FOGO DE CHAO CONFERENCE // DALLAS

Conference photography is an excellent way to remember specific moments at the event, but conference recap videography is the best way to showcase the intentionality and really share the spirit of the event itself. Imagine seeing your emotions and in-the-moment reactions to awards and keynote speakers played on the big screen, in-person. Those are the core memories your team and attendees take with them after the conference ends, and what most clients in the past have said was the most rewarding part of the experience.

INK AND HAMMER PORTRAITS // DAYTON

This was my first ever “day in the life of” branding session. Let me set the scene…it’s 2013 in a city I had never spent time it. I am pretty sure I wandered into their shop our of sheer curiosity and said hey I would love to spend the day with you all and snap a few photos of you all just BEING together. You seem cool. Anytime I’ve done that I never regret my decision. Trust your gut and talk to people. My time with the crew over at Ink and Hammer Manufacturing Company in Dayton really left me wanting more. MORE of small businesses getting their hands dirty.

PELOTON ERG SUMMIT // NYC

Employee Resource Groups are an excellent way to start building out your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.

SCIENTIFIC GLOBAL HEADSHOTS // NYC

My incredible team took the reins on this project as I sorted through losing my home & studio in a flash flood in Dallas. 2022 was a bit of a blur filled with unexpected changes, but I feel incredibly lucky to have such talented photographers who I can trust implicitly to capture genuine smiles and moments. I truly love how these headshots turned out for Scientific Global in New York City.

MENUMASTERS 2022 // CHICAGO

Listen, when I say I was excited for this event, I mean I was entirely unable to focus on anything else the week leading up to it. I worked in the Service industry for many years as a server and bartender, so this was my own special kind of nerd out. I was always fascinated by the marketing science behind many of the menu, décor, and music decisions, but I never imagined there were entire events dedicated to the details. It makes sense that there are organizations that honor industry leaders in various categories, but it’s not something I was ever privy to even as a manager. Turns out, I was just the wrong kind of manager!

GENDER AFFIRMING SURGEON DALLAS

I like to think of myself as a collector of connections. It’s an accurate way to describe the joy I get from meeting new people, and it’s a lot less threatening than saying I’m a “collector of people.” Win/win, right? There’s just something about feeling the spark of something new and exciting the first few minutes after an introduction, and it was especially strong with Dany. He and his family had met me at a local coffeehouse to talk through some photography possibilities, and his passion for his work and the people he serves was evident within the first few minutes of conversation.

WOMEN BUSINESS LEADERS CONFERENCE

Empowering one another as we work towards a more inclusive culture is the bread and butter of Steph Grant Studios, so it’s no surprise that our immediate response when Lauren asked us to capture their annual summit again was, "YES!" The cherry on top this time around was getting to know each member of the leadership team prior to the summit during their Executive Portraits and then spending some one-on-one time with most of the attendees during their headshots.

NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON // SAN FRANCISCO

Most of you are aware of my love for storytelling. The purpose of me photographing Nike Women’s Marathon was to capture reactions. To deliver images that had emotion. This is the first year that Nike was implementing jumbotrons into the marathons in the United States. These jumbotrons would be synced with the timing mats that each runner would cross over along their race. The timing mat would register their RFID chip in their bib and trigger the jumbtron to display a personalize encouraging message. Can you imagine after having no energy and feeling like you want to give up…you’re at mile 21 and your name pops up?
