Today I got married and he did my last minute wedding photos. I’ve been working with him since I was 15 I’m currently 21. He has been my own personal photographer and comes highly recommended.

I truly enjoyed shooting with approved media he was very professional and patient on our 9hr shoot. Our shoot went from day until night and it was amazing every step of the way. We went to 4 different locations and shoot over 5 different outfits. I haven’t shot in a while and it was nice to get the feeling of modeling again. I’d recommend him to anyone who’s interested in a shoot. More...

Took amazing pictures of me for my brand. Would love to do more shoots with him. Suggestion wise I’d say for him to try and not talk AS MUCH. Conversation is amazing and his points are valid but majority of the time it’s unnecessary and can be a conversation for another day. Basically don’t want to talk to much and use the time to take the photos to get a point across. ♀️❤️ More...

I did a wonderful shower shoot in my home. I felt well comfortable and respected based on the image I wanted. We had very relatable conversation throughout my session that made me feel like he was more then just a photographer, he was a friend. He even traveled to me. I will surly be returning :D More...

I decided to work with him because I could tell by his work and also how he speaks about his work that he's very passionate about what he does. It was also my first time modeling and he did a great job at making sure I was comfortable. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Focus and good lighting. When it comes to a good photograph composition and a clean edit are also major factors. You need to be able to see your vision of the memory you are creating and execute it.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What's your budget? Where are we shooting? How long is the shoot?
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people receive quality work and helping others achieve their goals and dreams.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My Father has always owned his own business and it made me want to be as independent as he was as a child.
Why should our clients choose you?
They should choose me for a realistic aspect and having a mind that always finds a way to see outside of the box.
