What’s it like working with me?
I’ve been there: experienced working in corporate, small business, and non-profit environments as an employee and leader, I’ve always been comfortable in offices, with executives, in art studios, with kids, within communities. I’ll blend right in so you can stay present, but will step up and call the shots if the moment calls for it (group and family pictures anyone?). You will ABSOLUTELY catch me on the dance floor dancing alongside you.
I’m all about capturing the real, in-between moments - the ones that happen when no one’s looking but say everything about the energy of your event. And don’t worry about photo limits; if it’s part of your story, I’m getting it. I’ll catch you mid-laugh, mid-hug, mid-chaos: the good stuff.
