Some legacies are inherited. The special ones keep evolving.

At 17 years old, Jamie Hawkins is beginning to add his own chapter to a remarkable musical family story.

His father, Walter Jamie Hawkins, has carried the Hawkins tradition forward as a producer, musical director and pastor. And his grandparents, Walter and Tramaine Hawkins, are names woven deeply into the history of gospel music.

That’s quite a mantle for a young man to inherit.

But what I enjoyed about photographing Jamie is knowing that this isn’t simply a story about where he comes from. It’s also about where he’s going.

He’s already begun pursuing his own career producing music—taking the foundation passed down through generations and beginning to shape it into something of his own.

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph different generations of this musical family, and there’s something special about watching the story continue through my lens.

The legacy moves forward. 🎶📸

Imagine your portrait 40 inches tall on a wall.

That’s something I think about when I’m creating.

We live in a world where most photographs are viewed for a few seconds on a phone and then disappear into a camera roll or social media feed.

I want to create something different.

A portrait with enough presence to become part of your home. Something personal enough to mean something to you and strong enough to stand on its own as artwork.

Here are a few more of my favorite black & white portraits from over the years.

Bold. Personal. Timeless.

Your portrait deserves more than a screen.

Some photographs are meant to be posted. Others deserve a wall.

Over the years I’ve created thousands of portraits, but there’s something about black & white that continues to pull me back.

Without color, everything comes down to the person, the light, the expression and the moment.

My goal isn’t simply to give my clients beautiful photographs. I strive to create at least one image from a session that feels iconic—something you’d be proud to print large, frame and make part of your home.

Here are a few of my favorites from over the years.

Which one would you put on your wall?

A great client relationship isn’t always built from one photoshoot.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph through maternity, birthdays, branding sessions, creative concepts and mobile content shoots.

Every session had a different purpose—and that variety is exactly what I want MooD-ology Photography to provide.

I don’t want to simply be the photographer you call when you need a headshot. I want to be someone you can trust when it’s time to celebrate, build your brand, reinvent your image or document another chapter.

Take a look at a few of the chapters we’ve created together.

I’m currently accepting a few sessions for this week and weekend. Message me and tell me what you’d like to create.

I took a couple weeks away from posting, but the studio hasn’t lost its MOOD. 📸

What if your next portrait looked less like a photo… and more like a piece of art?

Some portraits capture what you look like.

The best portraits capture who you are.

Here’s a collection of black & white images that remind me why timeless photography never goes out of style. My goal is always to create portraits you’ll want to see hanging in your home—not just stored on your phone.

If you’ve been thinking about creating artwork of yourself or someone you love, I’d love to help bring that vision to life.

Message me to start planning your portrait session.

Your headshot doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s.

This medical resident came in needing a professional portrait for work.

Before she left, we created something that looked like it belonged in a magazine.

Same session.
Two different purposes.
Both authentically her.

That’s what I love about portrait photography.
