Hey, it's Meech

​​​​

I have spent over 30 years immersed in the creative worlds of radio, television, and the performing arts. Growing up with film cameras and some of the earliest digital models, my passion for visual storytelling has been lifelong.

 

My journey in the performing arts began at age nine on the musical theatre stage, and by 13, I was climbing lighting grids as a dedicated techie. From community theatre to becoming a proud member of Actors' Equity, I have worn many hats—actor, singer, director, producer, technical director, scenic and lighting designer. The performing arts have always been at the heart of my creative endeavors.

 

My professional media career took off at 18 in radio, followed by a transition into television in 1998. I am currently in my 20th year with Warner Bros. Discovery (formerly Warner Media & Turner Broadcasting) in Washington, DC.

 

Meech Creative, LLC was founded out of my deep love for the arts, offering professional photography, videography, production, and consulting services. I specialize in headshots and branding content for actors, dancers, and business professionals while also capturing theatrical productions, creative portraits, and special events. Dance studios and theatrical companies are among my key clients.

 

I am committed to creating a SAFE and inclusive space where all are welcome.

 

Having reviewed countless actor headshots, I understand what works and what doesn’t. An actor’s headshot is not just a portrait, glamour shot, or modeling image—it is a professional representation of who you are right now. Your headshot should reflect your authentic self, as you would appear on your best average day in front of a casting team.

 

Expanding my creative reach, I recently launched Pawsome Portraits, a dedicated pet photography service.

 

Additionally, I am an FAA Part-107 Certified drone pilot specializing in cinematic aerial video and imagery for advertising agencies and commercial productions across Western Maryland and Washington, DC. Through Shots Over Frederick, the aerial wing of Meech Creative, I also provide real estate photography for residential and commercial properties.

 

Let’s connect and create something incredible together!
