Available to hire
I’m Kristy LaVerick, a photographer, videographer and producer with a background in film, photography and education. I create visual content for events, fashion shoots, and academic and corporate projects while collaborating closely with clients and teams to keep productions on track. I enjoy setting up studio lighting, coordinating shoots on location, and delivering polished assets on time.
My work spans freelance commissions, university projects, and hospitality roles. I am comfortable working in studio and on location, editing in Adobe Creative Suite, and managing project libraries and workflows. I bring a friendly, proactive approach, strong attention to detail, and a can-do attitude under tight deadlines.
