Memories by Dotty
04/2014 – PresentProfessional Portraits and digital photography for bands. Award winning and published photographer for the midwest area. Globally recognized with convenient digital delivery.
Staff Photographer
Mayhem Music Network
05/2012 – 07/2022Taking photos of musicians as they perform live. Shooting from the pit is my favorite part of shooting for this network. Capturing the shots and submitting for staff to review the band's performance of that particular event. The work with this magazine does not stop at the end of an event covered. On assignment means I work the concert, head home to process the many shots, watermark, and distribute to three different media outlets to expose the artist and the venue. Working with multiple social media sites with this network is the goal.

I shoot weekly for this media outlet as we cover local and national acts which frequent the Kansas City, Wichita, and Topeka, KS and surrounding areas. Expanding to Texas, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Colorado and Florida rapidly this year. Our listeners are currently in over 121 countries and the Rock Assault Radio Show has been syndicated to a listening audience of over 1.2 million. We pride ourselves on covering local talents not normally exposed on large scales. Covering their shows with professional shots is just one of the perks with the Blast family.
