If you don’t know this about me by now, take heed: I am a major foodie. That’s not always the best thing to really, really love food, but when it comes to being a Dallas commercial photographer who shoots food, it’s a perfect union. I mean, if you don’t love food, how are you going to be motivated to make it look as tantalizing as possible for the client? Plus this passion gives me the excuse to try all kinds of great stuff. Enter the shoot for Toro Toro, which opened a location at the Fort Worth Renaissance Worthington Hotel last fall.

When it comes to event photography in Dallas, it is best to hire a professional. Here are four reasons why a Dallas event photographer should be on your list of vendors for your next soiree.

There are so many aspects to our lives that were affected by the Coronavirus. As with all of you, I have never experienced such a disruption at any time in my life, and you would have to go back several generations to see anyone that ever lived with something this unbelievable. As we roll through this pandemic, my Dallas event photographer self has taken some time to process several areas in my life, and I have had some revelations, and am also experiencing a much deeper gratitude for things that seemed commonplace before.

For several years I’ve enjoyed shooting and producing the stills content for Earth Day Texas, now officially known as EarthX. They describe themselves as the “World’s largest environmental expo, conference and film festival.” The event always falls right around the anniversary of Earth Day, and typically draws over 100,000 people over a weekend. My Dallas event photography team and I spread out all over Fair Park to cover the variety of meetings, speakers, exhibitions and film screenings to show how amazing this event is, and the impact they have on people’s mindsets regarding the environment.

As a Dallas commercial photographer who is a fellow small business owner, it breaks my heart to see so many small and local businesses struggling to survive right now. There are so many fantastic shops, artisans and restaurants that lost everything overnight, and in trying to do the right thing by containing this virus, the devastation is only set to continue.
