Photography

I use photos to bring stories to life. In my role with Virginia Tech, I serve as the in-house photographer for industrial and systems engineering — capturing departmental events, in-the-moment research photos, and portraits of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

Personally, I offer shoots for professional headshots, graduation portraits, and family photos. I also second shoot for professional wedding photographers in the New River Valley.
