PHILADELPHIA, PA- As we begin 2026, these images remind us of the moments that make our work meaningful: the unexpected, the joyful, and the powerful. From shared celebrations to small acts of connection, it’s the people and their stories that shape the year. The year ahead is full of stories, and we’re ready to capture them all.
PHILADELPHIA, PA-I love me some puppers. I’m an animal lover of all shapes and sizes, and I’d love to do more work with shelters to showcase our furry friends. I think it’s a quintessential shot or maybe a must-have that if an animal is present at an event, I will get that photo. Don’t worry.
PHILADELPHIA, PA-Some of my favorite shoots are the unexpected ones.

This image stands out because it’s uncommon: the red of her hat cuts takes center stage in the frame, almost like a bird’s beak against all that green. It works because of the context, and because there’s something special about these unorthodox captures.
PHILADELPHIA, PA-The parade images came from my second Super Bowl Parade coverage, which has quickly become my favorite kind of assignment. I approached my equipment pack out a little differently this year, leaning into a super wide lens, and staying close, just a few feet away, to keep things intimate without ever feeling uncomfortable. The energy made it easy. Everyone was having a blast, completely present, genuinely happy to be on camera. Year two felt different in the best way, players and fans everywhere, moments constantly unfolding. It was hard to miss a good one. If they win every year, I’ll keep photographing it and stick with the same two-camera, two-lens setup, but definitely wear better shoes.
