Choosing photography as a career has caused me to see things differently.  The world is even more fascinating, beautiful, tragic and surprising than it was before.  At their best, photos invite you to ask questions, go off on flights of fancy, make your heart ache or feel awe at the beauty of nature.  Theater is another passion of mine because it can distill emotion and thought into a character, scene or song.  In photography, I found that a purely visual experience also gave me a deeper way to perceive my surroundings.

Whether I am taking a headshot, photographing a theatrical production, or documenting a gala or corporate event, I try to capture a touch of the inner life of the participants.  I work in a collaborative way, and my goal is to create images that capture the spirit, as well as the appearance of events and individuals.   Will the photos be used as personal keepsakes?  For fundraising?  Publicity? To document a performance or event?  All of the above?  Each requires a slightly different approach, and I work with my clients to ensure their needs are met.

I started Spotlights Photography in 2015 and have over 20 years of experience specifically as a performance photographer. I hope you will get in touch, and we can talk about your photographic needs.
