Why this page exists

Here's the short version, if you're curious.

No navigation, no blog — just a bit of background in case you're looking into who I am professionally. Below is a sketch of where I've been, and what I'm looking to do next.

Where I am now

Sixteen years running my own creative businesses. Ready for a new chapter.

Since 2010 I've built The Waldron Photograph Company from a $26,000-a-year side project into a referral-driven business serving 700+ clients — mostly as a documentary wedding and portrait photographer. I've done it all myself: client relationships, marketing, scheduling, budgets, vendor coordination, delivery — plus the project management underneath all of it, coordinating timelines, contracts, and moving pieces across every job.

Alongside that, I co-founded and helped build Bonfire Create Space, a coworking community in Mission, Kansas, from the ground up — growing its membership, programming, and local business partnerships over six years into a thriving small hub.

I'm ready to bring that same relationship-building, creative problem-solving, and project-coordination skill set into an organization — particularly in roles centered on communications and community engagement — and to shift my photography work away from weddings and toward corporate, branding, and storytelling for mission-driven companies.
