Still making introductions with an outdated photo?

A new job opportunity. Your speaking bio. Your company website, LinkedIn profile, billboard, email signatures, dating profile. Wherever you show up, let’s make sure your portrait reflects who you are today!

You need a current portrait and hesitate, even somewhat embarrassed, over the ones you have? It's outdated, cropped from a group photo, or it simply doesn't reflect how you want to be seen today? You've been meaning to update it, but finding the time, figuring out what to wear, and being in front of the camera causes you to keep pushing it down the list?

That's why we've created our Signature Headshot Event at Pam Long Photography. We’ll help you prepare, guide your posing and expression, and create portraits that introduce you with confidence, connection, and credibility. Friday, October 23rd!

Four session times remain. Let's create portraits you’re excited to share. Explore our experience here and connect with us: https://www.pamlongphotography.com/signature-headshot-event

Signature Headshot Event - Pam Long Photography

"Supporting their dreams has been the most rewarding part of my professional journey.” That’s how Su Joing reflects on the entrepreneurs and business owners she has had the privilege of serving throughout more than 25 years in banking.

And service is a thread that runs throughout Su's life. She joined the United States Air Force in 1995 before transitioning into banking, where she has spent much of her career helping entrepreneurs and local businesses secure financing. Her clients have ranged from companies manufacturing Reeses Peanut Butter Cup wrappers to businesses inspecting city sewer systems, which gives you an idea of the variety of people and businesses she had the opportunity to support.

Her commitment to community extends beyond her career. Su is involved with the Business Women's Network of Howard County and the Howard County Chamber of Commerce and is a graduate of Leadership Howard County's Premier Class of 2018.

One of the things I enjoyed most about getting to know Su better was discovering everything that exists beyond her résumé. She's an Air Force veteran, wife, mother, golfer, traveler, and longtime pageant competitor who has held 13 titles, including representing Nebraska at Miss USA in 2001.

There isn't one title that defines Su.

And at the heart of all those different chapters is her family. 💝

For her Forty over 40 Experience, we created beautiful studio portraits with her husband, Royce, and their daughters India and Ava, celebrating the family that is such an important part of the life she has built.

Her story is a wonderful reminder that our professional accomplishments may be an important part of who we become, but they are never the whole person.

Su has built a life around service, family, community, curiosity, adventure, and plenty of fun along the way. I am so happy to feature her as one of this year’s Forty over 40 participants and celebrate the many sides of this accomplished woman.

Su, thank you for trusting me to create these portraits and for sharing so many wonderful pieces of your story. It was a joy getting to know you better and celebrating the beautiful family at the heart of it all. 💝

Every portrait begins with a story. What chapter of yours deserves to be celebrated? If you've been thinking about creating portraits for yourself, your family, or your professional life, let's start with a conversation.

I'm usually the one behind the camera, helping other people and businesses be seen and sharing their stories, so it feels both a little unusual (and quite honestly very uncomfortable), but also incredibly special to be on this side of a feature.💝

I’m grateful, and very proud, to have built and grown Pam Long Photography for nearly two decades, with almost 15 of those years here Historic Ellicott City. None of it was built alone, I’m so appreciative to the wonderful people who have worked alongside me through the years sharing their talents, caring for our clients, believing in the vision, and helping me bring it to life.💝

I'm incredibly grateful to the clients who have trusted us with their stories, milestones, families, brands, and legacies. You've given me the honor of helping you be seen and celebrated and 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞.💝

Thank you to the Ellicott City Partnership for taking the time to learn about the heart behind our business and for sharing it so beautifully.💝

"Reinvent yourself as many times as you want. "

Those words from Ann Bromery’s Forty Over 40 story tell you a lot about the woman I had the pleasure of getting to know better.

Growing up in a small New England town, the path others imagined for her was familiar, predictable, and comfortable. Her journey carried her far beyond that town it into a more suburban and cosmopolitan world. She became a wife, mother, executive, entrepreneur, investor, and a lifelong learner who continued following opportunities that challenged her.

By 40, she was Chief Financial Officer. At the same time, she built a real estate business, spending more than two decades buying, rehabilitating, and renting properties. She's trained in Krav Maga, loves refurbishing furniture, has a passion for construction projects, and has never stopped listening to that little voice that says:

“Try."

When she had children, many assumed that her professional ambitions would slow down. Instead, her daughters inspired her to think creatively, take risks, and pursue opportunities.

During Ann's Design Consultation, I quickly realized her portraits couldn't fit and neatly into one definition of who she is, because Ann doesn't either. And that was going to make this experience incredibly special.

We coordinated with her daughter Grace, who came from North Carolina to share in the experience, making an already meaningful day even more special. Ann also found beautiful, personal ways to honor her daughter Hannah throughout the experience.

We started in the studio with Mary beth’s makeup artistry, created portraits there, then headed to one of our local trails before finishing at The Collective Offshore and Encore, creating completely different looks that reflected the many sides of Ann.

One of my favorite passages from her story says: "You can be analytical and artistic, professional and adventurous, practical and bold." Ann is definitely living proof of that. She is a wonderful combination of intelligence, curiosity, strength, humor, and willingness to try something new.

And perhaps that's the message and story for all of us and especially the generations coming behind us:

"Your life doesn't have to look like anyone else's idea of what it should be.”

Trust your instincts. Take the chance. And be willing to surprise yourself.

Thank you, Ann. What an absolute joy was creating these with you and getting to know you better.

There’s a quiet strength about Angie that becomes evident the more you get to know her. It’s beautifully reflected in these words she shared with me, "I approach each day with passion and purpose."

After a successful career in marketing and communications, a Stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis changed the direction of Angie's life. Through her own healing journey, she discovered a new purpose. Today, she's a certified health coach helping women prioritize their health so they can become the strongest, healthiest versions of themselves.

When planning Angie's portrait experience, we wanted every image to reflect not only what she does, but who she is. Her kitchen became the backdrop because she believes healthy living begins at home, and that lasting habits are often built together as a family. Lake Elkhorn reflected the movement, gratitude, and time outdoors that are part of her everyday life. We finished in the studio, creating timeless portraits that convey the confidence, warmth, and professionalism her clients experience when they meet her.

One of the things I admire most about Angie is that she doesn't simply encourage healthy living, she LIVES it. Her personal values and professional mission are beautifully intertwined, and it was an honor to help tell a small part of her story.

Every portrait begins with a story.
Thank you, Angie, for trusting me with yours. 💝

The flood revealed the character of this community, and it taught us that 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭.

It includes every person who donated money, supplies, time, talent, blood, sweat, and tears. The children who held lemonade stands. The companies and organizations that organized fundraisers. The volunteers who showed up with shovels in hand. The people who wrote notes of encouragement. Leaders who organized donation drives for cleaning supplies to snacks. The businesses that provided meals and drinks for volunteers, residents, and business owners. The dedicated employees in our county offices who held our hands while giving us guidance, encouragement, and hope. Our local, state, and federal leaders, working together under the leadership of then County Executive Allan Kittleman.

And every person who understands that supporting local isn't just about where we shop or dine. It's also about who we hire, recommend, and trust with our families, our businesses, and our lives.

The flood revealed the strength of our commUNITY. The years since have proven it wasn’t temporary, it was who we have always been.

THANK YOU for continuing to support local businesses.

I’m thankful and grateful that you are part of this extraordinary commUNITY. 💝

Ten years after the 2016 flood ravaged Howard County’s Ellicott City, shop owners on Main Street still remember the tragedy that swept through the town.

07/28/2026

The floods are part of our history. The people are our legacy.

As we mark the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 flood this week, I encourage you to take 30 minutes to watch Ellicott City: Rising Above.

My heartfelt thanks to Megan Knight and Blair Sabol of WMAR-2 News Baltimore for telling our story with such care and for shining a light on the resilience, hope, and heart of this extraordinary commUNITY. While time allows us to rebuild our businesses and recover financially, my thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of those whose lives were lost. Buildings and businesses can be restored. Lives cannot. They will never be forgotten.

This special also serves as a tribute to small business owners everywhere. Behind every storefront is someone who has invested their savings, their dreams, countless hours, and often their family's future into creating something meaningful. Small businesses don't just occupy buildings, they help shape the character of a community, create places where memories are made, and remind us that resilience is built one day, one person, one act of hope at a time. Thank you to Dave - The W**e Bin and Vesper at Pike & Main, Tammy - Sweet Elizabeth Jane, Jason - All Time Toys, and Mark - The Phoenix Emporium for sharing your experiences and reminding everyone why it’s so important to support local businesses.

Nestled along the banks of the Patapsco River, Ellicott City is one...
