Wow, 5 weeks really flies by! I'm so grateful to have had such an enthusiastic, creative, and thoughtful group of students. We all learned from one another, and had some fun while doing it. I can't wait to see what they create next!
I'll be back with more classes in the New Year, and there's plenty to look forward to before that. Stay tuned, and stay creative ✨️

I'm excited to announce that for the first time, I'll be teaching Portrait Photography in a comprehensive 5-week course! If you've followed my work, you'll know that I have a love of expressive, vibrant, dynamic portraiture with a commercial appeal. Now, I'm eager to use my knowledge working in the photo industry for the past 11+ years to help you sharpen your skills!
Classes are for adults (18+), and will be held in-person only @ Fleisher Art Memorial beginning on Monday, September 12th. Tuition assistance is available for qualifying persons. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you there!

POV: You're an actor, a public speaker, an author. Your agent calls and says they need some new portraits of you to send out to IMDB, the conference, the publisher. Your last pictures are from the Before times, and you've changed your hair and style since then. You book your portrait session with me, and your makeup with @azizawalkerbeauty
Your fresh new portraits blow everyone away and give you the confidence to shine before you even walk into the room. Job well done!
Now booking for August/September! 🔗 in bio

Kicking off this Lunar New Year and Black History Month reflecting on my very first magazine cover! Last year I was commissioned to create a series of portraits for FDU Magazine's Advocates for Change editorial. I was able to engage with some incredible Black changemakers and be inspired by their passions and insights.
It meant so much to me as a Black creative professional to be able to work on such an important project uplifting voices from my community. My aim is always to show people, especially those within BIPOC community, in their best light. Immense gratitude to @landesbergdesign@fduwhatsnew and @ryanstrandgreenberg for your invaluable support and trust in this special personal milestone, and to all the amazing subjects for bringing your best selves to set!

Some people just radiate joy! @ericalasan is definitely one of those people. You can view this portrait and learn more about how she centers joy in her life in the Fall 2021 issue of @fduwhatsnew . I used a combination of @rosco_labs gels to create this warm, vibrant lighting.
