Appearing on Monterey on Tonight: A Conversation About Photography, Community, and Visual Storytelling

Appearing on Monterey on Tonight

Recently, I had the opportunity to appear on Monterey On Tonight, hosted by Gary Morris, and talk about my photography and drone work, my path to Pacific Grove, and the role visual storytelling plays for local businesses and individuals on the Monterey Peninsula. I submitted a bio and was told the interview would be about 10 minutes long, but that is all so I did not know exactly what to expect. Gary was most curious about the drone portion of my business so one of his producers pulled up my recent drone video of a surprise engagement and played it! Gary loved it and I loved having the drone video itself play on the air. I really enjoyed the overall experience of being on Monterey On Tonight and hope to be on again some day. Thank you to Hannah (who I met doing a radio interview 5 days earlier) for asking if I wanted to be on the show and for Gary for having me on!

Supporting Local Businesses Through Photography and Drone Video on the Monterey Peninsula

Conversations like this are a reminder of why I enjoy doing this work in the first place. Photography, drone video, and branding visuals are not just about individual projects, they are tools for helping local businesses be seen, understood, and taken seriously. Whether it is a small business in Pacific Grove, a growing company in Monterey, or a creative project in Carmel or elsewhere on the Peninsula, strong visuals help tell stories that deserve attention. If you are a local business owner who cares about how your work is represented and wants imagery that feels both professional and genuine, I would be glad to talk. Supporting the people and businesses that make this area special is something I genuinely value, and it is always rewarding when the work helps shine a light on what they do.

The conversation was relaxed and community-focused, touching on my path to Pacific Grove and how on-location photography allows people to be photographed professionally without disrupting their daily work. Experiences like this are a reminder of the value of local conversations and the importance of showing the people behind the work.

Behind the Scenes at Monterey on Tonight

These images capture moments from before and during my appearance on Monterey on Tonight, including the control room and studio setup that make a live local television show possible. Seeing the production side of the show offered a deeper appreciation for the coordination, timing, and people involved behind the scenes. It was a relaxed, well-run environment that made the conversation feel natural and enjoyable, and it reinforced how much care goes into creating thoughtful local programming.
