Conventions and fundraisers move fast and do not repeat. I work the room: candid moments, speaker stages, exhibit floors, crowd energy. I know when to step back and when to get close. Same-day selects are available for social posts before the event wraps.

Best fit for organizers who need coverage that holds up beyond the event itself: donor reports, press releases, next yearu2019s promo materials. C2E2 experience covering cosplayers and celebrity talent on a large convention floor.

I lean toward natural light when the location and time of day allow it. When they do not, I build the light. Either way, the goal is a portrait that looks like the person, not like a portrait sitting. Graduation, editorial headshots, and family sessions all follow the same principle: less direction, more conversation.

Good fit for individuals and families who want images that feel lived-in rather than staged. I am based in the Chicago area and willing to travel for the right location.

The challenge with roster shoots is not any one individual frame. It is consistency across 35 people photographed over two shifts, two different lighting setups, different uniforms. I build a repeatable lighting approach before the first subject walks in and I do not change it. Every portrait in the set matches.

This is a good fit for fire departments, police departments, municipal offices, and corporate teams that need a cohesive set fast. I have worked through departments of 11 to 35 across single and multi-shift schedules without disrupting operations.
