I was recently able to photograph a book signing at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Authors Rayya Elias and Elizabeth Gilbert, who is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love, were there. The two were signing their books as well as promoting the release of Elias’ book.

One of the amazing things about my job is everyday of work is at a “new office”. I find myself working in new places, meeting new people, and being able to travel. I primarily do a lot of sports photography so I gratefully accepted a new challenge. It was a great privilege and blessing to be able to work at the gorgeous DIA. I hope I will have the opportunity to work there again and want to say that Rayya was great to work with and best of luck to her!
