When sourcing locations for photography sessions, including holiday portraits, I believe it’s important to experience the space firsthand.

That’s one reason why I attended the Creator Collective Creative Mixer at Studio 82 in Morrow, GA. It was an opportunity to connect with fellow creatives, explore the studio’s beautifully designed Christmas sets, and get behind the camera to see how the space photographs.

Special thanks to JB, Cody, and Nate for bringing together such a talented group of photographers, videographers, models, and creatives!

And a special shoutout to Bee, who stepped in front of my camera in the Frosted Couture Room and absolutely understood the assignment!

Christmas Portrait Sessions with Busy Bee Consulting is coming November 14–15!

Ministry Photography: Storytelling Through a Different Lens.
When I’m behind the camera during a worship service, I’m paying attention to more than lighting, composition, and getting the shot.
I’m also paying attention to the moment itself.
Yes, we’re capturing images for social media, websites, and ministry storytelling. But I believe ministry photography requires discernment, discretion, and integrity.
At my church, we have a photography and video disclaimer informing attendees that they may be photographed or recorded during services. But even with that notice in place, I believe we still have a responsibility to be mindful of what we capture and share.
Capture the pastor preaching. Capture the passion of someone ministering through song. Capture the congregation engaged in worship.
But not every moment requires a close-up.
Someone with their hands lifted in worship can be photographed from behind. Sometimes a wider shot or a different angle tells the story just as beautifully.
And sometimes, you simply put the camera down.
Because people aren’t necessarily there to become content. They’re there to worship, pray, receive ministry, and encounter God.
There’s a difference between capturing emotion and exploiting vulnerability.
For me, ministry photography is still storytelling. It simply requires telling the story through a slightly different lens.
One that honors both the moment AND the person experiencing it.

Had the opportunity to shoot some real estate pictures. Here’s some behind the scenes of me working and the final edits.

BEHIND THE LENS: TEDxAtlanta | Part 3
Day 1 was one for the books!
From powerful presentations to incredible performances, the TEDxAtlanta stage was filled with moments worth capturing.
As the photographer in the auditorium, I had the opportunity to document these moments from behind my lens. And let me tell you, there’s something special about capturing people doing what they were created to do!
This time, I’m taking you beyond the behind-the-scenes footage and sharing some of the actual images I captured throughout Day 1.
Different speakers. Different stories. Different perspectives. All sharing one stage.
And this is just a glimpse! There’s more to come. Be sure to come back for part 4.

Before I photographed TEDxAtlanta… I needed to get familiar with the main room and other spaces.
The day before the event, I headed to the venue for a pre-event walkthrough while the TEDxAtlanta team was busy bringing everything together.

For me, this wasn’t just about knowing where to show up the next morning.

I wanted to see the auditorium, understand where I could shoot from, check out the activation and event spaces, get a feel for the lighting and start thinking through how I would move throughout the venue.

When you’re responsible for capturing moments that only happen once, preparation matters.

And being able to walk into Day 1 already familiar with the space made a HUGE difference.

This was just the beginning.

Next up: TEDxAtlanta — Day 1.

A little BTS of what happens BEFORE event day. 📸
My associate photographer and I will be providing photography coverage for a two-day event next week, and I am SUPER excited about this opportunity!
This call was with one of the event coordinators so we could walk through some of the details ahead of time — the shot list, coverage expectations, logistics, parking passes for both photographers and more.
And with 500+ attendees expected, this is definitely not an event where we want to show up and figure it out as we go. Preparation matters!
Sooooo…what event are we covering? 👀
Watch until the end. 📸

One of my favorite questions so far……
“Why did you call it Reel Concierge?”

The answer is actually pretty simple.

A concierge makes life easier by handling the details.

That’s exactly what I wanted this service to do for busy business owners.

Instead of spending hours trying to edit videos, organize clips, or figure out what to post next...

You capture the moments.

I’ll handle the production.
