Spring 2026 has officially come to a close, and I’m incredibly proud to share just how busy, productive, and rewarding this season has been. As a full‑time professional photographer and videographer, I take great pride in delivering high‑quality work quickly, consistently, and with the level of care my clients deserve. This spring pushed me harder than ever — and I’m thrilled to say I delivered across the board.

A Season Defined by Speed, Reliability, and Professionalism
One of the biggest advantages of working with a full‑time photographer is turnaround time. When families, studios, and directors trust me with their memories, I make it a priority to get those images and videos back to them quickly.
This spring, I delivered:
- 37,402 edited images
- 32 fully produced videos
- 15 dance recitals
- 17 theater productions
Photo galleries were delivered within 24–48 hours, and videos were completed within 7–10 days — even during weeks when I was double or triple booked. Fast, reliable delivery isn’t a luxury here; it’s the standard.


Welcoming Two New Dance Studios
I’m honored to have added Vibe Dance Academy and Cressman Dance Studio to my growing list of studio partners this season. Both studios brought incredible dancers, beautiful choreography, and supportive communities. I’m grateful for their trust and excited for everything we’ll create together in the future.

Video Performance: A Record Year Already
Year-to-date, my recital and production videos have seen:
- 2,500+ total views
- 1,000+ unique viewers
- 500+ hours watched
- Nearly 4,000 total loads
And unsurprisingly, mobile devices continue to dominate how families watch their performances.



The 2026 Freddy Awards: A Milestone Moment
This year’s Freddy Awards were a highlight of the season. Interest in the photos was incredibly strong, and the gallery saw over a quarter of a million visitors — a staggering number that speaks to the passion and pride of the Lehigh Valley theater community.
As the official Freddy Awards photographer since 2013, it’s always an honor to capture the energy, emotion, and artistry of this event. This year was truly special.

Gratitude for the People Who Make This Possible
None of this happens alone.
To the studios, directors, dancers, parents, and performers — thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your support fuels everything I do.
To my photo assistants — your help during the busiest weeks keeps everything running smoothly, and I’m grateful for your dedication.
And a special shout-out to Stephanie, my assistant videographer, who steps in whenever I’m double or triple booked. Her reliability and talent make it possible for me to take on the volume of work that defines seasons like this one.




Looking Ahead: Summer & Fall 2026
The momentum doesn’t stop here.
This summer will feature:
- Powder Experience photo sessions
- Rain Machine Experience sessions
- Special destination photo opportunities
And this fall, I’ll be kicking off Year Three of my Dance Ambassador Program — the largest ambassador team yet. I can’t wait to showcase their artistry, creativity, and passion.
My calendar for the second half of 2026 is already filling up, and bookings for early 2027 have begun as well.
