What an amazing day on Saturday photographing commencement for Cleveland State University. Two ceremonies, over 3,000 photos taken, and countless moments of excitement, pride, and celebration.

I wanted to share a few favorites from the day. Being trusted to capture memories like these is something I never take for granted. Feeling blessed to do what I love and document such an important milestone for so many graduates and families.

I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

Friday night I had the honor of photographing the doctoral commencement ceremony for Cleveland State University and it was an incredible feeling.

To witness and document such a monumental achievement for these graduates is something I never take lightly. The excitement, the smiles, the emotion, the years of hard work finally paying off is powerful.

I’m truly blessed to use my art to capture moments like these and preserve a piece of history for so many amazing people. Congratulations to all of the new doctors. Your hard work is inspiring.

Session 2 with Clariana was a whole vibe.

We hit Berea Falls Scenic Overlook in the Cleveland Metroparks and she came ready in the cheer uniform.

And yes… I brought the light.

This is my second session with Clariana from North Ridgeville High School Class of 2026 and we created some serious heat 🔥

One more session to go and we’re saving more magic for round 3. 👊📸

Today was a fun one!

Lolo and I spent the day filming for Dr. Jessica Massari at Massari Dentistry and Aesthetics - Westlake and it was packed with great stories. One of my favorite moments was interviewing Hendrix, a spunky 4 year old who absolutely loves getting his teeth cleaned and proudly told me all about being a big brother. Honestly, he stole the show.

Hearing stories about positive dental experiences really hits home for me because growing up, going to the dentist was never something I looked forward to. So getting the chance to spotlight someone creating a completely different experience for families feels pretty meaningful.

That’s one of my favorite parts of this job. I get to tell stories about people doing good in this world and help shine a light on it. Dr. Massari is doing just that and I’m excited to bring these videos to life.

Also… Hendrix might be ready for his own podcast. 🎤🦷😂

New work for The City Mission. Mark is a symbol of strength and resilience and I’m so proud of how far he’s come with the help of an amazing organization.

Last night was bigger than business for me.

I had the honor of attending the The City Mission Elevate Gala 2026 as a sponsor and as the storyteller behind three films created to help raise funds for this incredible organization.

This is exactly why I chose this path.

I’ve always believed storytelling, when done right, can move people to action. Not just to watch… but to feel. To connect. To give.

Over the past few months, I had the privilege of capturing real stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed through The City Mission. Stories of hardship, resilience, and hope. My responsibility was to honor those stories with authenticity and intention, and to create films that could help make a real impact.

Last night, those stories helped contribute to an extraordinary $939,995 raised to support lives being changed every single day.

Read that again.

$939,995.

That is the power of purpose driven storytelling.

Because to me, this work is about more than content. It is about using my art to help make a difference in this world.

And I’ll say this boldly…

Storytelling is not a luxury. It is one of the most powerful tools organizations have to inspire belief, drive generosity, and create change.

If you’re a nonprofit, mission driven organization, or business with a story that deserves to be told in a way that moves people to action, let’s connect. I would love to help you tell it.

Grateful to be trusted with stories that matter.

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing a truly important moment for Cleveland State University.

Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost announced a $5 million endowment for the Cleveland State University College of Law to support hands on training for future prosecutors, including a new clinic and faculty position.

This is the kind of investment that creates real opportunity. It equips students with the experience they need, strengthens the legal system, and makes a lasting impact on our community.

I’m grateful to be trusted to document moments like this. Telling stories that matter and capturing work that moves our city forward is something I take a lot of pride in.

Proud to do what I love.
