Simple headshots that still feel like YOU.

No stiff, arms-crossed, corporate-badge energy here. Just good light, guided posing, and zero awkward vibes the whole session.

Swipe through and tell me... does this feel more "professional" or more "actually you"? For us, it's both. That's the whole point.

Working with women entrepreneurs might be my favorite part of this job.

I get it. I am one. Building something from scratch while trying to look like you have it together is its own kind of hard, and half the time you're doing it alone.

So when a woman running her own business sits down in front of my camera, I'm not just taking her headshot. I'm watching her step into the version of herself that's already doing the thing. That part never gets old.

If that's you, let's talk. 📸

You can’t build real community with a filtered version of yourself.

That’s the short version of the blog post I just put up (link in bio). Real church community doesn’t happen in the highlight reel. It happens in the pew. Tired eyes, restless kids, the same handful of families showing up week after week.

I’ve spent years photographing Catholic parishes around Atlanta, and the moments that actually matter are never the posed ones. The folded hands. The quiet word from the lectern. Even the ceiling in one of my favorite sanctuaries was painted to look like the sky God gave us, because the details deserve reverence too.

If your parish wants a photographer who gets all of that, let’s talk.

The conference group toured the Rome Clocktower. I was underground on the other tour. So on my way out of town, I figured I'd just swing by and see it.

Nobody mentioned the hill. I don't know how I missed the hill. It's literally in the middle of town. When I say hill I mean I had to put my hybrid in sport mode and gun-it from across the street to get up said hill. Y'all... just to visit a water tower. I told you I was a history nerd, right? 🤓

I parked in the little deck I found wedged between two houses. I parked and walked to the edge, and got handed the entire Rome skyline at sunset. It was stunning!

Behind me, the Clocktower, built in 1871 used to hold 250,000 gallons of the city's water. It hasn't held a drop since the 1890s but the clock tower still stands as an epic landmark.

In the one photo you'll see the Historic Floyd County Courthouse, gutted by fire this past March, tower still standing. And of course I found a few steeples and epic sun flare over the downtown.

Then I did the most me thing possible: drove off to chase golden hour and got stuck on a phone call. *fart noise* I watched the best light of the day happen through a windshield, but I did grab a Coke sign shot out the passenger door while parked on speaker.

Made it back up to the clock tower at blue hour for one last frame, then drove an hour twenty home. Worth every minute.

Bucket list shoot No. 10, complete. Three pockets of free time, one small city, one very full memory card, and not one thing went how I planned it.

The best shoots are always the ones I didn't schedule. Where should I go next? 🪩

This part of the job never gets old. The friends who can't stop laughing mid-shoot, completely forgetting the camera is even there.

Studio sessions are my favorite for exactly this reason. You plan the shot list and the outfits, but the best moments are always the ones that happen in between. The inside joke. The "wait do that again" moment. The genuine, can't fake it laugh.

If you want brand photos that actually feel like you instead of stiff posed shots, let's talk!

Sacrament season doesn't really slow down around here. This is a small pull from some of the baptisms this summer around Atlanta.

Grateful to keep getting invited into these days

I walked into a church I had never been in before and immediately felt like I was back in college.

Part two of my Rome day. Lunch break. St. Mary's Catholic Church.

The original copy of my schedule did not allow for a lunch break so when I found I had two hours of downtime, I grabbed lunch at a local deli and then wandered to the very end of Broad Street to visit St. Mary’s.

Had I known I was going to have such a lovely break time, I would have reached out to the pastor, who used to be a parochial vicar at my parish, so we could visit. However, I also knew it was his day off and wanted to respect that.

The outside of the church looks perfectly placed for the town. Like many Catholic Churches in Georgia, I could tell it had seen many years of additions so I was excited to see what the nave and sanctuary had to offer. Inside, the cornerstone says the church was dedicated in 1930, but the altar piece stopped me in the doorway, because it looks so much like the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at the University of Dayton, which was built in the 1860s.

Turns out the high altar wasn't built for this church but it WAS built in the 1930s. . It was made in Italy in 1930 for a Jesuit chapel in Wisconsin, then salvaged and installed here during the 1998 renovation. Carrara marble, Venetian mosaic, onyx. Materials and detail work that is irreplicable today.

I loved exploring the century old baptismal font and was pleased to find the ambry in a prominent place with the oils visible.

I wish I had had more time to explore, and even more so, wish I had had time to visit the new parish chapel designed by the lovely Cristina DiMarzio from The Inspired Designs. Guess that means I need a return ticket to Rome.

The best part of catholic churches is you can be 50, 500, or 5,000 miles from home, in a town you've never been, and still know exactly where you are.

🤓⚠️ I am a history nerd, and downtown Rome, Georgia handed me an absolute buffet. Who knew this gem of a city was just over an hour away?

Soooo bucket list shoot No. 10 was supposed to be a road trip. It turned into a coffee run during a work trip. But since I make the rules here it counts.

I was in Georgia's Rome photographing a conference and ended up with three unplanned pockets of free time.

My day started at 5:45am so by 9:30 I was in need of more caffeine. I sprinted ⅓ of a mile during a lengthy keynote speaker, camera still strapped to my back, to grab an ice coffee.

This was my first moment *really* seeing Rome in the daylight and I knew instantly this precious town was about to cross off a bucket list shoot.

With one hand on the camera, and one hand on the coffee and no time to spare I had some serious limitations to what I could shoot: No zooming, no changing settings, no second chances. Whatever the street gave me is what I got.

The sun was just starting to peek over the 150+ year old buildings and Rome was showing off: Vintage cornices, Original metal work. Ghost signs. Historical markers. Brick walls with several patches. The high water line from the flood that convinced the city to raise Broad Street in 1886 rather than build a levee. (The old storefronts are still down there. There is an entire underground level of Rome!!)

Constraints are underrated, by the way. When you can't fiddle with your settings, you have to actually work to compose the shot. My 20 minute sprint turned into a 3 century time warp and epic photo walk. I’m not sad.

PS: This place is a photo location goldmine: A family lifestyle session. Brand photos for a museum curator, a tour guide, a travel agent, a historian, a book lover, a municipal employee, a cosplayer, or anyone who wants a vintage backdrop without fighting a crowd for it.

Consider this my formal pitch. Who's coming with me? 🪩

Part two coming soon!

If you caught the Kiah Studios reel, you already know what a headshot mini with me feels like: good light, zero stiffness, someone telling you exactly what to do with your hands so you don't have to think about it.

Here's what you actually need to know: sessions are quick, a couple outfit changes, and spots are going for August. These fill up fast because most people just need one good photo, not a whole gallery.

grab your spot before they're gone, link in bio
