Photographing Penn University’s LALSA’s 28th Annual Conference presented an exciting challenge: capturing multiple speakers against a similar backdrop while making sure each photo still feels unique. By adjusting angles, lighting, depth of field, and composition, we could create photos that highlight the energy and individuality of each speaker. Pair that with some energizing networking photos and you have a pretty perfect event gallery.

Sometimes it feels like we are drowning in a sea of perfectly curated content where every Instagram feed looks like a magazine spread, every LinkedIn post feels like it went through three rounds of PR approvals, and you know as well as I do, we're all getting a little numb to it. This is exactly why candid event photography is one of my favorite things. True candid images should become your best friend when it comes to marketing your next corporate event.

At the end of January, Villanova University hosted their Annual Women in Tech Conference. In 2025, Villanova celebrated 10 years of hosting the conference, so I was excited that our team was able to cover the event once again this year.

This fall, I had the opportunity to travel to Mississippi for a two-day shoot at Alcorn State University. The first day we had beautiful, sunny fall weather, while the second brought an overcast, foggy atmosphere. Spending two full days on location provided a wonderful variety of weather and backdrops, resulting in a diverse collection of outdoor photos. While on campus there was no shortage of programs to document. We hopped from the business school, to the tennis courts, agricultural courses in the chicken coop and radio & television hands-on-experience on set. It was a great experience to travel outside of my usual stomping grounds and challenge myself in a fresh setting.

Widener’s Homecoming weekend had it all…Tailgate Village and Wild Zone, Flag and Wreath Laying Ceremony, Alumni Reunions, Statue Unveilings, the Homecoming Court Reception, a traditional Broom Drill, and finally, of course, the Homecoming Football Game. The schedule was jam packed and we were thanking the weather gods for a beautiful weekend to be running from event to event. As always, the MKP team made it possible to be everywhere at once!

We spent two days shooting at Saint John’s Prep on a pretty perfect Fall day recently. Spending two days on campus really allowed us to capture such a wide variety of photos and content that SJP will be able to use all year long. From music class to robotics, science labs to the teachers’ lounge, we captured it all, even a group of students running around campus with bug nets all in the name of science!

Annual reports are essential tools for highlighting key achievements, financial data, and strategic plans within an organization. While the data is important, the numbers only tell part of the story. To fully engage readers and showcase your organization’s mission, using professional photography is a game changer. High-quality visuals help create emotional connections, boost credibility, and ensure that your report resonates with stakeholders, clients and potential customers.

With September being National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month, these images of Saint Joseph’s 7th Annual Recovery Conference take on an even greater significance.

From candid shots of peer connections to powerful moments during keynote speeches, our photography at this event aimed to showcase how the institution is shaping the future of student support and recovery on and off campus.
