Photography
My signature style involves vibrant color, thoughtful compositions, and genuine laughter or emotion.
Event Photography
This is the #1 type of photography I book.
I like to either operate as a super-spy fly on the wall (😆), which makes for the best candids, or dive into the hustle and bustle, which makes for the best action shots.
I focus on genuine interactions, laughs, and heartfelt moments — capturing who your guests really are as opposed to stiff caricatures of themselves!
Previous event clients include Amtrak, Nuvole TwentyTwo Rooftop Bar, Carolina Film Community, the Lupus Foundation of America, IAA Athletics, Dilling Heating & Cooling, and others.

Behind-the-Scenes Photography
Filmmaking is an awesome but exhausting feat — when you’re in the thick of it on hour 12, behind-the-scenes photos may be the last thing on your mind. But when you wrap up the shoot and finally wake up from your glorious post-shoot slumber, you realize, “Crap… I have nothing to post on social media.” Nothing but a blurry cell phone shot where you're blinking or hunched over a script like Gollum. (Trust me, I've been there... 😆) Allow me to remedy that!
Behind-the-scenes pictures are one of the most useful tools for marketing your movie, music/music video, or startup. They're one of the highest demanded things from audiences. And ultimately, people who can't find the time to watch or listen to your full project will find time to swipe through your BTS. Sometimes the BTS performs better than the project itself! This is just the truth. Lol! It gets you on people's brains.
I’ve snapped shots behind the scenes on projects like ScrewUp TV’s limited series "Ogden" and feature film "All We Got," Schopix Studios shorts, and, of course, Mean Bean Comedy’s shoots.
Great opportunities for BTS:
📽️ Film/movie shoots
🎙️ Music recording
🎥 Music video shoots
📺 Commercial projects
🎬 Pre-production
📱 A day in your life
Creative Portraits
Unique locations, memorable colors, and images that make you feel like the best version of yourself are my goal. Everyone deserves to feel like they could be in a magazine every now and then! 😜
Don’t worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera – I totally get it. I am super awkward myself. Lol! We’ll keep things casual during the shoot. If there are poses you like from Pinterest, bring them, and we can use them as inspiration. 🙂 All that said, candids are my favorite! You don't have to hold still, you can move around and I'll follow.
One of my favorite shoots was with Jesi Stracham, motivational speaker and staff member of the Wheel With Me Foundation (and total baller), for her annual calendar. We got to shoot at an aquarium! That was so neat. 🐠
Creative portraits are perfect for display pictures, press kits, album art, and banners.

I also have experience with several other types of photography. One of my favorite galleries of all time is of Greasecycle's Charlotte plant construction start to finish. The owner wanted coverage of the process with an artistic slant, so I was able to capture fun compositions, plus I got to see some of the destruction on demo day. Lol!
