Hiring a photographer...in McMinnville?

Author: Maggie Washo

I had another…“Wow the internet is so amazing!” moment today.

In preparing for a future feature on a winemaker in Oregon, I found the need to get a professional shot of him – and he is not here. He is in Oregon. Being the involved editor that I am, I usually like to attend such photo shoots but with the economy in such a crunch I figure it’s best not to use the private jet to fly out there with one of our fabulous photographers.

Anyhoo! After quickly googling “photographers in McMinnville, OR” I had a list of several, had checked out their websites, and had two on the phone. I can’t even begin to think about how long that process would have taken 20 years ago.

Wow. The internet is so amazing. I’m a big fan.

I too am amazed by the internet. And thankful that people like Maggie can find me all the way in McMinnville. Thanks again! Dale

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
