I’m excited, honored — and yes, a little scared — to be giving my first official talk on a topic I care deeply about:
“Event Photography Is Like Sports Photography… You Gotta Know the Game!” 🎤📸
After 17 years as an event photographer, I’ve learned that this genre is often misunderstood and underestimated. Too many people think it’s simple — just show up with a camera and start clicking. But those of us who do this work know better.
Event photography is a responsibility.
You’re showing the client in their best light.
You’re telling the story.
You’re capturing the energy, the people, the relationships, the vibe — all in real time.

I can’t wait to pour into the next generation and give event photography the respect it deserves.
