I'm a northeast Georgia photographer local to the Athens/Commerce area. I am currently in this full-time and only very rarely accepting trade projects. Feel free to contact me with any concepts, but don't be offended if I respond with rates. It takes a lot of time and energy (aka "money") to put a shoot together and do all the prep and post work, so please come prepared with some incredibly awesome ideas and be willing to help with wardrobe and props if you're going to ask me to work for free.

I've been shooting photos since 2003, and almost exclusively portraits since 2009. I can do anything from clean, professional headshots to fully themed conceptual shoots. I'm known for being super chill and easy to work with, and I make every effort to create a comfortable working environment for everyone involved in any of my shoots. I work well with others!

I'm very inventive and I love making props and sets, so I encourage you to bring outrageous ideas to me. I can do everything from cute vintage pinup and bloody horror to bluegrass bands and political portraiture. If you are a model, I encourage you to contact any of the other ladies I've worked with to check my references. I've been doing this for a couple of years and I've got a good reputation in the industry around the southeast.

I travel to Altanta, Savannah, Greenville SC, Nashville and Chattanooga TN and everywhere in between as long as expenses are paid. I would even like to make a trip down to Florida soon. If you're looking for a photographer anywhere in the Southeast, hit me up and let's talk.

PAYMENT: I take deposits for shoots via paypal, and they are non-refundable. As much as I'd love to pay models to work with me, I absolutely can't afford to, and it usually isn't good for business. Sorry.

CANCELLATIONS: I do not refund retainer fees/deposits. If you've booked a shoot with me and need to cancel or reschedule, please do so AT LEAST 48 hours in advance. This allows me some time to find a replacement or figure out something else productive to do. Thanks.

ESCORTS: I dig 'em! Feel free to bring someone along for the shoot. But please, no moms or dads, and no boyfriends, spouses or other romantically involved individuals unless we discuss it in advance. It can be a distraction for me and is usually very awkward for them and you. Female escorts are preferred, but not necessary.

MODEL RELEASES: I require 'em! You must sign a release giving me print, publication and sales rights if you want to shoot with me. It's standard policy for any professional photographer, it protects me from weird rights issues, and I have to have it in order to submit our shots to mags. If you need to know more, send me a message or Google it.

Message me for questions and if you want to shoot, let me know and we'll try to work something out!
