Nashville Photographer

Content Day 2022

And let me tell you… It was COLD!

But also, I’ve been working on a lot of content lately, and trying to build more clientele. So a year ago, I moved back to Decatur (my hometown) and I’ve been working with a lot of my old friends along with some new friends. It was hard to get adjusted back to normalcy after living in Nashville, I’ll move back up there soon hopefully! But back to Content Day, I had a great time at this! My friend Jesi is the best at planning things and I’m grateful that I was apart of this!

All I can say is... what a night!

So what happens when you combine the following: pizza, wine, tattoos, and some playful banter? You get the most sexiest shoot ever. So my friends Kenzie, Josh, and I decide to do a Calvin Klein shoot at home. Some of it was inspired by past shoots I’ve seen, but i wanted to make it my own.

Some photos, i just thought it would be fun to be a little kinky with it, and be a little sexual.

Honestly, i was scared of what people would think if i posted them, but the responses were pretty posititve.

Bodybuilder on the rise!

We all have our own hobbies, dreams,and goals…

But my friend, Colton is living proof that he can achieve the impossible. Only 19, Colton is a fitness model and hopes to show people they have what it takes to push their limit. So, I wanted to do my own version of an ESPN body issue (without the full-frontal nudity lol) for one of my shoots for my Capstone class. I personally believe that the results turned out great.

Labor Day... but make it fashion

So it’s been a while since I’ve been on… but I’m back!

So I’ve been taking time, trying to reinvent myself when it comes to photography, so I wanted to do something fun with my friends and on labor day, I shot at Cornelia For Airpark in East Nashville, and I shot in a far field (almost stepped in cow shit lol) and got some pretty good shots. Most of this shoot was inspired by Peggy Sirota’s 2013 shoot w/ the “ Game Of Thrones” cast modeling fashions so I decided to make it my own.

Brandon Woelfel Inspired Shoot

So as everyone knows, I’m a huge fan of Brandon Woelfel and his photography. I recently got inspired to do a fairy light shoot inspired, and as everyone knows, fairy lights are really cheap and good pricing. So I bought a 2-Pack of fairy lights to use for shoots, and using them with a 75-300mm lens? BIG NO NO! My photography coordinator recommended a 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 lens for the fairy light shoot. So I shot with my best friend, Victoria, and she has a 50mm. I shoot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and as I was shooting these images, they turned out exactly how I wanted them to turn out. Brandon Woelfel is a photographer based in New York City he’s extraordinary when it comes to shooting in low-light. Brandon has done partnerships with Apple, Urban Outfitters, Bose, Macy’s, Buzzfeed, etc.

Brandon’s work is great to use for inspiration and and to give insight too. I think he’ll inspire me more to pursue my dream of photography.

Brandon Woelfel's fairy light shoots has a magical vibe to them. So, I wanted to give him a thank you for inspiring me to shoot more and more everyday. If you want to see more of my Brandon Woelfel Inspired Shoot, Check it out , Victoria
