Kip Dawkins

Photographer

Richmond, VA

Kip is a seasoned photographer and technophile, always in search of the perfect light. His first paid gig was photographing punk rock bands. He liked capturing the chaos, lack of control and the instant it came together. Kip has continued to refine his craft in the controlled chaos of the photo set, specializing in luxury products, interior design, and hospitality. He had a lifelong dream of being the strong, silent type. When that failed, he honed his entertaining skills on set. His fun, yet smart, confident and collaborative approach has earned him the loyalty of his clients. Kip is based in Richmond, Virginia, but has an office in Los Angeles and travels extensively throughout the U.S. When Kip is not charging his camera batteries, he is recharging on a road bike, listening to music, or watching an F1 race.

Jenna Blough

Business Manager

Los Angeles, CA

Jenna works behind the scenes--handling booking, budgets, licensing, and project development. She earned an MFA in writing from California Institute of the Arts and then worked in a few different industries including hospitality, non-profit research, and travel writing. Her varied background makes her a valuable team player, bringing an interdisciplinary, problem-solving approach to the process. Eventually, she decided to combine her loves of creativity, organization (and spreadsheets!) and take on the role of business manager. Sometimes she skips out on the office to camp and road trip, continuing to write about her travels.
