PASSION

I have a passion for capturing and sharing stories using still and moving images that help to shape a broader understanding of our shared humanity.

SELECTIVITY

When I commit to a project, I’m all in.  For that reason, I am very selective about the freelance projects I accept. I only take on those that align with my passion for creativity and commitment to integrity and intellectual honesty.

BENCH STRENGTH

Throughout my 10+ year career in strategic communications, I have worked closely with experts in every subspeciality within photography, videography, branding and marketing. As needed, I can bring-on specialists to fill gaps where I lack expertise.

ABOUT ME

I am a storyteller. I use photos, videos, and words to capture and share vivid details about people, places, and events that have been traditionally underrepresented in the marketplace of ideas about the American experience.  I believe the transformative power of art lies in its ability to open windows into the experiences of others, a requirement for empathy. While most of my projects are for personal fulfillment, I occasionally take on freelance projects that align with my values.

I began making pictures nearly 30-years ago as an undergraduate student while working part-time at a one-hour photo lab and photography studio. After completing graduate school, I ran a successful event videography business part-time for more than 10-years while working day jobs in public policy, community redevelopment, and data analysis. More than a decade ago, I shut down the event videography company to focus on my family and full-time job overseeing the production of TV commercials, digital media, and outdoor ads for a large national organization.  Since my kids are off to college, I am again free to pursue my passion for capturing and telling stories part-time.
