Portraits: Liam "NIM" Greaves

 

It feels so crazy for me to be writing this, but somehow here we are. One of my best friends from college is launching his music career with his first official single!

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to be in his orbit, and to have been able to make some portraits with him too. And so when he told me that he had finally made plans to officially make his entrance into his career it felt appropriate that we link up one more time to make some promotional material for him.

Listen to NIM’s debut single, “Silky” on Youtube, Spotify, or any other major music streaming platform.

Portraits: Dr. Jasmine Lee

 

At its very core, photography has always been a way for me to connect with people, and helping them see themselves as complex, competent, and deliciously confident individuals. After having to contend with so many events and weddings being postponed (or worse, cancelled), this was honestly a much appreciated chance for me to

Several months ago I had the opportunity to connect with Dr. Jasmine Lee, about shooting some simple portraits to update her website, and I jumped on that SO quick. The goal of these photos was obviously so that she could use them for her website, but also so that they could properly encapsulate who she was now, as opposed to who she was several years ago when her previous portraits had been taken. We discussed that one of her biggest hopes for these new photos would be that they’d show her as an experienced professional (check that Dr. in the name), but also as someone who is just as laid back as she is professionally qualified.

Dr. Jasmine Lee is a highly motivated, passion driven individual who considers herself a scholar, practitioner and activist. She is proud of her Lansing, MI roots, where she started her college career at Lansing Community College.

Through customized training and consultation, Dr. Jasmine Lee helps universities, non-profit organizations, and faith-based communities build capacity for diversity, inclusion and equity based leadership. With personal and professional values of social justice, community, integrity, grace, authenticity, and faith, Dr. Lee seeks to inspire, educate, and equip tomorrow's community leaders and higher education scholars.
