As a Detroit Catholic photographer, I recently had the great opportunity in early December to spend two days with Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, OFM. Cardinal Pizzaballa was visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) for a brief trip. The AOD hosted the first event at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth, MI where they held a charity event entitled, "United in Faith: Bridging Hearts from the Motor City to the Holy Land." The evening started with a press conference for the media, followed by a VIP cocktail hour, and concluded with a delightful evening in The Monarch ballroom. The evening was filled with hope in the Lord and for the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and his flock.

There’s something truly special about photographing an event that blends faith, fellowship, and fun. As a Lake Orion Catholic photographer, capturing the Alliance Catholic Credit Union Clay Shoot Fundraiser at Bald Mountain Shooting Range was a rewarding experience that beautifully showcased community spirit in action.

As a Michigan Catholic photographer there are numerous opportunities to photograph all that the great Catholic faith has to offer. This time, it was the diaconate ordinations of two young seminaries were ordained to the diaconate. These men are part of the Companions of the Cross, a Canadian community of priest, and live in Detroit house and attend Sacred Heart Major Seminary. It is always a great pleasure to work with the Companions. I have had the opportunity to work with them over the last several years and this year I arrived early to get a few portraits before the young men, now deacons, were preparing for the ordination Mass. This year I also added video so please be sure to see that video at the bottom of this most.

As a Catholic event photographer, I was recently blessed to have the great opportunity to work with Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan. They were hosting their 2025 Annual Celebration at the Saint John's Resort in Plymouth, MI.
