Hospitality Storytelling

Make your future guest feel the stay before they ever arrive.

I create photography and film for hotels, resorts, cabins, vacation rentals, and experience-driven properties—capturing not only the space, but the moments that make someone want to book it.

A strategic library of property, lifestyle + experience imagery
What it involves

The stay, in three parts

01 the property

Show them where they’ll stay

Thoughtful imagery showcases the design, rooms, amenities, architecture, and details that distinguish your property.

  • Interior + exterior photography
  • Rooms + common spaces
  • Amenities + design details
02 Experience

Show them how it feels

Lifestyle imagery moves beyond documenting the property to showing potential guests what staying there can actually feel like.

  • Guest-experience imagery
  • Lifestyle moments
  • On-property experiences
03 Destination

Show them why they’ll come

When relevant, the story extends beyond the property to the landscapes, activities, food, and experiences surrounding it.

  • Destination imagery
  • Outdoor recreation
  • Local experiences

Questions

About hospitality projects

Do you require a hosted stay?

Typically, yes. The length of the stay depends on the scope of the project as well as the distance from my home base in Ohio.

Do you photograph interiors as well as lifestyle?

Yes. My approach combines property imagery, details, lifestyle, and experiences to create a more complete visual story.

Can you photograph restaurants and amenities?

Absolutely. Dining, pools, spas, outdoor spaces, activities, and other guest amenities can be incorporated into the shot list.

Can we book both photography and video?

Yes—and for many hospitality projects, combining the two creates the strongest and most versatile asset library.

Do you charge travel fees?

I do not charge for travel time, however I charge the standard travel fee of $0.70/mile (2025 IRS Standard Mileage rate) for any properties outside of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Any flights are expected to be fully covered for properties that are farther than 8 hours by car.
