There’s something special—almost electric—about stepping into a business where legacy isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life.

That’s exactly what I felt the moment I connected with Riley Tomeny Myers to create headshots and a full team portrait for the incredible crew at Tomeny Best Injury Lawyers.

From the start, Riley had a vision: something authentic, something environmental—something that truly captured the spirit of their office. And if you know me, you know I live for that kind of creative challenge.

We began in a stunning executive boardroom—ornate, bold, and undeniably beautiful. The kind of space that makes a statement the second you walk in. But there was a twist: it was so visually rich, it risked overpowering the very people we were there to highlight.

So I pivoted.

With Riley’s full trust and creative freedom, I explored the space, chasing light, texture, and energy—until we landed on a backdrop that felt effortless, powerful, and uniquely them. The kind of setup you can’t plan… only discover.

And yes—every great office has its personality. In this case? An office pup who (whether they volunteered or not 😄) absolutely earned their moment in front of the camera.

But what truly sets this experience apart wasn’t the lighting, the composition, or even the final images.

It was the people.

Even as one of the leading injury law firms in Baton Rouge—and across Louisiana—the heart of this team is unmistakably rooted in family. You can feel it in the way Riley and Frank lead. You can see it in how the team shows up for one another. And you can’t miss it in how they welcomed me—like I’d been part of their story all along.
