about me…

Atlanta Photographer Specializing in Portraiture, Headshots & Brand Photography

I’m a photographer, graphic designer, and creative director based in Atlanta, Georgia.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the process of making images. I started with whatever camera I could get my hands on, chasing light and instinct without fully understanding why. Early on, photography was a tool I used to support my graphic design work—adding original content, shaping visual narratives, and expanding creative possibilities. But it wasn’t until I lost my brother that the “why” became clear.

His passing changed the way I see the world—and the way I approach every frame. He was endlessly curious and driven to reach his full potential. That journey was cut short. So now, in many ways, I shoot for both of us. Each portrait I take is part of a larger body of work that only exists because of that loss. There’s a weight to that. A responsibility. A purpose.

Photography, for me, is about more than capturing a face. It’s about helping people see themselves with new clarity—sometimes for the first time. That sense of potential he chased? I try to reflect that back to every person who steps in front of my lens.

Over the years, I’ve sharpened my craft not just through practice, but through intention—studying light, form, and feeling with a designer’s eye and a storyteller’s heart. I work with clients across concept-driven portraiture, natural and refined headshots, and lifestyle photography rooted in brand storytelling—always looking to create something real; something resonant.
