📍 Based in Tennessee but available to travel
📆 Now booking.

NOTE: Professional photography and videography are luxury services, and I price accordingly. I believe in fair compensation for time, skill, and artistry, and I kindly decline inquiries that do not reflect that value. My work is crafted with intention and expertise. When you book me, you’re investing in a luxury experience and premium results - and I honor that by accepting projects that align with professional rates. Quality imagery is an investment, not an expense. I partner with clients who understand that luxury service comes with luxury pricing, ensuring an experience and final product that exceed expectations. I look forward to working together to create a timeless and engaging set of deliverables that leave us both feeling great.

Additional booking notes

As a professional photographer and content director, I bring my own camera gear, lenses and lighting tools to capture your event at the highest quality - no additional equipment required on your end.

That said, here are a few things that help me deliver my best work:

✅ IDEAL CONDITIONS:

Well-lit spaces are preferred for optimal photo + video quality
Access to event schedule or run-of-show is helpful to ensure I capture every key moment
Space to move freely around the venue so I can capture dynamic, candid, and wide-angle shots

🎥 IF VIDEO IS IN YOUR PACKAGE:

No stage lighting or sound setup is required from you
I shoot with stabilized handheld rigs and bring ambient lighting when needed
Audio for testimonial clips can be captured with an external mic if a quiet space is provided nearby

I’m fully self-sufficient, deeply respectful of other vendors, and can blend seamlessly into any production - from high-end corporate events to intimate brand dinners.

Let me know your space and schedule details, and I’ll take care of the rest.
