I became a photographer because of my own kids. Once you have children, you feel that pull where you want to hold onto everything, but it moves so fast. I picked up a camera to try to slow it down, and somewhere along the way I realized I could do the same for other families.
Today I shoot family portraits, maternity sessions, and corporate events across Princeton, Monroe, and central New Jersey. I work with a mix of guided posing and real candid moments with enough direction to make the photos look great, enough breathing room for the kids to be kids and the dads to stop bracing for impact.
The goal isn't a photo of your family. It's photos that actually feel like your family.
I'm the photographer behind High Degree Media based in Monroe, NJ, and serving Princeton and central New Jersey. I shoot family portraits, maternity sessions, and corporate events for clients who care about quality but also care about the experience getting there.
What Drives the Work
The best photos aren't staged they're caught. I built High Degree Media around that belief after my own kids taught me how quickly real moments pass and how rarely we get them back. Whether I'm shooting a family in a Princeton park or covering a corporate event in a hotel ballroom, the goal is the same: pay attention long enough to catch the moments that matter.
How Sessions Run
Every shoot blends guided posing with genuine candid moments. Enough direction to make the images polished, enough space for real personality to come through. Families tell me their kids forgot they were being photographed. Corporate clients tell me I was easier to work with than expected. Both are intentional.
