Founder & President
Eric founded P-Tn in 1973, establishing our ‘niche’ in Visual Documentation for the A-E-C architecture, engineering, & construction industries, plus commercial real estate. Travis & Tim handle all the ‘heavy-lifting’ on a day-to-day basis, Eric oversees operations and business development, and is presently lead photographer for architectural interior & exterior marketing photography, web services, or video production assignments. Our home base is in the Kansas City Metro, but we work throughout the Central Midwest – and beyond – whenever & wherever we’re needed. Contact either Eric, Travis, or Tim and feel free to discuss any of the PHOTO / DIGITAL / VIDEO Visual Documentation services listed on our SERVICES PAGE!

PROFESSIONAL STAFF
ANGELA EPPERSON
Angela was once our wedding shooter (we don’t handle weddings anymore – sorry) and our Office Manager, too! After a long stint working for construction companies … we are pleased she has returned to P-Tn!
She will now be managing our administrative and office operations to help improve our shooting staff’s effectiveness in-the-field.
You will likely be hearing from Angela regarding our formal bidding process, home or structure inspections, billing-bookkeeping issues, and more.
She will also be assisting with our own Social Media & marketing campaigns, our own P-Tn.com website look & content, plus other marketing activities and web development & web maintenance service for clients.
KATHLEEN BERNDT
Kathleen and (Company Founder) Eric are owner-partners of P-Tn, so she has been involved with the business since its humble beginnings (she is Eric’s wife and the Mother of their six children!). Kathleen handled virtually all production of photo and construction documentation assignments for many, many years. Currently, she is responsible for general financial and bookkeeping oversight along with selected office management activities.
Kathleen is P-Tn Executive Vice-President.
GARRETT LOVELL
Garrett is going to be assisting with field shooting at a significant level, both still photos and video, as we find ourselves adding more projects each year. He will also provide much needed production assistance with incorporating our field work into our LINKINGapp All Digital deliverable for clients.
WILL KNIGHT
Will is focused on handling much of our Web Development work as we expand that service for new clients, as well as our own site. He will also also coordinate our social media campaign and eNEWS Client Newsletter & BLOG, plus creative editing of video footage for marketing (our’s and client’s).
TERRY BROWN
Terry has been assisting now for some time with our frequent posting of social media articles to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, and now YouTube, keeping our posts up-to-date with fresh content about our activities. Our e-NEWS plus+ BLOG article features are posted by him, too. He also provides first-level technical assistance for our Web Development activities right here on P-Tn.com, as well as the client websites that we are designing or maintaining.
DEREK COLLINS
Previously one of our regular staff helping us as a Field Photo/Video Shooter & Production Associate, Derek also freelances “out-of-house” to crisscross the USA on unique photo/video projects for his own client base … unique assignments like possible interaction with a volcano in Brazil, or auto-touring across Canada or the continental United States in an EV? Yes – it’s TRUE.
Derek does return periodically to assist us with field shooting assignments, video shooting and editing, and other post-production work.
... AND THERE ARE OTHER TALENTED PEOPLE!
We have developed a relationship with a small network of talented people with whom we collaborate to assist our clients with web design by building new sites and providing TLC for ‘old’ sites that need updating and new content. We support clients with monthly site monitoring & maintenance, to keep them up-to-date with functionality, as well as photos and videos. Social Media creation and posting or basic SEO management are other ways we help our clients find the right professional talent and support they need.
We also work with a select network of photographers, drone pilots, and other professionals who may be located throughout the Midwest (and sometimes beyond). This team assists our 50-year long list of clients with an array of services that go beyond our PHOTO / VIDEO fundamentals to include …
…web development & maintenance, social media posting and other design services – or ProgressWEBCAM Remote Site-Monitoring Systems, Time-lapse Video creation & editing, as well as UAS-Drone AERIAL and other ground-based photographic or videography services, like recording Owner Training Sessions, when needed on remote out-of-town projects. We take the “pain” out of hiring remotely by selecting and vetting remote photographers, then reviewing imagery and handling final production (video editing / LINKINGapp assembly / printing & framing / etc.) right here in our Kansas City Metro Operations Office, situated in Overland Park, Kansas. We can deliver the quality work you’ve come to expect through P-Tn over the decades, and do it (almost) anywhere in the USA.
