I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He went far above and beyond what anyone would reasonably expect. Due to unexpected delays on my end, he waited at the location for nearly three hours without complaining, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured.
His professionalism, patience, and dedication were incredible. Beyond that, he had fantastic ideas for poses and photo locations that made everything feel natural and turned out even better than I imagined. The final photos were absolutely perfect and captured the moment beautifully.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, creative, and genuinely cares about giving you the best experience possible, I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you again for making such an important day unforgettable!

Kelly was great to work with! I needed a photographer last minute for some family photos while in Gatlinburg. He helped pick a place with great scenery and he was very patient with us. The photos delivered were better than I expected. Thanks again!

I absolutely cannot recommend this man enough! I was so very pleased with everything! He had excellent ideas on photography because I had none. My family and friends absolutely adored the pictures, as did I. He is extremely pleasant to work with. Also he put up with my dog with social anxiety, which meant a lot to me!

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved taking photos, bot because I'm a gearhead and also I've always been fascinated with strong visual content. My background in marketing and web design often put me in a place where I was doing a lot of product and commercial photography but I was afraid of portraiture because I didn't know how to interact with the subject or proper studio lighting. I decided to get serious about portraits in 2017, found some mentors and learned that I had found my passion. I love everything about what I do, I get to meet so many incredible people and capture the kind of images that I never dreamed possible.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Choose a photographer that understands your needs. There are a lot of photographers that focus on their own vision of the image instead of representing the client in the way they want to be seen.
