About Sheri
Since I was a kid, photography has been a passion of mine. It has allowed me to travel the world, and explore my creativity. I have been fortunate to live my life doing what I love.
With every click of the shutter, I capture my audience by bringing a storytelling spirit to every photo I shoot. Each assignment is the chance to record a moment in time with enduring soul and style. For over 27 years, I have used my vision to uniquely take memorable photos for clients in travel, architecture, editorial, corporate, and advertising markets. I have experienced different cultures, lifestyles, and businesses while meeting interesting people.
I have mastered the art of composition while blending various light sources to achieve a final image. My ability to develop trust and comfort with each client allows me to create natural and timeless imagery. Over the years, I have gained the respect of art directors, editors, and business associates as a pro. My career is built upon an unwavering commitment to my clients, my love of people, and the art of photography.
Though a seasoned pro, I am always open to taking on new photography projects with fresh energy, always excited about the next story to be told. My experience over the years working with writers, editors, creative directors, business owners, and the like, has helped me to understand the importance of brand-building and product-selling services. I work with my clients to help them tell their stories and share their visions. My experience as a creative offers a strong understanding of the industry with regards to professional photographic direction. The result is an alluring style of imagery that shows compassion, strength, and beauty. As a visual storyteller, I create poetic imagery that is both profound and timeless!
Outside of my work, I have mentored and lectured for groups such as the ASMP, Art Camp, and the Boy Scouts of America. I earned recognition in the PDN/Nikon Awards, The Ad Federation, and FLA Magazine Assoc. among others. I have led travel abroad classes for Nossi College of Art and offered workshops and consultations to working professionals in various industries. As the founder of a 2010 Nashville flood relief organization “ReTune Nashville,” I care deeply about culture, people, and the environment.
I am available for commercial, editorial, and travel photography assignments. I also offer commissioned visual art pieces and mentor and speaking engagements.
