About:

I’m a full-time, licensed and insured professional photographer serving Beaufort County, SC, including Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head Island. I’m also an FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot, offering professional aerial photography and videography throughout the Lowcountry.

My Story

For over 26 years, I worked as an electrician. In 2017, at just 37 years old, I suffered a stroke that changed everything.

It was a turning point that reminded me we are not promised tomorrow. Life is precious. From that moment on, I chose to slow down, be present, and pursue something that truly mattered.

I bought a drone shortly after and began exploring the beauty of the world from above. That passion evolved into photography — and eventually into my calling. I became deeply committed to mastering light, composition, storytelling, and the emotional impact of an image.

In 2020, I launched my photography business part-time. In 2025, I proudly stepped into it full-time.

Everything in my life led me here — to serving people through art.

What I Do

I specialize in working with people:

• Weddings
• Family photography
• Couples & portraits
• Business branding
• Professional headshots
• Commercial and aerial photography

I’m known for blending professionalism with personality. I bring advanced off-camera lighting to nearly every session, allowing me to create dimension, depth, and beautifully balanced images in any condition — even harsh sun or low light.

My approach is natural but elevated. True-to-life tones with depth, richness, and intention. I also love creating bold, moody, and expressive work when the vision calls for it.

Photography is art. A photo is a story — and I focus on telling it intentionally.

My Approach & Editing Philosophy

Quality is not optional for me.

I personally review and edit every final image. I do not outsource my editing. What you hang on your walls or share with the world represents both you and me — and I take that seriously.

My editing process includes:

• Professional color-calibrated 4K 10-bit monitors
• Advanced skin retouching
• Distraction removal
• High-end image refinement
• Detailed color grading

Turnaround times are fast without sacrificing quality:

• Family sessions: typically 1–2 days
• Weddings: typically 1–3 weeks

As edits are completed, they’re uploaded directly to your gallery so you can see progress in real time.

What You Can Expect

More than just someone holding a camera.

• Professional, licensed & insured service
• Clear communication and fast response times
• Early arrival and organized workflow
• Direction when needed, natural moments when they unfold
• Studio-quality lighting brought on location
• Energy, care, and dedication from start to finish

I lead my business with heart. I care deeply about my clients and their experience.

A Little About Me

I’ve been married to my wife Katie for over 15 years. She’s my rock and biggest supporter. We also have two dogs who we love like family.

Nature is my reset button. It fuels my creativity and reminds me why I fell in love with photography in the first place.

Equipment & Professional Standards

I shoot with professional mirrorless systems including the Nikon Z8 and Z6II, paired with premium lenses and professional Godox off-camera lighting systems. For aerial work, I operate DJI commercial drone systems under my FAA Part 107 certification.

Professional equipment matters — but vision, experience, and dedication matter more.
