Hi, I’m A.d. (they/them) —the creative eye behind the lens here. For a direct quote or any questions, please feel free to message me @a.d_galleries_photography on Instagram. For as long as I can remember, photography has been my passion. My style currently varies between bright and airy, retro and blurry, or warm and natural. I aim to create a comfortable atmosphere using prompts rather than poses, making each session unique to the individuals I work with. So far, I’m loving every second of this journey, and I can’t wait to work with you and bring your story to life through my lens!

I am a love and lifestyle photographer. My style is simple and clean and my approach to taking photographs is relaxed and candid and all about effortless elegance and natural look. I photograph portraits and events with passion to create images that reflect real moments and genuine emotions. business headshots, dating portraits, engagement sessions, family events, celebrations, weddings and maternity

I enjoy creating a photo journalistic look to my event photography. My goal is to have my work tell a story about the event that I am shooting. With a little experimentation, I can come up with fun and creative shots that make your special occassion that much more memorable. For portrait sessions I work with the customer to initially have them be comfortable when being photographed, ultimately aiming to capture their natural personality. I like to use the natural beauty of the outdoors whenever possible but can create a studio environment easily at any location by bringing pro-lighting and a variety of backdrops. Depending on the type of portrait session I will sometime recommend props or special wardrobe. I love working with people to have them be themselves, be at ease, and generally just to have fun. In post-production, I enjoy making people look their absolute best by encorporating digital techniques to create an artistic look to my work. What I have found is that this creates a network of customers who not only refer me to other people, but call me again and again. *Please note that my pricing on Thumbtack is a general estimate and could change based on individual job requirements.
