I will be the first to admit that if it ain’t broke then it’s time to break it and fix it into something new. Yea, I might have just made that saying up – but it wasn’t off the cuff. Through the first quarter of 2025 I had the feeling that finally, just finally, some …

Ok I took the liberty with the title of the amazing ASMP panel we did Tuesday night in New Orleans. As a New Orleans photographer and videographer my evolution as a digital storyteller has evolved over the last 28 years from what seems humble beginnings.

I am extremely grateful for all of my amazing clients both new and continuing that have allowed me to tell their story. I took a huge leap this last year in transforming my headshot clients into branding and video clients. I left my small Magazine Street studio for a photography studio upgrade and much higher …

For the last three years I have enjoyed photographing world famous chef and business mogul Emeril Lagasse and a variety of his projects around New Orleans. One would think that being a photographer in such a famous food city as New Orleans, and having a famous client like Emeril, I would be photographing his food. …

In the end, it’s not just about the photos; it’s about capturing the heart of your event and conveying it to the world.
