With Lexy a couple of weeks ago. I set up a makeshift studio in her living room and we got to work. I’ll be back in the studio (a real studio) this week and I can not wait!

A couple of weeks ago with the talented Megan. A short but fun session.
Starting to believe the Leica hype 🤪

It’s kinda difficult to decide on just 4 at a time. This was a super fun shoot from a couple weeks back at this old, restored gas station in the middle of nowhere.
📸- Leica SL w/ 50mm Summicron-R (1+2) and Sigma 14mm f2.8 (3+4)

Hey, I'm back....
From one of my first portrait sessions in a while. I was pretty burnt out on dealing w/ people wasting my time and just generally being disrespectful. I just need to do a better job of finding and working with people that value me. #portraitphotography #bwportraits

From the last creative portrait session I had. I don’t know if I’ll be working on stuff like this anymore, idk what it is about me that make people not want to work with me. #photography #portraiture

Last weekend at Holl & Stone Farm with the family. I’ve been mostly capturing my day-to-day lately as finding people to shoot with has been a challenge.
Captured on the LUMIX S5 II w/ adapted Zeiss 35mm f2.8 Biogon ZM.

I bought a LUMIX S5 II and then the next day this happens 😅.
Long shot, but if you’re in the Raleigh, NC area, I need to test this thing on a real person. HMU if you’re down for a session of some sort. #winter #photographersunited #ncphotography

At the park, again.
I’d really like to get back into shooting things that I actually want to. But in a full time dad, so I take what I can get.
Straight out of camera from the Fujifilm GFX 50S.

In the back yard with the girls. Taken with the Fujifilm GFX 50S and Pentax 105mm f2.4 lens. I’ve got a 6x7 ordered and I might just get rid of the GFX…. We shall see #fujifilm #rescuedogs #mediumformat #photographersunited

I shot a burlesque show for the very first time. I really didn't know what to expect, but I ended up really enjoying the experience. All I used during this shoot was my Fujifilm GFX 50S and Contax 45mm f2.8 pancake lens. #burlesqueshow #burlesque #raleighnc #fujifilm

With Anu from a couple of years ago. I used to organize boudoir marathons at unique locations. I’d love to do this again, anyone in the Raleigh area down? There would be a small fee to cover the location, but it’d definitely be worth it. #boudoir #boudoirphotography #ncphotographer

A Matrix-inspired session with Sage, all of these were captured using the Leica R8 w/ 90 Summicron-r and Ilford XP2. This was my first serious session with this camera and the photos speak for themselves. #leica #ilfordxp2 #thematrix #blackandwhite #portraitphotography
