Creative Director and photographer building brand, campaign, and content systems rooted in culture, strategy, and visual integrity. I partner with brands, institutions, and organizations to translate identity and purpose into cohesive, impactful creative.
This test became a turning point.
Not just in what I photographed — but in how I approached the entire production.
Casting. Team building. Visual direction.
Letting skin, tone, and presence lead.
This is the new standard for how I create beauty work.

Every portrait session holds a story, but some moments carry a little more weight.
When Leroy Bean stepped into the studio, he had just come off a national tour with Tripp Fountain. The energy in the room was different — reflective, grounded, and full of gratitude for the journey that brought him there.
This session wasn’t just about creating portraits. It was about honoring a season of becoming.
As a photographer, those are the moments I care about most — helping people pause long enough to recognize where they’ve been and who they’re becoming next.
The Refresh Session was built for exactly that kind of transition. Entrepreneurs, artists, leaders, and creatives who feel the shift happening in their life and want images that truly reflect it.
If you’re stepping into a new chapter and want portraits that align with who you’ve become, I’d love to help you tell that story.

Project: Dayton Ballet Campaign
This project wasn’t just about creating beautiful images —
it was about translating legacy into a contemporary visual system.
The goal was to honor tradition while building a cohesive campaign
that could live across print, digital, and institutional platforms.
From concept through post, I focused on clarity, alignment,
and long-term consistency.
The result: a campaign that feels both archival and modern.

Most organizations don’t have a content problem.
They have a consistency problem.
Strong visuals without systems fade quickly.
Creative direction is about building structures that last — so every campaign, post, and story feels connected.
That’s where real brand equity is built.
