Your headshot doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. 👏
My longtime neighbor John Corbally came in for updated professional photos. With an accomplished career in law and mediation, he wanted images that felt professional and polished—but still had enough personality to stand out from the typical corporate headshot.

Because professional doesn’t have to mean predictable.

Four shoots and eight years later, Dr. Kelli Ritter is still one of my absolute favorites to photograph. 💛

For our latest brand shoot, we headed to her family’s lake house on Lake Lanier to create fresh imagery that reflects the warm, approachable energy she brings to her work in mental wellness and the Quantum Mental Health Podcast.

And her secret to a genuine smile? Quietly repeating “baby butts, baby butts, baby butts” to herself because thinking about her kids when they were babies makes her laugh. 😂 Works. Every. Time.

🌿 Celebrating the people shaping Georgia’s landscapes.
The annual ASLA Georgia Awards Dinner brought together landscape architecture professionals from across the state for an evening of networking, dinner, and recognition of some of Georgia’s most outstanding projects.

From cocktail-hour connections to celebrating the best of the best, it was a great night honoring creativity, innovation, and the spaces that shape our communities.

🎉 125 years calls for a BIG celebration!
To kick off Marist’s 125th year, students, faculty, and staff filled the football field on the first day of school to create a giant “125” in honor of the school’s founding in 1901.

The original plan? Shoot it from a scissor lift. The reality? Even my 14mm lens couldn’t get the whole thing in frame.
😂 So up to the top of the stadium I went, shooting out of the press box window to get the shot!

Sometimes photography is just figuring it out—and this view was definitely worth the climb. 📸

Happy 125th, Marist! 🎉

🏕️☀️ MPI Georgia went to summer camp!

This year’s annual MPI Classic traded the traditional tournament format for a full-on camp day at Roswell Junction—and the event industry definitely understood the assignment. 😂

Camp teams, bocce, co****le, friendly competition, a silent auction, plenty of networking, and a celebration to crown the official Classic Camp Champs made for an afternoon all about connection, community, and FUN. Sometimes the best networking happens when you step away from the ballroom and embrace a little summer camp energy. 🌲🏆

✨ Some events are simply unforgettable. ✨

An incredible evening capturing a private partner appreciation dinner hosted by and in the home of Atlanta culinary icon Chef Kevin Rathbun. 🍷🍽️

From the intimate setting to the thoughtful details, every part of the evening was designed to celebrate the relationships that make great business possible. These are the kinds of experiences that remind me photography is about more than documenting an event—it's about preserving the atmosphere, the connections, and the moments your guests will remember.

📚✨ Bringing clarity to important conversations ✨

Captured the CASE (Council of Administrators of Special Education) Conference at the Loews Atlanta Hotel, where professionals gathered to share insights, attend breakout sessions, and engage in meaningful discussions around special education law and leadership.

From keynote moments to educational sessions and networking throughout the event, it was a full day centered on learning, collaboration, and supporting those doing important work in education.

Every event has a story—and it’s always a privilege to help document it.

📊✨ Innovation in action ✨📊

Back for year two capturing the Equifax Finance Analytics Showcase—an internal event where teams bring data, strategy, and problem-solving to the forefront.
Throughout the day, teams presented real-world financial challenges and walked through how they leveraged EFX.AI and cloud-based analytics to create smarter, more efficient solutions. With a panel of judges asking thoughtful questions and recognizing standout work, the event highlighted just how impactful business intelligence can be when it’s applied with intention.

Always a great experience documenting moments where innovation, collaboration, and insight come together.
