ABOUT

I specialize in real life storytelling through still photography and video for independent schools, non-profits, and corporations. Curiosity, enthusiasm for creative collaboration, and an unobtrusive approach, allow me to convey what makes people and their institutions unique and show their full potential. After studying photojournalism at the University of Minnesota, I returned to the Philadelphia area, where I have worked in photography and video since 1996.

I'm an FAA Certified Drone Pilot, educated and trained to safely shoot video and stills with small unmanned aircraft.
