Branding & Events

Your business deserves more than stock photos.

Whether you’re running a small business, launching something new, or hosting an event you’ve poured your heart into, you deserve images that actually feel like you.

The real energy. The real people. The real moments.

With more than 20 years of experience — including years as a photojournalist — I approach branding and events with a storyteller’s eye and a calm, unobtrusive presence. I’ll capture both the polished and the in-between: the confident headshots, the behind-the-scenes laughs, the big moments on stage, and the tiny details you didn’t even realize were happening.

Branding

Photos that feel like your brand — not a stock photo.

You’ve worked hard to build something personal and unique. Your photos should reflect that.

From clean, confident headshots to fully styled, on-location shoots, branding sessions are completely customized to what you and your business actually need.

That might mean:

  • updated headshots for you or your team

  • lifestyle photos of you working

  • content for your website and social media

  • behind-the-scenes storytelling

  • detail shots of your space, products, or process

We’ll talk through your goals, your vibe, and your budget, then create a plan that fits.

No cookie-cutter packages. No awkward “corporate” energy. Just honest, professional images that help you show up confidently.

Because your business isn’t generic — your photos shouldn’t be either.

Events

Capture what it felt like to be there.

Events move fast. You blink and they’re over.

My job is to quietly step in and preserve the energy, the connections, the big moments and the tiny ones — all the pieces that make your event memorable.

From polar plunges to workshops, conferences to community celebrations, I blend into the background and document the story as it unfolds.

Real moments. Real people. Real atmosphere.

So long after the day is done, you still have something to hold onto.

What’s Included

Real stories. Real businesses. Real moments.

All branding and event sessions are tailored to your needs and include a gallery of high-resolution, print-ready digital images to download and keep.

Need video too? I offer custom add-ons like highlight reels, interviews, and scroll-stopping social clips — perfect for websites, launches, and social media.

Custom quotes are provided based on your needs, timing, and scope — just reach out and we’ll build something that works for you.

Have something cooking? I’d love to hear about it. Let’s connect.
