Commercial & Brand Photography
Impactful, authentic imagery that elevates your brand and connects with your audience.
Whether you're launching something new, updating your website, or bringing fresh energy to your marketing, thoughtful imagery helps people connect with who you are and what you do. I collaborate with businesses, nonprofits, and creative teams to create honest, on-brand photography that tells your story and supports your mission.

Investment Guide:
Most local commercial projects begin around $1,200–$5,000, which typically includes creative planning, photography, editing, and a standard license for local and digital marketing use.
Projects usually include a commercial usage license for website, marketing, and digital content. For campaigns with regional, national, or paid advertising reach, extended usage and distribution options are available as needed.
I’m happy to talk through scope and usage to make sure you have exactly what you need for your brand.
Community Commitment
Frederick is full of founders, makers, and mission-driven teams doing meaningful work. Alongside commercial projects, I reserve space each year to support local small businesses, grassroots initiatives, and creative entrepreneurs through reduced-rate or donated photography when possible.
If your business or project strengthens community, fosters creativity, or expands access and opportunity, I’d love to connect.
