Ellis Island Awards
Ellis Island awards for Ellis Island and the Associated Press
Photographing the Ellis Island Awards was such a memorable experience! It’s not every day you get to be part of an event that honors such incredible individuals who have made a significant impact on our country. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and gratitude as people gathered to celebrate achievements, resilience, and the spirit of immigration.
What I loved most about photographing the awards was the mix of emotions—pride, joy, and a lot of heartfelt moments. It wasn’t just about the speeches and awards; it was about the stories of the people being honored. Capturing their reactions when they received their awards, the proud smiles of their families, and the energy of the whole crowd was really special.
The venue itself added to the magic. Ellis Island, with its rich history and significance, was the perfect backdrop for an evening celebrating the immigrant experience. The lighting was a bit tricky, but it just made the whole vibe more dramatic and intimate.
It was a true honor to document an event that celebrates such important aspects of our nation's history. Every shot felt meaningful, and I’m grateful I got to be there to preserve those moments. Definitely one of those events that reminds me why I love what I do!

Iona Graduation Photographer
It’s hard to say what my favorite thing to shoot is, but I do know this, I love having an assignment that has no preconceived parameters. “Just capture the emotion” is about all of the direction I got from Iona. So the ability to walk around and just shoot for fun, and get the feel of an event is always the best. I didn’t expect to see so many decorated graduation caps, but I loved capturing them in photos.
