Description

Unit Still Photographer | Commercial + Narrative Work

From my early days as a camera assistant at the American Film Institute to becoming a multi-time Best of State winner in commercial and nature photography, my career has been built around capturing compelling, cinematic visuals that tell a story.

I bring over 15 years of experience in the fast-paced world of TV news, paired with a deep understanding of set dynamics from both union-style features and independent productions. I’m known for working seamlessly alongside cast and crew—always capturing the moment without disrupting the flow of production.

My work spans feature films, short films, branded content, and live performance. I’m frequently trusted by local theater and dance companies to deliver professional-grade imagery, and I’ve had the privilege of documenting Utah’s natural beauty through award-winning landscape photography.

As a unit still photographer, I deliver consistent, high-quality images that serve marketing, continuity, and editorial needs. I bring a calm, efficient presence to set, along with technical know-how, an artistic eye, and a collaborative spirit.

My mission on every production: to create stills that not only document the scene, but elevate the story.
