What would my return to blogging be without an affiliate plug? Don’t worry, it’s good. Introducing Papershoot! Papershoot is a neat little digital camera whose mission is to cut down on plastic parts and have sustainable packaging – wood or paper. The photos look like film for those of you into the vibe. This camera…
“Quiet, the babies are sleeping!” That’s what my mom always said when my brother and sister were babies, back in 2004, when I had my friends over. It ended up being ingrained in our heads, even fifteen years later. My best friend that I have known since high school recently had her first baby. Time…
It’s no secret that I LOVE photographing the Pride parade. It’s just something about everyone feelin’ themselves and looking beautiful while being who they want to be. This was my fifth year in a row photographing the Baltimore Pride Parade, except I did it a little different this year. You can see previous years here,…
Welcome back to my blog. I’m really excited to share this photo shoot with you guys because it’s the collaboration of thirteen people and their creative skill. That’s hard to do when it’s a TFP shoot, so I am so impressed that everyone came together for this on their own time. “It is time for…

Baltimore residents and friends kayak five miles to the Inner Harbor and gather around Mr. Trash Wheel while promoting a clean bill of…
Last Saturday I covered Preakness for the first time. I’ve covered horse racing before, usually the Hunt Cup, but never Preakness. This time I was on assignment for The Baltimore Business Journal. *Do not share, publish, or use photos without permission. This year jockey Mike Smith and Kentucky Derby winner Justify won Preakness which makes the…
This past Friday was my 28th birthday. I usually don’t post my age because I don’t ever really think it’s relevant. A lot of things have happened to me since my 27th birthday, both good and bad, so I think it’s been a milestone year for me. I both obtained and lost a job that…
Lately I’ve been really attracted to using color palettes to create a minimalist visual which just means nothing but my subject and color. I love having a “pop” of an unusual color in photos that would otherwise seem lackluster. People underestimate how a simple primary color or secondary color can elevate a portrait from nice…
