On the Job: Montgomery School

I recently spent the day at the Montgomery School, a Preschool–8 independent school in Chester Springs. I went from preschoolers asking "why?" about everything, to lower schoolers testing water samples outdoors, to middle schoolers working through STEAM projects that were well beyond anything I did at their age. In between I caught their chapel, the arts, and plenty of muddy, happy moments in the outdoor classroom.

On the Job: Delaware Valley University Alumni Magazine

Always a quick yes when there are animals involved and University is right down the street! Delaware Valley University is located in Doylestown, PA and I got to spend some time on campus shooting for Horizons, their alumni magazine.

DelVal started back in 1896 as the National Farm School, and that hands-on learning experience is still a big part of who they are today.

Big Bonus: DelVal is also home to Terrain, which is absolutely beautiful. If you're ever in the area, make time to stop by!

Have a magazine, website, or campaign that needs photos built to flex? Let's talk!

On the Job: Germantown Academy

This spring, I spent two full days photographing Germantown Academy, a school that is literally older than the United States itself. We covered A LOT of ground bouncing around campus—six miles a day, if my pedometer is to be believed—and looking back through the full photo library, I’m not sure how we managed to fit so much into just two shoot days.

On the Job: Marymount University

I headed out to Arlington, Virginia this spring to visit Marymount University for some marketing work. We built in two days on campus, which meant we could come back the next morning for the spots where the light just wasn't cooperating the day before, and catch a few angles we'd missed the first time around. The two days also let us pop into so many different locations and classrooms which really shows off the university as a whole. That extra day made a real difference — the gallery ended up with a nice range of shots the University can use across their marketing in a variety of ways.

on the job: Messiah University

I headed out to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania a couple times this spring to visit Messiah University for some marketing work. It had been a few years since their last campus shoot, so we had a wide variety of subjects on the shot list. Of course plenty of photos of campus and active classroom shots, as well as time to find all the quiet little nooks Messiah has to offer. The healthy mix of formal and candid shots gave the final gallery a really nice range that the University will be able to use in a mix of marketing spaces for years to come.
