In November, I spent a day in Carmel, Indiana, working on a piece for The Wall Street Journal’s Mansion section. The assignment took me around town, met the outgoing and incoming mayor, and spent time with a couple of families. The weather put a slight damper on the plans, but I was pleased with the overall outcome of the images and how they ran in print!

I recently photographed chemistry professor Marya Lieberman at her University of Notre Dame lab for a story in Bloomberg Businessweek. Lieberman’s team developed a field test to detect whether the correct amount of active ingredient were present in the chemotherapy drugs they received.

It was a cold and gray day when I met with Chris and Connie for a New York Times story focusing on the impact of football weekends on college towns and the housing market. This post offers a few images that weren’t published in the piece.

Over the last year, I’ve participated in the inaugural Complicating the Narratives Fellowship through the Solutions Journalism Network. This fellowship educated me on solutions journalism methodology and allowed me to focus my attention on a story impacting communities nationwide—gun violence.

Throughout January, I worked on a story that involved tense county board meeting(s) and various portraits to showcase the tension in Ottawa County. The images were a part of the story titled “In a thriving Michigan county, a community goes to war with itself” for The Washington Post.

It has been a month since I was in Chicago covering the historic election night of the city’s newest mayor.

It was a year of change and growth. From a solo gallery to travel articles, the work allowed me to showcase my photographic style and expand into new areas and develop new relationships. Take a look at some of my favorite images from 2022.

It was a privilege to photograph my grandmother over the holidays. We kept things pretty simple with just one off-camera flash, but we were able to create a few different looks in her apartment.

Two years after Jerome Adams, the former surgeon general, left office, he and his wife, Lacey, are still experiencing what they have named the “Trump Effect.”

In the lead-up to and during the 2022 midterm elections, I went on assignment to cover political stories in West Michigan for The Washington Post. This post showcases the spectrum of imagery from the handful of assignments and thoughts on the experience.
