I've always been into photography, always taking pictures of everything, always had a camera with me. My dad gave me my first camera, an old Nikkormat 35mm film camera. I still have it and shoot with it. I got in my car one day and drove all around the United States for four months learning how to take better pictures. I'd never been anywhere in the US. I saw Niagara Falls, The Rocky Mountains, The Pacific Ocean, The Grand Canyon, and so much more. It was a blast.

I started out in a career as a musician. I played and toured full time for years and had a lot of adventures. I'm sure you can imagine. I used to take pictures everywhere we toured. Over time it got to the point where I was more into taking pictures everywhere we went than I was playing shows. Funny how things work out.

I love to meet new people and get to know them, help tell their stories with my camera and be a part of their lives for a bit. I thrive on new challenges. I'm always trying to learn new things.

Whether I'm documenting a wedding, taking family or senior portraits, or shooting on a commercial project, I try to bring love, passion, and creativity to every shot I take.

Ivette + Friends + Husband x Pets = Beautiful/Hilarious | Atlanta Portrait Photographer

Posted in Portraits

I love taking pictures. I mean, pretty much everyone knows that. I’m usually smiling the entire time I’m shooting. After shooting Ivette and her gang, though, my face literally hurt from smiling and laughing. Ivette hired me to do a photo session with her and the people (and animals) who are important to her. Just because. Awesome, right?

And Ivette totally has the most awesome Rock Band/DJ setup ever, including a DJ turntable! Ivette’s dogs like to go to raves, I’m pretty sure.

Did I mention pets? This was another shoot + pets. Always hilarious. I may or may not have gotten bitten by a dog on this shoot…pretty hard….totally worth it.
