Overview

I am passionate about capturing authentic, real moments. Incredible moments happen in an instant, when captured they are treasured forever. I am as excited to see you Share, Celebrate and Remember them with those you cherish in your life.​​​​​​​

Life moves quickly, people always seem to be busy, yet a moment captured halts all and the emotions and feelings, even the laughter happens all over, Life is about the memories with great smiles.

Events bring people, ideas, business, concepts, closer into alignment. When people come to an event, sit at a big round table, share food, thoughts and stories, everyone learns, they become elevated at some level and inspired to do more.

Considerate, Funny, Professional!

William has been incredible to work with! Not only does he have a great talent for event photography, he also brings out the best in people, so you and your personality shine through the photos. My husband and I were both very comfortable, and neither of us like taking pictures, so that says a lot about how great William is! We plan on hiring William for as many gigs as we need in the future.

Wedding Day

William is 100% a professional. He is a dear friend of mine, yet also understands when he needs to see his friends as “clients.” He is fantastic at giving what the client wants and going above and beyond to make sure your photos come out as perfect as they can. I highly recommend booking him!

What to expect

Expectation and Experience is everything when choosing a Photographer. Having worked in many environments from Private Parties to Very Large Corporate Events, Professionalism combined with Personality and Amazing Imagery, Opens the doors for many opportunities.

Your Experience in Booking me starts with a text introduction on this site. In the introduction I ask clarifying questions about what your request, the purpose of the images, and additional details that perhaps were left out. My goal, with you, is to get on the phone as fast as we can, to discuss and start planning the details that are important to you for your event.

I capture events form a very editorial perspective. Capturing moments that we have spoken about that are important to you. I capture images that have a true to life color, removing only blemishes, sometimes distracting objects. Each image delivered has been edited personally, not through AI.

-- SPECIFICS TO VARIOUS TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY --
EVENT PLANNERS - Your vision is important. I work with you to make sure all Vendors have a few shots to make sure they have content and you as well. So if there are Teams, Products or details, we can capture them.

HEADSHOTS - Details are everything, lighting, color, shadows... You are on Display and these photos are important to represent who you are. A New or Updates Corporate Headshot, for Social Media, for Dating, for a Job Resume. I make sure you look like you just came back from a well rested vacation.

ELOPEMENT / ENGAGEMENT - Your story is important, as are the details. Let's talk about how to make you capture you at your best for the location and time of day as well as the people involved. Let's capture your heartfelt story.

About

I started with film in 1987 in Black and White - Today I shoot on a very advance Camera System with many options for creative lighting. I started in Event Photography in 2015 and in 2018 and 2019 I was flown around the country for Corporate, Entrepreneur and Personal Development Events. Coming from an IT Background with a Masters Degree, I am always solving challenges, just in a new way with a creative eye now.

I am passionate about capturing authentic, real moments. Incredible moments happen in an instant, when captured they are treasured forever. I am as excited to see you Share, Celebrate and Remember them with those you cherish in your life.​​​​​​​

Life moves quickly, people always seem to be busy, yet a moment captured halts all and the emotions and feelings, even the laughter happens all over, Life is about the memories with great smiles.

Events bring people, ideas, business, concepts, closer into alignment. When people come to an event, sit at a big round table, share food, thoughts and stories, everyone learns, they become elevated at some level and inspired to do more.

I love connecting people at events, introducing speaker, influencers, entrepreneurs to one another. It brings me great joy to hear the stories of what transpired, the growth, the acceleration and profitability.

Influences and inspiration

I am inspired by Classic Photography, True to Life colors, Life Events and most importantly candid moments of emotions. As I stepped into Wedding Photography a few years ago I saw moments that inspired me as to what life truly represents for important moments. Being a trusted member of the family for a day or two in order to capture the moments that pass quickly, yet hold significant value. In Event and especially in Corporate Events, I have been Blessed to meet industry leaders, mentors, trainors, coaches and more that have all left seeds of growth upon my life. Many pieces of wisdom and knowledge that I was able to share with others, thus increasing my relationship capital and becoming a trusted resources. There are opportunities everywhere and now, I embrace them.

Setup requirements

Headshot Station for Teams or individuals, I would require a 15' x 25' space, and additional $300 for on site makeup person, and access to electrical outlets.
