Bring Me Your Beautiful Chaos.

I believe creativity should be for everyone.

And I believe the best photographs come from the moments you can't recreate. The performer completely consumed by the music. The crowd losing their minds. The laugh between friends when nobody is posing. The split-second expression. The tears, the glitter, the sweat, the beautiful chaos.

The real shit.

If you have an idea you want to bring to life, I'd love to help make it real.

Photography That Doesn't Feel Like a Template

I don't want photography to feel like choosing from a rigid list of packages. Every event, performance, wedding, and creative project has its own personality, its own needs, and its own kind of magic. So I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

Starting at $200

Photography sessions and event coverage start at $200. Every project is different, so the final cost depends on what you're creating, how much coverage you need, and what you want from your photographs.

Tell me what you're creating. Tell me what you need. Tell me what you're imagining. We'll talk about it and figure out what makes sense for you, your event, and your budget.

I believe photography should be accessible without pretending that the work behind it is free. My time matters. My experience matters. My equipment matters. The hours spent shooting, sorting, editing, planning, traveling, and creating matter.

My creativity has value.

My goal is to find a balance that respects both sides of that equation.

No AI. Just Photography.

I do not use generative AI to create or alter the photographs I deliver.

Every photograph starts with a real camera, a real moment, and the work I put into capturing it.

I believe photography has always been about creativity and experimentation. Editing, color grading, compositing, retouching, and manipulating photographs are all tools photographers have used long before generative AI existed. But there's a difference between using creative editing tools and having AI generate the image for you.

I take the photograph. I create the image. I do the work.

What you receive from me is my photography, my editing, and my creative vision — not an AI-generated replacement for it.

What I Love To Photograph

My work lives where people, emotion, creativity, and a little bit of chaos collide.

👑 Drag Shows & Performances
🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ Events & Celebrations
🎸 Concerts, Bands & Live Entertainment
😂 Comedy & Variety Shows
💍 Weddings & Special Celebrations
📸 Promotional Photography for Performers & Creatives

I've had the opportunity to photograph drag performances at Splash Bar in Panama City Beach and The Roundup in Pensacola, along with drag brunches, sing-along bingo, Pride events, weddings, and other live entertainment.

And I'm looking for more. More performers, more bands, more comedians, more weddings, more venues, more community events, and more people making something worth remembering.

I'm especially interested in working with performers, musicians, comedians, venues, event organizers, LGBTQ+ organizations, and couples who want photographs that feel authentic rather than staged.

Because I don't want to make your event look like a corporate brochure. I want you to look at the photographs years later and remember exactly how it felt to be there — the moment a performer owns the stage, the crowd screaming back, the laugh nobody planned, the hand someone reaches for, the look between two people who just got married, or the moment everything comes together for half a second.

Those are the moments I'm chasing. That's what I love to photograph.

What You Get

✨ High-quality, professionally edited digital images

✨ A fast turnaround

✨ A fun, comfortable, and professional experience

✨ Authentic photographs that capture genuine emotion and energy

✨ A photographer who takes the time to understand what you're creating

Most importantly, you get photographs made with the intention of telling the story of your event. Not just proving that it happened.

Making you remember it.

Let's Make Some Evidence.

Have an event coming up? Performing a show? Planning a wedding? Putting together a concert, comedy night, drag brunch, community event, or something completely your own?

Maybe you have an idea that doesn't fit neatly into any of those categories.

Good.

Tell me what you're creating. Tell me what you're dreaming up. Bring me the weird idea, the big idea, the ridiculous idea, or the thing you've been wanting to make real.

I'll listen. We'll talk through what you need, and we'll figure out how I can help bring it to life.

Because I'm not looking for the next event to simply document.

I'm looking for the next thing worth chasing.
