my story

I am not a “true to life” color photographer. My editing style is unique, but still classic, beautiful, & timeless. I feel like an artist when I edit. I love to use vintage tones with fall foliage inspired colors all year ‘round. I hand edit every photo by hand ( no ai!). I’m a Virgo so I make sure everything is flawless and perfect. Each photo takes at least 15 minutes to complete, but that’s what makes my style unique & I love to be the BLACK SHEEP in the photography world.

My aesthetic

Hey, I’m the guy behind the camera!

What to expect

My photography style is a mix of Dreamy storytelling, lifestyle, cinematic, & portraiture. I love the country backwoods southern gothic aesthetic, especially being raised in Berkeley Springs, WV & it shows through my work; from the colors I love to incorporate to the scenery i choose & even down to the way i encourage my clients to dress. While everyone is having a magical time.
