Wedding and Portrait Photography
As a second shooter for Mike Force Photography—a highly respected professional whose work has graced national magazine covers and who brings over 300 weddings’ worth of experience and a deeply personal service ethos in Coastal Georgia—I contributed to capturing authentic, emotion-rich moments under his expert guidance and trusted brand reputation.

Landscape Photography
I captured landscape and architectural photography throughout the Golden Isles to provide versatile visuals for brochures, websites, social media, and B-roll footage. These images were created to highlight the region’s unique character and serve as a foundation for public relations and marketing campaigns that promote community identity and engagement.

Science & Environmenal Photography
I photographed research, education, and outreach efforts for the University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant at the Brunswick Extension, Skidaway Island Institute of Oceanography, and aboard the Research Vessel Georgia Bulldog. These images were used in fundraising initiatives, public awareness campaigns, community events, educational materials, and promotional content across print and digital channels—including flyers, social media, and websites—to engage the public, support outreach, and highlight the organization’s impact on Georgia’s coast.

Time-lapse video makes it easier for the public and stakeholders to understand how green infrastructure functions, boosting environmental literacy and community support.
Time-Lapse Video
I filmed a time-lapse as UGA installs first large-scale green infrastructure project in Brunswick, GA to visually document the creation of a large-scale green infrastructure demonstration—a 3,000 sq ft facility designed to filter stormwater runoff using native soils and plantings and protect tidal creeks from pollutants. This dynamic visual asset supports public awareness, educational outreach, and PR campaigns by showing the project’s tangible environmental impact in a clear, engaging, and accessible way.

Live Music Photography
I helped organize a weekend-long event attended by more than 200 parishioners where I captured photos of Theodicy Jazz Collective to highlight the energy and spirit of the gathering. As the Director of Communications, documenting this event was more than just taking pictures—it was a strategic public relations effort designed to amplify the experience, extend its reach, and strengthen community ties.
Sharing these images across communications channels offered attendees a way to relive the weekend and gave those unable to attend a sense of connection to the community. By providing visual storytelling that reflected the joy and engagement of participants, I supported both the organization’s reputation and its mission to bring people together through music and faith.

Commemorative Photography
As the Director of Communications for All Saints' Episcopal Church in Atlanta, I was honored to be invited to photograph the tribute to the life of the late Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, held at The Woodruff Arts Center. This invitation was the result of my prior collaborations with media professionals and faith-based organizations in Atlanta, which established the trust and experience.
Archbishop Tutu was a globally revered leader, instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa and a tireless advocate for justice, reconciliation, and human dignity. Documenting this gathering was profoundly meaningful, not only capturing the ceremonial and emotional moments of the tribute, but also reflecting the Diocese’s commitment to honoring his legacy within the local faith and broader Atlanta community.
All images are my own and serve as a visual record for newsletters, digital communications, and social media, helping to extend the reach and impact of the tribute while preserving the memory of a life that transformed the world. They were used by permission for the author of this article and for other purposes throughout the diocese.

Event & Editorial Photography
These photos capture All Saints’ Episcopal Church marching in the Atlanta Pride Parade, highlighting the parish’s visible commitment to inclusion and welcome. By documenting and sharing these moments, I supported outreach efforts, strengthened trust with the broader Atlanta community, and extended the event’s impact beyond the parade through social media, newsletters, and other channels. Participation in Pride served as both public relations and community engagement—demonstrating that “all are welcome” is not just a message, but a lived practice of connection, solidarity, and belonging.

Student Life Photography
At a Title I school where many students lived at or below the poverty line, photographing sporting events, concerts, and other activities was about far more than documenting memories. It was a strategic way to build trust and strengthen community ties. By sharing these images across social media, the school’s website, and in printed posters throughout the building, I elevated the school’s public presence and reinforced its reputation as a place where every student’s achievements are valued.
For parents and families, many of whom faced work schedules or financial barriers that made it difficult to attend events in person, these photos offered families the chance to see and celebrate their children’s successes, even from a distance. At the same time, the images showcased the vibrancy and resilience of the student body, drawing positive attention from the wider community and stakeholders.
This approach to visual storytelling delivered a dual impact: it met families where they were with a sense of pride and inclusion, while also serving as a public relations effort that highlighted the school’s commitment to equity, engagement, and student success. In an environment where recognition can be rare, these images became a powerful reminder that every student deserves to be seen and celebrated.
