I had a great time working with @charlieberens again for @laughfestgr. He’s the creator of the @manitowocminute, also endless funny content on IG and TikTok, a great standup, actor and now a two-time alum of the festival. @ideologyproductions (at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8SFW0PXvb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Recent work for @experiencegrandrapids at @speciationales with @ideologyproductions to promote GR’s amazing local breweries via their #brewsader and #beertrail campaigns. Speciation is a great local spot if you’ve never been.

More @laughfestgr portraits of the very funny @iamdsprings taken backstage last week at @themidtowngr. Thank you, Daphnique for a great shoot! (at Midtown GR) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2fa54resT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A portrait of Tig Notaro photographed last week for @laughfestgr at @fountainstreetchurch. Tig is a brilliant standup, actor and very kind person who gently told me that she doesn't particularly enjoy the process of taking portraits...and I honestly can't find any fault in that. We got through it together! I have much happier looking photos from this series but I love this one so much. @ideologyproductions (at Fountain Street Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1OHD7LOKV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sharing some new work from last week’s VERY ambitious volume wall hybrid shoot at @goldenhour.gr (much more on that later). The mountainscape background was created from scratch by our team in CGI and displayed on a curved 40’ x 16’,, high resolution LED wall. So grateful to have this new ground breaking technology at our fingertips here at @ideologyproductions. Anything you can imagine is now possible!

It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to share some new work. PLUS I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since my business merged with @ideologyproductions. Time flies when you’re super busy and also have an incredibly talented TEAM all supporting each other. It’s been awesome to see our growth and also continuing to work with many of my longstanding clients via @ideologyproductions…so just reach out to me as always if you have a new photo or video project on deck this year! These photos are from a studio project (shot just today) that was created on the awesome new LED volume wall at @goldenhour.gr and @lowingstudios. It features a @ford Mustang MACH-E GT. Super cool electric car. Many thanks to @foxmotorsgroup for providing the vehicle. Your team has been so helpful! We’ll be sharing more from this project very soon.

Congrats to @jordanspieth for the big win yesterday at the @rbcheritage. Had a blast shooting this campaign for @livpur a couple months ago. (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcfwOz3rSen/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love seeing this @livpur campaign featuring @nellykorda roll out…also great to hear the current @lpga_tour #2 is on the mend. Had a blast shooting in sunny Arizona with the entire team! (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcTNUK6rK5T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My man @justinwillman headlined the @gildasclubgr “Red Door Gala” for @laughfestgr on Tuesday night and the show was fantastic. Loved shooting Justin’s portrait after his soundcheck. He always brings it. (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQqAIpLEG6/?utm_medium=tumblr

@charlieberens dropped into @laughfestgr last night and crushed it for a full house at @fountainstreetchurch. Had a blast shooting his portrait outside in the warm temps just before the show. (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbPwrhzrZWd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yonel is the incredible Director of the @havefaithhaiti Mission. He arrived here as a young boy at just 4 years old...long before @mitchalbom assumed responsibility for the orphanage shortly after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Yonel grew up here, was educated here...and eventually was appointed Director by Mitch. He is holding Phabi, a newer addition to the family who is barely 2 years old (no one is really sure of her exact age, so many kids don't have reliable birth certificates in Haiti). Ask @mitchalbom says, her feet barely ever touch the ground because all the kids want to hold her.a (at Port-au-Prince, Haiti) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSMelMrPtf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Proud to share some recent portrait work for the new show “The Established Home” that just debuted on the @magnolianetwork and @discoveryplus featuring interior designer @jeanstofferdesign. The show follows Jean’s renovation projects on stunning homes in Grand Rapids and the lakeshore. Magnolia is the network created by @chipgaines and @joannagaines. I also shot a lot of the aerial footage for the show…so check it out :) (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcyCJPrHYc/?utm_medium=tumblr
