Sometimes time and care is needed to produce a good professional headshot. And sometimes a business has a large number of employees needing a headshot where everyone is spread out over a geographic region but are coming together for a meeting. That is an opportune time to get the job done - and it can be done efficiently! Here’s to the fine “men in black” of the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville and getting their headshots updated.

While I consider all of my subjects to be people of stature and importance, it is not often I am given the opportunity to create a portrait for a man who has both seen history and played an active role in it. My study of Justin Cardinal Rigali, one of the loveliest prelates of the Catholic Church.

A project I did for the schools in the Diocese of Knoxville shows the importance of preparing for a photo shoot mindfully - what is the objective and how can images show that while having visual impact? In this article, I give three examples of how a Catholic identity was shown without using the more banal “How about a picture of the kids at Mass?”

An old liturgy - the Chrism Mass - took on a new look today at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville in this time of COVID-19. As one of the photojournalists for the Diocese, I captured images that show a unique period in diocesan history.

I am honored to have my work in the new Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville.  Maybe it's just a photograph but it was important to me that I capture a friend's spirit in his portrait.

I do not like heights but wheat do you do when the Lord calls and you're crazy enough to listen?  Read about my climb to the top of Sacred Heart Cathedral in Knoxville.

My photos of the Reed Family of Gatlinburg that were used in East Tennessee Catholic, with a link to the article.  It is a good lesson in gratitude and knowing what is important when disaster strikes.

The Diocese of Knoxville is building a new cathedral, Sacred Heart, under the leadership of Bishop Richard Stika and with the help of Merit Construction in Knoxville, Tennessee.  Recently, Bishop Stika went up some 100' to inscribe his episcopal motto on the beam of the cathedral's dome.  The workers of Merit Construction gave him great respect for this, but they deserve their own respect, too.
