#1   Baltimore magazine "Pet Lover's Guide" Read the full article and see photos here: https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/homegarden/baltimore-pet-lovers-guide/ I've wanted to shoot a story for Baltimore Magazine since I started my photography career full time in 2019. In late spring, I got asked to photograph a pet feature for an upcoming summer issue. Guys, dreams do come true. Thank you to Amy who let me meet and photograph her baguette and croissant loving German S

#2   McClain Wiesand for BmoreArt magazine #2 McLain Weisand, BmoreArt Magazine This BmoreArt shoot granted me access to meet the esteemed David Weisand, a Baltimore artist and furniture maker and genuinely wonderful human being. Amongst treasures of his own at his store in Mt. Vernon, I got to photograph his twisting and turning store jutting and oozing and dripping with the most bizarre and eclectic treasures and take portraits of him along the way. Icing on the cake: a ph

#3  Nora Howell's art exhibit Now You See Me, Now You ...at Gallery CA Getting to meet artists of all types in Baltimore is one of the coolest perks of about living here amongst so many other creatives. After photographing Katie’s @katiepumphreyart art show at Creative Alliance, she recommended me to Nora Howell @norahowellart to document her art show “Now You See Me, Now You…” at Gallery CA @galleryca Nora creates sculptures out of porcelain, rope, ribbons, yarn, and other m

#4  Cedar Coaching w/ Cassie O'Malley #4 Cedar Coaching w/ Cassie O'Malley I met Cassie last year for a branding shoot when she was working as a nurse and Director of Nurse Wellbeing for MedStar Health. One year later and she's now re-innovated how she wants to heal people. She launched Cedar Coaching, a comprehensive breath work and sound healing studio, with a focus on women. Since her practice is all about healing holistically and guiding people back toward their soul and

#5  Asmara from @AsmaraTV on YouTube Asmara - where to begin. She's a girl gamer with a hugely popular YouTube channel that's changing how people view girls who game. I met Asmara at a YouTube Makers community event I covered in DC late 2024 featuring goat yoga (definitely a favorite shoot that year!).  We chatted a bit and I liked her vibe… A few months later I got a call to see if I could do her branding shoot. She wanted sophisticated, feminine, bold, colorful, stylish an

#6  Opera Series at Cinghiale for BmoreArt Magazine *Note: The photos just went live in the digital BmoreArt   edition so you can check out the full story with Cara Ober's illustrative essay write there too. When Cara Ober , ed-in-chief of BmoreArt  magazine texted me to see if I could join her for a night of enjoying and photographing opera for a BmoreArt feature, of course I said yes. After a flute of champagne we hurried to a cute little corner table for two. Between bit

#5 To the Table Supper Series at The Margaret Cleveland One majestic October evening I got to cover a To The Table garden party at the most-loved shopping Baltimore space, the acre-wide shopping experience The Margaret Cleveland.   The TTT “supper series” are exquisitely designed and orchestrated events all about encouraging communities to know their local farmer, understand where their food comes from, and nourish themselves and their loved ones with fresh, locally sourced

#8 Lindsay Smith Rogers Branding Portraits I got a juicy text from Lindsay @lindsaysmithrogers mid-summer asking me if I could fit her in for a brand portrait shoot. The text was plump and juicy for a few reasons. It meant I got to 1) see her, 2) check out her new Canton home, 3) shriek with delight at seeing how much her baby boy had grown, 4) spot and at least attempt to pet her two precious kitty cats, and 5) take a set of art-forward portraits of my super smart and tal

#9  Making Her Mark Foundation Launch Party When Ruut DeMeo  and I met at Atwater's for coffee in July I came in hot, rushed and possibly un-deodorized from my car. When I sat down with her I immediately felt…there must be a Japanese or Icelandic word for this…a sudden rush of calm and purpose. Ruut, the founder of the Making Her Mark Foundation , is an artist who supports --financially, spiritually and emotionally--fellow women artists. She's driven and it's palpable. She

#10   Katie Pumphrey's Art Exhibit "SWIMMING POOL" at Creative Alliance When Katie @katiepumphreyart asked me to photograph her paintings at her @creativealliancebaltimore art show this summer, I was smitten. This gal is so talented and an absolute hoot to be around. She's an ultra-marathon swimmer and a painter of humongous paintings that make you rethink your relationship with water and what stories unfold below, and above, the horizon line. She dazzles you with her color a

Alex Hulett @ alex.hulett.photo In March 2025 I started a project taking portraits of fired federal workers. I've never shared the photos. I explain more in my blog (link in bio) but today I'm sharing them. I'm collaborating with Alex on this post so she can share updates. Given the now month-long government shut down, it seems appropriate that I finally share these portraits and the stories along with them.
