Portrait Photographers in Shelbyville, TN

Hello my name is Bryan Carleton and I'm a self taught photographer. I've been doing photography for 5years now. I just recently in the last 3 years got into to portrait photography and landscape photography. I am very versatile and take pride in my craft. I may not be the cheapest photographer but I will make sure that my customer gets the most out of my services in the fastest time possible.

I execute each photo shoot with high end professional equipment and over 20 years of experience. You will love the way I make you look.

I’m a freelance photographer in Nashville, TN. My specialty is portrait photography, hoping to help people feel authentically beautiful in each captured moment. I strive to make your photos feel like bottled memories for you to look back on for the rest of your lives.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’ve always been captivated by the power of visual storytelling. Whether it’s a film or a photograph, I’m drawn to the emotion it evokes and the stories it holds. Everyone has a story worth telling, and I’d be honored to help you tell yours through beautiful, intentional imagery. I’m now based in Nashville, Tennessee, and love traveling for shoots whenever I get the chance. I photograph couples, families, and creatives of all kind, and I’m always excited to collaborate on something meaningful. You can learn more or get in touch here and through my website!
