unfold fold
We offer customizable packages for weddings, events, portraits, and commercial projects, so you only pay for what you truly need. A detailed quote is always provided after a brief consultation to understand your vision and expectations.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Building Trust & Comfort We believe that great photos and videos come from real connections. That’s why we prioritize making you feel completely comfortable and heard. We’re not just there to shoot — we’re there to support your story with honesty, transparency, and integrity every step of the way.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
I started with a dream and a passion for storytelling through visuals. Over the years, I’ve consistently sharpened my craft through hands-on training, creative growth, and a heart for serving people. I see this work as a gift — and I treat every project with care, professionalism, and purpose. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, understood, and excited about what we create together.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I got started during my Army deployment in Kuwait, right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many others, that time gave me space to reflect — and I felt a strong pull to try something I had always been passionate about: photography and videography. With limited gear and a lot of curiosity, I started capturing moments around me — the people, the stories, the quiet in-between scenes of daily life during deployment. What began as a creative outlet quickly turned into a calling. I realized I had a genuine love for visual storytelling and a gift for making people feel seen through the lens. Since then, I’ve been all in — learning, growing, and turning that passion into a full-time business built on purpose, professionalism, and heart.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients — truly, people from all walks of life. This includes professional models, couples getting married, sports teams, gyms, families, kids, military personnel, churches, foundations, and everyday individuals who simply want to capture something meaningful. Whether it’s a high-energy event, a heartfelt ceremony, a branding shoot, or a community initiative, I bring the same level of passion, creativity, and care to every project. I love connecting with people and helping them tell their stories through powerful photos and videos.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
A recent project I’m especially proud of was a commercial photography and videography shoot for Relentless Restoration, a roofing company, in partnership with the Braxton Miller Foundation. The shoot took about four hours in total. During that time, we captured dynamic visuals that truly showcased the quality and professionalism of Relentless Restoration’s work. The final photos and videos turned out great and have helped the business effectively promote their services, reaching more customers and supporting their growth. It was rewarding to be part of a project that not only highlighted a strong local business but also connected with a meaningful foundation.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
When choosing a photography or videography provider, look for someone who genuinely cares about you and your vision. It’s important to find a professional who is willing to go above and beyond—not just in delivering high-quality images or videos, but in making you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. A great provider treats your project as personal, understanding that these moments are meaningful. They’ll listen closely, adapt to your needs, and bring creativity and care to every step, ensuring the final product truly reflects your story. Don’t settle for anything less than someone committed to making your experience enjoyable and your memories unforgettable.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
Before reaching out, it’s great to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Here are some questions to think about: What is the purpose of the project? (Wedding, event, portrait, commercial, social media, etc.) What style or vibe do you envision? (Candid, formal, artistic, documentary, cinematic, etc.) What is your budget range? How long do you need the photographer/videographer? (Full day, a few hours, a quick session) Are there any specific shots or moments you want captured? Do you have a timeline or key dates to work around? Where will the shoot or event take place? (Indoors, outdoors, multiple locations) Are there any special requirements or challenges? (Lighting, travel, permissions, drone usage) How soon do you need the final photos or videos delivered?
