I’ve regularly photographed Elizabeth Segerstrom at her many charity events over the years. That means I’m comfortable with — and trusted within — the circle of philanthropists, arts patrons, and high-end social circles that attend fundraisers, galas, birthdays, and exclusive functions. I know how to capture those candid moments between friends and peers, subtle interactions, elegant atmosphere — exactly the kind of visual storytelling that high-end clients want when they invest in events or lifestyle content.

With that kind of experience, my retainer program or event-based packages give you a dependable way to access that level of photography for your brand or institution - without having to hunt for a freelancer every time.

What the retainer or event package gives you:

  • Consistent, high-level photography and retouching of events, social functions, product launches or private gatherings, shot with discretion and a refined aesthetic.

  • A block of time reserved for you every month, so your projects (social media, editorial, lifestyle, event-recap) stay in focus and you aren’t competing for scheduling amidst other clients.

  • Flexibility: whether you need just a few images for a small event or a full suite of photos + social-ready content for a major gala - we can scale it. Smaller clients can start at the $4,000/month retainer. Larger ones or frequent needs can be structured around bigger output or longer shoot windows.

  • Peace of mind around pricing. You know up front what the monthly commitment is. No hourly surprises, no “per-event” negotiation if you expect recurring work.

  • Seasoned discretion and professionalism. I’ve worked high-profile events where reputation, privacy, and trust matter - and delivered polished, ready-to-use content that reflects the tone of the occasion.

To get started I’ll set up a quick 30-minute call - it’s about understanding your brand, what you envision for imagery, what’s on your calendar for the coming months. Then we build a plan that balances your content needs with a smooth, reliable production schedule.
