Hi! I’m George.

There is seldom a moment when I am without my camera. It has become so attached to me that it is essentially an extension of my arm. I’m always looking for the beauty in life and I believe imperfection is perfect. Every flaw, every scar, every little thing that makes you who you are is beautiful.

I began my photography career, not as a photographer, but as a digital marketer. Content creation was a pillar of what I offered my clients and photography was a large part of that. I learned that I got more joy out of the photography than I did with any other aspect of my job. I built a series of relationships with some of the biggest names in marketing and they began to hire me to photograph them speaking on stages at conferences around the world. That’s how I became known as a photographer.

I love to capture love. You can actually see love in photos. People don’t think of love as something visible, but when you’re able to capture an image of a family being themselves, the love is in plain sight.

i DON’T LIKE THE TYPICAL PHOTOGRAPHER BUSINESS MODEL

First and foremost, I’m a husband and a father. Much like any family, my family and I pay for photography as well. The thing I have always hated about how photography studios operate is the “here are 30 amazing pictures of your family… now, pick 10” business model. There are a few reasons why I feel so strongly against it. First, it stresses my wife and I out to have to choose photos and lose others just because they’re similar. Second, it angers us when we get the addendum that follows the “pick your 10 favorite” instruction; “if you want to pick more than 10, you may buy them at an additional rate.” They literally hold our family photos hostage. Third, from a business standpoint, it costs the studio money to do that; someone has to go through the photography session photos to pick out the 30 best. That takes time. Then someone has to edit those photos, which also takes time. That time is paid for by the studio. Now, if a family doesn’t want to pay the ransom for the additional photos, what happens to those files? What’s the studio going to do with those files? Delete them? That’s a waste of time and as such, a waste of money!

I work hard to deliver photos that will mean something to you. I don’t want you to have to pick your favorite. I don’t want you to feel like your photos are being held hostage. I don’t want my hard work to be wasted.

i deliver an experience

I’ve been there. I know how it feels to get dressed in uncomfortable clothes, posed stiffly in a hot studio, and awkwardly smiling a fake grin (which is completely obvious in the photo). Happy and relaxed people make better images. It’s science! It’s never my goal to pose you awkwardly and deliver an image of you that is “fake.” I want to capture who you are, when I’m with you. I want you to be you, as you are, because you are amazing!

relaxed and fun sessions that mean something to you

One of the greatest compliments I’ve received is how much fun was had during a session or how relaxed someone felt, even if they don’t normally feel comfortable in front of a camera. Those are typical responses told to me before I’ve even delivered any photos. That’s what drives my passion.

all inclusive pricing

Your session includes a custom and intimate experience, on-location, usually lasting an hour. You will receive all of the high-resolution digital files in a secure digital gallery with at least 75 images to keep and do whatever you want with. Your gallery can also be shared, so you can share your photos with whomever you wish.

For family photography, I also include a complimentary, high-quality, custom album of your session, which I design and deliver for you—I want you to be able to look at your images whenever you want, even if you’re not in front of your digital devices.
