Highlights from a recent creative portrait studio session with Adam at Em En Art House in South Bend, Indiana.

I am still reveling in the many hours I spent in the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art at Notre Dame throughout its opening weekend in December. For three days, I photographed a myriad of events in the new building, and I witnessed many eyes and hearts being impacted by the art within.

As I work through a commercial photo project, I constantly think about the composition and the details within the frame as I look for moments. I worked with wicked reflections, safety glasses, and finicky light in this manufacturing space to create some storytelling imagery.

In the fall, I helped build a catalog of storytelling images that showcase the student experience at a higher education institution.

A two-light setup was essential for this image that landed on the cover of the Northwest Indiana Business Magazine this month.

Showcasing this pulled pork sandwich involved creating a motion gif and hero images of a rather stunning sandwich in the studio.

For Aeris Surgical, I utilized haze, gelled lights, and an industrial environment to create their modern corporate headshots.

Product photography requires attention to detail, quality/consistent light, and a clear understanding of the use of the images. I worked with a long-time client and friend at Freer's Corner, a boutique candle company that makes beeswax candles.

It was a year of change and growth. From a solo gallery to travel articles, the work allowed me to showcase my photographic style and expand into new areas and develop new relationships. Take a look at some of my favorite images from 2022.

A few images from a silent disco were a part of Notre Dame’s annual Year in Pictures photo gallery.

Showcasing your school’s story is essential for cultivating the brand and message of campus life. The photographs that support the text are key to a social media post, a news update, or an email. Take a look at a few locations my images have been used by high schools and higher ed. institutions.
