I call this one ‘Escaping Cubicle Life.’ - Of all the things corporate America taught me, the most important was that it could’t tame me. This office suits me better. #brandyshearer - “On Set” with #paoloferrarisphotography captured while taking PNW photos for #BridgePortBrewing 💔 . . . . . . . . #paintedhillsoregon #alorconsulting #optoutside #hiking #pnwonderland #pnwviews #pnwisbest #pdxfoodie #hikingbeer #upperleftusa #theoutbound #greatnorthcollective #optoutside #letsgoplaces #likeamountaingirl #womenontheroad #welivetoexplore #inspiremymind #inspiremyinstagram #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #traveloregon #blueskytravel #visittheusa
The word "Photography" comes from the Greek roots φωτός (phōtos) and γραφή (graphé.) It means "drawing with light." Today I'm in the mood for drawing with wine! #ALORconsulting #PaoloFerrarisPhotography #winemarketing #winebusiness #foodanddrink #hotelmarketing #hospitalitymarketing #resorts #foodphotography #luxuryresort #boutiquehotel #luxuryhotel #wine #copywriting #marchesidigresy #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #vancouverwaphotographer
Guess where the most romantic spot Paolo every took me was? ——— This winter, while in Tuscany (already a good start I know!) Paolo drove me up to the tiny hamlet of Pienza. He had not planned it but, there was a small exhibit in the main piazza for the 50th Anniversary of Franco Zeffirelli’s ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ I KNOW! Having loved the film since studying it in school, the music is etched on my heart. When I heard the familiar song, softly spilling into the piazza, I followed it through an open doorway. As my eyes adjusted from the brightness of the day, I realized I was standing in the exact spot where Romeo first lays eyes on Juliet. As the crescendo hit, this gal, started balling! 😭 Fat tears leapt off my face as I spun around looking for Paolo. I was overcome by the surprise of standing in the very location one of the most beautiful and romantic tributes to young love was ever filmed. A completely unplanned moment which made it totally romantic and one of my favorite travel memories of all times. Happy Valentine's Day to all the romantic hearts out there and to my Bello. #zeffirelli #PaoloFerraris #BrandyShearer #valentines_day #valentinesday2019 #ALORconsulting #ILikeItaly #Iloveitaly #cinema #60s #williamshakespeare #shakespeare #romeoandjuliet #luxury #travel #romanticstory #paoloferrarisphotography #italianwinelover #winecountry #winetravel #exploremore #landscapephotography #italylandscape #horizonphotography #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #FoodWineTravel #WineLife #Vino #WineLovers
Have you discovered Insta’s “hidden insights” yet? This week, we’re sharing a little swipe up Discovery that’s most useful for the small business owner using Instagram! I’m calling these “hidden insights” because finding them relies on an assumption of iPhone user behavior. An assumption I would argue is a bit faulty. First, these insights are only available to business accounts. If you do have a business profile and use analytics then: 1. Click any of your posts. 2. Click “View Insights” under the photo. 3. Once the panel of insights is revealed Swipe Up! - Simple yes! 😀 Useful, YES! 😃 Easy to find, debatable.🤔 Curious minds want to know, we’re you aware of these already? Each Monday, we’re sharing Instagram tips, tricks and tidbits we call #ALORtip We’d love to know if there are any features, restrictions that drive you bonkers or delight you. Comment below to help us pick our next topic! Happy Gramming! From yours truly @alorconsulting Today’s pic #PaoloFerrarisPhotography at White Sands National Park

So many bottles, never enough time! We toured @az.agr.sottimano the same month it was named one of the top 25 Producers of #Barbaresco in Forbes. Here’s the scoop! “About 2000 cases of supple, beautifully expressive Barbaresco are produced at this family estate in Neive, managed by Rino Sottimano and his children Andrea and Elena. While these are modern examples of Barbaresco, only a small percentage of the oak is new, so wood notes are well integrated. Highlights include cru bottlings from Currà, Cottà, Pajorè and Basarin, along with a riserva, a blend of fruit from Cottà and Pajorè from vines ranging from 45 to 75 years of age. Each Barbaresco here is made with great skill, and is very appealing in its youth.” — Tom Hyland @forbes While I lack the ability to give a high class description like that, I can say, I’ll never forget plunging my nose deep into a glass of Barbaresco in the #Sottimano tasting room at the vineyard. Learning about a wine at the source from the people who make it, is I believe the best way to commit a wine to memory. All senses are engaged at once. Nose and palate are enslaved to those memories. Our last post from Sottimano tomorrow is simple about the beauty of the bottle! #ilikeitaly #langheroero #langhe #paoloferrarisphotography #alorconsulting #italianwines #italianwinelover #ilikeitaly #piemonte #langhe #winelover #winecountry #winetravel #pdxfoodie #iloveitaly #landscapephotography #italylandscape #horizonphotography #italianalps #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #FoodWineTravel #FoodAndWine #DrinkLocal #WineLife #WineTasting #Winestagram #Vino #WineLovers
To me, proper wine cellars are among the most peaceful places on earth. Right up there with recording booths and empty swimming pools, I just love them. Stepping into a wine cellar, the air feels calm, cool, and settled. The only evidence of time passing is the slow growth of cellar mold. The true keeper of the wine. I know, overly romantic much! Somehow, I have a feeling other wine geeks completely get me though. Wine cellars are difficult to photograph. This is where an iPhone just won’t do. Thankfully to help cement the experience in my memory, Paolo capture these images during our cellar tour @az.agr.sottimano Tomorrow... the tasting photos! See yesterday’s post for photos of the #Sottimano Vineyard. #barbaresco #ilikeitaly #langheroero #langhe #paoloferrarisphotography #alorconsulting #italianwines #italianwinelover #ilikeitaly #piemonte #langhe #winelover #winecountry #winetravel #pdxfoodie #iloveitaly #landscapephotography #italylandscape #horizonphotography #italianalps #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #FoodWineTravel #FoodAndWine #DrinkLocal #WineLife #WineTasting #Winestagram #Vino #WineLovers
The cold snow in Portland gives me the red wine feels! So tonight I’ll be indulging in a #Barbaresco from #Sottimano which is where Paolo took this photo. I’m not going to lie, this makes me wish I was back in Italy. Touring #langhe #winecountry with Paolo’s parents. Oh I know, I know just how lucky I am! Me, born and raised in the Midwest, I now have a loving #ItalianFamily in addition to my American family. Luck hardly covers it, my cup running over thinking of them. Swipe to see the wine I’m having tonight and Paolo’s Mom & Dad. Tomorrow I’ll share photos from our cellar tour! For now, please excuse me while I open this bottle and let it breathe. #ilikeitaly #langheroero #langhe #paoloferrarisphotography #alorconsulting #italianwines #italianwinelover #ilikeitaly #piemonte #langhe #winelover #winecountry #winetravel #pdxfoodie #iloveitaly #landscapephotography #italylandscape #horizonphotography #italianalps #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #FoodWineTravel #FoodAndWine #DrinkLocal #WineLife #WineTasting #Winestagram #Vino #WineLovers
Notice your Insta likes dropping? You’re not alone. In 2018, Instagram followed Facebooks footsteps and changed their algorithms to focus on family & friends. - Where feeds used to be 50% friend posts, now it’s closer 90%. Sounds great right?! Not for businesses/influencers trying to get in front of people through Instagram. - About 8 months ago Instagram opened up about their Algorithms to a small group of reporters. Here are the top three things effecting their content ranking algorithms: 1. Interest: Machine learning tracks what you engage with and gives you more of it. 2. Recency: To see this one in action, use a hashtag with around 1K uses. Check that hashtags ‘Top Posts’ 5 minutes after posting. Chances are good your post will be there. Then check it the next day. If your post did well (has high engagement), it stays at the Top. If not, it gets buried. 3. Relationship: With a background of comments and replies, the machines assume accounts “know” each other and ranks posts higher accordingly. - In other words, engagement now matters more then how often you’re posting, not just on Facebook but on Instagram too. - To reach an audience on social, businesses either need to opt for a paid strategy or spend time building a community for their brand. - For smaller brands or businesses that do not sell directly online, we recommend getting to know your followers, and building a community on social. Why, because the feeling of ‘belonging’ is one of the five emotions that triggers action related to purchases and you CAN create a feeling of belonging on social. Focus on engagement before you set sights on high follower counts. To do that, remember there are people behind those accounts! Take the time to read and meaningfully comment on not just your post comments but your follower’s posts. Take notes and remember what they like, then mention it back to them in later posts and comments. Create content that’s about your followers, not just what you want from them. If you build it, sales will grow. - Happy Gramming! From yours truly @alorconsulting #ALORTip (3) Today’s pic #PaoloFerrarisPhotography at White Sands National Park
