Back in 2016 I walked into the Atlanta Apparel Mart with a camera, no portfolio, and honestly no idea what I was doing.
Courtney & Carole gave me a chance anyway.
They trusted me to photograph their clothing line, work with models, and even plan events around their brand. I thought I was just helping friends and learning as I went… but looking back, that day quietly built my career.
The McNeil Collective didn’t start with a business plan.
It started with people believing in me before I believed in myself.
Some people don’t just support you — they change the direction of your life.
Nostalgia is real, and I’m still grateful.
If you’ve ever trusted me to photograph a moment for you, just know I don’t take that lightly. I know what it means to be given a chance, and now I get to give that same care back to others.
Currently booking 2026 sessions & branding shoots. Message me or email [email protected] to reserve your date.
