Policy. People. Purpose.
Previously worked for:
If you’re responsible for an event, then you already know how much is riding on the photos. They’re what you send to leadership, what goes in the annual report, and what lives on the website long after the event is over. I’ve spent a decade in Washington, D.C., photographing events for organizations where reputation matters, including NASA, the World Bank, and National Geographic. I understand what it means when the photographs I deliver will end up in front of boards, donors, the press, and the public. I photograph conferences, corporate events, galas, meetings, receptions, and institutional events throughout DC.
If you want your event photographed with that same level of precision and care, let’s talk.
An event is one of the few times your people, your audience, and your brand all exist in the same place. I look for ways to incorporate signage, activations, and branded details naturally into the photographs so the finished gallery doesn't just show that an event happened—it shows whose event it was.
Some of the best photographs happen off the schedule. I’m constantly watching for genuine expressions and interactions that show what it actually felt like to be in the room. I don’t want to simply document who attended; I want to create photographs that make the event look as engaging as it felt.
A speaker’s photographs should convey more than who was standing at a microphone. I watch for natural expressions and hand gestures while paying close attention to flattering angles and lighting. The result is imagery that makes speakers look confident, engaged, and worth listening to.
Events can also be an ideal opportunity to update professional headshots. I can bring a complete lighting and backdrop setup directly to the venue and efficiently photograph individuals or large groups without sending everyone to a separate studio. For high-volume events, I can photograph each person in as little as 60–90 seconds while maintaining consistent lighting, framing, and a polished final result. Here's a high-volume gallery I delivered to a client.
DC is where I built my career as a photographer. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in congressional offices, museums, embassies, government buildings, hotel ballrooms, conference centers, and just about every kind of event space in between. That experience has taught me that being a good photographer in this city requires more than knowing how to make a beautiful image—it requires knowing how to read a room, adapt quickly, and understand when discretion matters.
I’ve spent that decade developing the ability to create beautiful light, the intuition to anticipate moments before they happen, and the experience to make the most of any environment.
I show up to every event like it’s the most important thing I’ll photograph all year—because for my clients, it usually is.
Every gallery is professionally edited, organized, and delivered through a private online gallery, making it easy to download, share, and put the finished photographs to work.
