ABOUT
Mike Barker – Photographer, Marketer, Proud New Mexican
Originally from Texas, I relocated to Ruidoso in February 2021 and instantly knew I was home. Since I was fortunate enough to bring my corporate “work from home” Austin marketing job with me, I continued my work as a creative designer and marketer in this new place I loved.
Things changed in early 2025 as layoffs spread throughout the company and after 30 years of working in corporate America, I found myself unemployed.
As it turned out, sometimes a kick out the door can be just what is needed to find one’s way. Not knowing what was next, I set out on a new path. I knew I needed to leverage my creative design and marketing skills, and had a strong desire to return to photography, which had led me to the design and marketing in the first place.
Wanting to do something other than chase profits, click-throughs, and multi-million-dollar marketing conversions, I searched for something more, and now seemed like the perfect time to pursue my passion. Not wanting to leave Ruidoso for another boardroom or cubicle in the city, I decided to start my own business, venturing back to my roots in photography, and Bear Foot Real Estate Media was born.
After 30 years spent directing, managing, and shooting marketing campaigns, I'm now ready to leverage my photography and videography skills to help you showcase your listings. We can talk marketing and how we might tweak your approach for better results, or I'm equally as happy to be your dependable photographer, videographer, or media resource.
So, how can my talents and experience help you showcase your properties in our hometown? Reach out now and let me know what you need and how I can help.
Thanks!
