At Maven Photo + Film, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. So, you can imagine how honored and grateful we are to be included in the 2025 CEP Relocation Guide—a publication that beautifully captures the spirit, people, and places that make Marion County a one-of-a-kind place to live and work.
Even more exciting? Our own Dave Miller has two full spreads of nature photography featured in the guide, right alongside Marion County legends Mark Emery and Mark J. Barrett. These photographers have helped shape the visual story of our area for decades, and to be featured in the same pages as them is a milestone we don’t take lightly.
A Closer Look at the Feature
The 2025 CEP (Chamber & Economic Partnership) Relocation Guide is more than just a directory—it’s a celebration of everything that makes our community shine. From breathtaking natural springs and historic downtowns to thriving industries and small-town charm, it gives newcomers and long-time locals alike a glimpse into the soul of Marion County.
In this year’s issue, you’ll find Maven photos sprinkled throughout the guide, each one helping to tell the story of the place we’re lucky to call home. But the true highlight for us is seeing Dave Miller’s nature photography showcased in full glory—accompanied by the stories behind each image. Whether it’s the soft golden light over Silver Springs or the peaceful stillness of the Ocala National Forest, Dave’s images invite readers to pause, appreciate, and fall in love with Florida’s natural beauty.
We’re sharing the spreads here on our blog and social media, but we highly encourage you to check out the entire guide. It’s available to view online via this link, or you can head to our Instagram bio and click through there.
Why It Matters
Being featured in this guide isn’t just about recognition—it’s about being part of a shared mission. We believe in capturing more than just images; we believe in capturing belonging. And this publication is a love letter to all the things that make Marion County feel like home.
For our team, especially Dave, this feature is a reminder of why we do what we do. It’s a chance to slow down and remember that great storytelling isn’t always flashy or loud—it’s honest, intentional, and deeply rooted in place.
