It's all about the story

My clients are faced with one of life’s milestones – a wedding, graduation, anniversary, fundraiser, retirement, birthday, celebration, or diagnosis.

Initially, they’re looking for someone to help them ‘capture the moment,’ through photography or video. But together, we collaborated to document not only the moment but what lead up to the moment and ultimately, what the moment meant.

A photo an can capture a decisive moment. It can speak 'a thousand words.' It can beautifully summarize what it all looked like. Video will add to that - depth, sound and movement.
But what about the story behind the moment - all the work invested to get you here - and what does it mean for the future?
I'm here to help ask the right questions, listen for the best answers and capture the most important 'thousand words' with photography, cinematography and yes, words.

There's more to a moment -

than the moment.

Other Types of Stories

Senior Stories

There is so much more to a high school senior than what they look like

It's not easy to watch them leave home after so many years at the center of your life. And taking 'senior photos' is a right of passage. But after taking hundreds of senior photos over the years (to include my own son) , I know that there are details - fears, ambitions, accomplishments, personality - that can never be captured in photographs.

Work with me to truly capture who this person is, the mark this young adult has made and their dreams for the future.

Family/Legacy

Let's capture and celebrate life before it's too late

When my grandmother turned 90, she didn't want to attend the 'celebration of her life' from her casket, so we created a video history of her life - her adventures, her family, her impact and she sat front and center while 100+ people watched and honored her life.

That moment profoundly changed me.

Let's gather old photos, video and stories and add create a narrative with film, words and photos, that capture that special someone and all they've accomplished.

Or let's take the 'family photo' at a whole new level with photos, video and interviews and truly capture who your family is, not just what they look like.

Event/business/non-profit

There is more to your event or your business than what photos or a promotional video can capture

"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." - Simon Sinek

Let's work together to combine photography, video and the story about what you do and why you do it, so that your fans can rally behind you and support what you do.

Let's capture and celebrate all the hard work that goes into what you do, so that your true meaning can shine through the products or services you provide.

Get In Touch

Please call or email so that we can talk about your story and how we can tell it in a way that will resonate with your audience. Let's not just do this for the sake of taking photos or making a video.

If you already have a photographer for your wedding, let's talk about how we can work together to tell your story (I love collaborating with other artists).

If you like my photography but this isn't quite what you were looking for, let me help you find someone local who I would highly recommend. Better yet, call me to discuss how we can work what I do into your budget and vision.
