Meet your Photographer

A little about me: I've had a camera in my hand since the age of 5. I started Hacker Medias in 2013 with a vision from God during a leave from my full-time job at the time. I started with a small seed of faith and here we are now! Twelve years later, still capturing YOUR families moments that will last forever! <3

As a kid I flipped through my grandparents photo albums over & over. I was always amazed to see how things looked "back then" along with seeing generations of family members I would never get to meet. Memories fade but portraits and the emotions I capture last forever.

I'm also a freelance photographer for City Scope Magazine and a two-time BEC Award winner for Best Photographer in Chattanooga and now Hall of Fame Inductee. I don't say that to brag — I say it because it means the community I serve has shown up for me, and I don't take that lightly.

When I'm not behind the lens you'll find me hosting game nights and cookouts, painting custom sets in the studio, pulling pranks on the people I love, or somewhere on the road with my family cheering on our kids. I'm silly, I'm creative, I'm driven — and once you're in my world, you're family.

If any of this sounds like your kind of person — I'd love to be your photographer. Let's make something beautiful together.
