credit and it really is a great shot of Doug Jackson, whose claim to fame is paddling without a paddle. The lesson learned is that I have to give credit to the talented photographers supply amazing images to Wausau Whitewater. Thank you all, but special thanks today to Lori!
A photo credit is nice. It puts the photographer’s name out there. we like recognition.
Thanks Julie!
I know, I just have to develop consistent ways, especially in print to track and then correlate the names with the photos.
You’re welcome! I look forward to our session when you take my new headshot!
