ABOUT // Charleston, SC

Northwood Academy

APEX VOLLEYBALL CLUB

TRUSTED BY

Lights, backdrop, and fog all come with me, so a gym with no windows is not a problem. I work out of Summerville, and travel is included within 30 miles. Past that, you see the travel cost upfront, before you book anything.

A stiff kid makes a stiff photo, no matter how good the lighting is. So the first thing I do is take the pressure off. I keep it quick, keep it light, and never make anyone feel silly. Once the shoulders drop, the real kid shows up. That is the photo that ends up on the wall.

I started out photographing weddings and portraits around Charleston. Then a volleyball club asked me to run its media day, a few hundred athletes in one gym, and I was hooked. These days most of my calendar is media days, game nights, and senior sessions across the Lowcountry.

MOST PEOPLE HATE HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.

THE SHORT VERSION

You talk to me, I photograph it, I edit it, and I deliver it. No account manager, no handoff, no surprises.

Galleries stay private to the program and the family. No athlete is named or tagged publicly without approval.

A media day runs on a schedule you can hand to parents. Nobody stands around, and practice starts on time.

ATHLETES COME FIRST

ONE PERSON, START TO FINISH

YOUR TIME IS THE BUDGET
