New Brand!!!

As a photographer, it can be difficult to discover the kind of image that you want to define your business. I went through so many changes through the year and had a difficult time discovering what my footprint would look like in this industry. Towards the end of the year, I met with my friend Erik, who saw how lost I felt. He told me to find my passion, show what I wanted to shoot, and get branded. I am happy to say that I have done, and am doing those things. I am beyond happy about it!

In November, I met with Mike from Kharmik, and we began the process of branding my business. He is excellent at what he does. I told him who I am and what I’m about. We quickly found something that would end up representing me through my business. I come from a completely broken past which God redeemed and restored. Although I was abused and neglected as a child, my dad fought for me, sacrificed for me, helped me become the man I am today and led me to my Savior who would ultimately strengthen and save me from a difficult past. I wanted to understand why things were the way they were. I wanted to be saved. God would save me, and I live today to tell the world about it.

So to make a LONG story short, after we threw “Ray” of light on the table we discovered a symbol of hope; a lighthouse. It stuck like glue. I live to be a light in this dark world and I want that to resonate within the borders of my business.

I consider myself a lifestyle photographer. I will primarily be shooting high school seniors and weddings. I also hope to find myself traveling to another country this year to show what goes on outside of what we know and how we live. Documenting what life looks like for those who live with a lot of hope and much joy with such limited resources.

So after rambling way more than usual, my new brand is the start of my updates and changes. Look for a new portfolio site, new client sites, better ordering process, sample albums, and PHOTOS! Here is a preview…
