I photograph and film hotels, resorts and glamping stays, for my Instagram audience and for the property's own channels. Past stays include Pasadena Hotel & Pool, AutoCamp Zion and Zion Mountain Ranch.

What I make during a stay

A stay becomes a reel or a carousel on Instagram, with stories posted during the visit. I photograph the rooms, the grounds and what a guest can do nearby, and I am in many of the pictures myself.

The same shoot can produce a set of photos and video for the property to use on its website, in ads and in print, licensed for 12 months.

Hotels also appear inside my destination articles. The Ponte Vineyard Inn in Temecula, Cozy Peach Glamground near Mesa, The Federal Hotel in Carson City and Best Western Plus Yosemite are each part of a published itinerary.
