ABOUT

I specialize in real life storytelling through still photography and video for independent schools, non-profits, and corporations- US and international. 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 for the last 25 years.

As of Spring 2021, I am an FAA Licensed Drone Pilot, educated and trained to legally and safely shoot video and stills with small unmanned aircraft. Now the potential for an aerial perspective comes with every shoot.
