How I Cover Events Without Getting in the Way
Events are live. I work around your schedule, not the other way around.
I know the light: Hotel ballrooms, convention centers and event halls in KC all have mixed lighting. With over 20 years of professional photography experience, I balance skin tones, stage light and ambient so people look natural, not orange or washed out.
I stay mobile: No big light stands in the middle of your cocktail hour. I work with a small, mobile setup and existing light so guests stay comfortable.
I shoot for your next event: I capture the wide room, the branding, the speakers, the crowd reaction, and the small details your marketing team needs for next year’s invite.
