About Clev
Clev Media Productions was founded in 2021 by Dante, (that's me!). I named the company after my mother, Clev, to forever keep her name and memory alive.
I built Clev with one dream, capture the moments that make people FEEL. By day I'm a full time mental health therapist. I operate a private practice and commit my heart and soul to the emotional needs of my community. When I'm not in the therapist chair I spend my time as a husband, a dog dad, and behind the lens of my camera.
I edit photos after typing client notes. I treat my photography clients like my other clients: real humans. I bring a therapeutic aura to every shoot. A calm presence. At times I'll breathe with you, and at others I'll be helping you smile. I've also been told I should take up comedy part time and do my best to make people laugh, not just smile.
My mission, our mission: live with you and act as though the camera isn't there.
Dave:
Second Shooter
Hi, I'm Dave. I'd like to call myself more than a second shooter. I'm your partner for the day. Dante is a best fiend of mine and gave me an opportunity to show the world my creativity and talents, but most of all my personality and energy that I bring to each shoot.
Amanda: Co-Operator
Managing this company is a wonder. I help keep the books straight, the dates in order, and love spending time at events, especially weddings. I take pride in assisting the clients with all the nuances of a photography shoot, from holding a baby to fixing your hair! I keep the objects safe, and help ensure the environment stays clear of distractions while we work as a team.
