Introduction

I am a Durham based, self-taught photographer. My portfolio spans across a variety of styles, each fulfilling me in their own way. Portraiture allows me to get to know strangers (hey, you!) and work with them to bring their vision to life. Whether we are talking about headshots, family photo shoots, maternity, graduation shoots, couples shoots, parties, or solo shoots— I am here to celebrate you. I want to capture authentic, beautiful moments that showcase your intricacies, your relationships, and your accomplishments. When I am exploring the world on my own, I enjoy capturing cityscapes, landscapes, and wildlife. I picked up my first DSLR in 2016 and all these years later each image I make still fills me with so much joy.

Jordan is an absolute treasure! We had the pleasure of working with him for a newborn/family photoshoot, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, he was prompt and professional in communication, making the entire process smooth. Jordan has a very warm and friendly demeanor that made the photoshoot very enjoyable. One thing that stood out was Jordan's patience, especially when our little one became fussy. He remained calm and understanding, offering assistance and support beyond what was expected. His genuine care and concern for our baby's comfort was evident throughout the entire session. We were thrilled with how the photos from the session turned out! Each image beautifully captured the essence of our family and the love we have for our daughter. Jordan has a remarkable talent for capturing precious moments and turning them into timeless memories. We cannot recommend Jordan highly enough! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also personable, patient, and genuinely cares about his clients, then look no further. We are beyond grateful for the wonderful experience and the stunning photographs we now have to cherish forever. We look forward to working with Jordan again in the future for another family photoshoot!

Jordan took my grad pictures and they turned out great!! He gave good direction during the shoot which made it easy. He made sure I hit all my favorite spots on campus to capture the memories. He also made sure I liked the edits to all the pictures. All in all he’s a great photographer. Book him!!

Jordan was hands-down one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with! Not only was he incredibly professional, he took time before our session to call me and discuss my exact expectations and needs. He was able to provide me with a same-day turn around on my headshots. He is incredible!! So many people from my firm have asked me where my headshots are from!! Cannot recommend him enough!

From the very beginning Jordan was personable, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with him. He provided me details about his photography skills, he wasn’t overselling himself but I could tell he was very confident in his ability. He communicated frequently throughout the entire process, even letting me know that he had visited some of the areas I mentioned I would like to shoot at. He was on time for the photshoot and very welcoming just as he was on the phone and via text. Very nice and humble guy, please reach out to him if you are interested in a photoshoot you won’t regret it. I can’t wait to work with him again in the near future.

Jordan is by far the most talented photographer that we have ever worked with. He is incredibly polite and has the ability to put your at ease even at 8am on a Sunday morning. He know a how to bring the best out of people through pictures, and can tell an amazing story with his photography. I am absolutely blown away by his photography skills, his demeanor, and his passion. I absolutely hate photo shoots, but I have to say, Jordan made it incredibly easy!
