Editorial Photography & Film · Raleigh, North Carolina
Portraits, weddings, and brand imagery with the polish of a campaign and the feeling of a lived moment.
I’m a photographer, art director, and filmmaker with thirteen years behind the lens. I came to this work after serving in the United States Marine Corps, and that discipline still shapes how I work: careful preparation, calm on the day, and a refusal to settle for good enough.
Every project is art directed from the first conversation to the final frame, so the images feel considered, cohesive, and unmistakably yours.
Timeless by design
Trends fade. Well-composed light, honest emotion, and refined styling don’t. I pair modern technique with classic composition to create images that look as right in twenty years as they do on delivery day.
A considered experience, from first call to final gallery
Each commission begins with a conversation about your vision, your setting, and how the images will be used. From there I handle the creative direction, planning, and production, so you can simply show up and be present.
