Portfolio samples

My first client as a freelance photographer was Marsha Magdalene, an entrepreneur and business owner of Bread - A Pop Up Shop at Maplewood Mall. I have documented and photographed three events for her over the past year and the most recent was a fashion show. I worked on product photography and portraits. I have also worked with my barber, Robert Nabors, who owns Nabors Cuts at Sola Salon in Maplewood. I have documented cosmetology and Barber classes for the last 10 months and recently traveled with his family to Las Vegas, Nevada for family portraits and some product photography.
