If I could make a living photographing only non-profit events, I would. It is an indescribable feeling to be able to help others just by doing what I love! I feel very lucky to have been able to volunteer for Remembering the Brave for a few years now. However, this event was unlike any of...
I’ve spent 2 days photographing for Rock the Vote in recent weeks and have had a blast! The first event began on the campus of St. Leo University, (north of Tampa in Florida). It was the first stop, kicking off the Road Trip 2012 for the Rock the Vote road trip: During the day at...
