CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Those that know him will tell you he is naturally full of peace and compassion. It was no accident that his ease of connecting personally compelled him to begin to combine people and place. His talent for capturing the magic that happens when the two come together form the foundation of his career.

In working with him, it’s more than just the lens-slinging shaman going on. You get a meticulous professional. His easy-going demeanor sits alongside a craftsman’s sense of responsibility to get it right every time, no matter what he’s been assigned to shoot.”

- Rusty Grim – Owen Jones Agency Owner

“In a large project he was able to handle every aspect with grace under fire. He was able to handle the unexpected and somehow found a way to capture the true essence of the project. His eye for beauty was something I have only had the pleasure of witnessing a few times in my career.”

- Taylor Woodard, Motive Agency Founder

“Lance was an essential member of our marketing team for over ten years. He excels at executing a shoot plan while allowing space for creative opportunities, and he can adapt seamlessly when unexpected challenges arise.

. Lance is a true team player with infectious enthusiasm. He brings an authentic branding perspective from his extensive work in the outdoor industry and as a high-caliber outdoor athlete.”
