The Importance of Being Earnest publicity photo for Riverwalk Theatre in Lansing Michigan

Clients

From 2010 to 2013, I worked on a deeply personal project called City Saunter, during which I walked and photographed every street in the city of Lansing. This experience was transformative—it was through this journey that I truly discovered myself as a professional photographer. As I documented Lansing’s neighborhoods and communities, I built meaningful relationships that led to collaborations with local organizations and nonprofits.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of photographing for beloved local groups including Potter Park Zoo, New World Flood, MarketLansing, TEDxLansing, and the Capital City Film Festival.

My work has been published in:

  • The Lansing State Journal

  • Lansing City Pulse

  • Capital Region Community Foundation’s 2012 Annual Report

  • Sport Magazine

  • MiCIA Magazine

  • Michigan Wine Collaborative

  • AG Equipment Trader

You may have also seen my photography featured on a variety of local websites and marketing materials, including:

  • Cravings Gourmet Popcorn

  • Capital Area District Library

  • Lansing Community College

  • Bluewater Technologies

  • Lansing Mayor Andy Schor’s Inauguration

  • MSU Alumni Association

  • Downtown Lansing Inc.

  • Meijer

  • Hour Media

Since February 2016, I’ve proudly served as the official photographer for Riverwalk Theatre. My promotional photography is used across their marketing materials and has been featured in Lansing State Journal and Lansing City Pulse theatre coverage.
