A special day celebrating the Dover High School Class of 2026! 🎓📸 It’s hard to believe this is already the fourth Dover graduation ceremony I’ve photographed since graduating myself back in 2021. Coming back each year to capture these moments is something I never take for granted. ❤️

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph so many of these students through football games, band events, concerts, pep rallies, parades, and so much more. Watching them walk across the stage today was a reminder of just how quickly time flies and how many memories have been made along the way.

Today was filled with smiles, hugs, celebrations, and unforgettable moments shared between graduates, families, friends, and staff. Congratulations to the entire Class of 2026 on this incredible accomplishment! 🎉 Wishing all of you nothing but success and happiness in whatever comes next.

And if you know a graduate or family from the Class of 2026, feel free to tag and share my Facebook album post so they can find their photos! ✨

A fun evening at the South Elementary Ice Cream Social! 🍦🎶 From sweet treats to great music, it was awesome seeing the students and community come together for such a fun event. The bands brought plenty of energy, and the atmosphere made for a perfect spring evening! ❤️📸

It was great getting the chance to capture all the smiles, music, and moments throughout the night.

A great evening at the Dover High School Band Awards Ceremony! 🏆🎶 

Tonight was all about celebrating the hard work, dedication, leadership, and accomplishments of the students who make the Dover Band Program so special. From class awards and senior recognitions to special honors like the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award and John Philip Sousa Band Award, it was an awesome night recognizing an incredible year of music and memories. ❤️🎺🥁

It was also great getting the opportunity to photograph the event while helping run lights and slides throughout the evening! Congratulations to all of tonight’s award recipients and seniors; your passion and commitment truly showed all season long. 👏✨

A great night of music at the 2026 DHS Spring Concert! 🎶🌸 The Concert Band and Symphonic Band put on incredible performances tonight, showcasing all the hard work and preparation that has gone into this season. From classic pieces to energetic favorites, every group sounded fantastic and brought so much energy to the stage.

It’s always awesome seeing these students continue to grow as musicians, and tonight was another reminder of how talented this program truly is. 📸

A great night with the Dover bands! 🎶📸 This one was a surprise and wasn’t originally on my calendar, but I’m really glad I made it out to capture these students. From the 5th through 8th grade bands, every group brought great energy to the stage and showed off all the hard work that goes into building such a strong program.

I don’t usually get the chance to cover these concerts, so it was awesome to be there for something a little different! Huge shoutout to Mr. Carrick on being named Tuscarawas County Arts Teacher of the Year 2026, very well deserved! 👏

📸 There are 230+ photos from the night, all organized by group to make it easy to find your student.

🎭📸 A magical night at NPHS!

Tonight was something a little different for me! I had the opportunity to photograph the NPHS Spring Musical, Alice by Heart, and it was such a fun experience stepping into the world of theater photography! ❤️✨

From powerful vocals and emotional storytelling to creative staging and lighting, this show truly pulls you into another world. It’s not something I get to capture every day, and I loved every second of it!

Huge shoutout to the cast, crew, and directors for putting together such a meaningful and beautifully executed production. You can tell how much heart went into every moment on that stage. 👏🎶

Tonight I had the chance to photograph the Dover High School Steel Drum Band’s annual Pantasia performance. And let me just say, wow, what a show! From the energy on stage to the incredible sound of the steel pans, this year’s “There’s No Place Like Chrome” theme absolutely delivered.

The creativity, rhythm, and talent in this program never disappoints. So much fun to capture! 📸🎶

Amazing job to all the performers and special guests on another unforgettable Pantasia! 🔥🥁✨y

🎄🎶 What a night for the Dover Band Holiday Concert!

I had the chance to photograph both the Dover Middle School Bands (6th–8th grade) and the Dover High School Concert & Symphonic Bands as they filled the auditorium with holiday spirit, great music, and a whole lot of heart. 

To make it easy for families and students, I’ve separated the galleries into two sections

From the first notes of the middle school ensembles to the powerful closing moments of the symphonic band, it was a beautiful evening to capture.

Enjoy the photos — and happy holidays! 🎄🎵📸
