Portraits Start With People

I’m David, a portrait and editorial photographer based in Savannah, Georgia. My work is rooted in my life-long fascination: people. The way we carry ourselves. The way we show up. And the unscripted moments that reveal who we really are.

Photography (for me) isn’t about making someone look “perfect.” It’s about capturing what’s true… and helping to reveal the best of my subjects.

Style and Philosophy

My style is clean, natural, and a little nostalgic. Editorial, but never cold.

I aim for:

  • Character over Performance

  • Story over Polish

  • Presence over Perfection

I believe the best images feel lived-in.

I aim for genuine collaboration, shared confidence, and composition that flatters without faking it. Whether I’m working with a local brand, a family, or someone celebrating a new chapter in their life, my goal is always the same: create portraits that feel honest.

What I Offer

No matter the session, you’ll get a clear, comfortable process and images that feel like you.

  • Signature Portrait Sessions
    Thoughtful, editorial-style sessions built around storytelling and connection.

  • Mini Sessions
    Quick and easy but still intentional—great for headshots or just plain fun.

  • Family & Couples Shoots
    Lighthearted and relaxed, designed to capture the messy, beautiful in-betweens.

  • Senior Portraits
    Real, expressive portraits that celebrate identity, not just accomplishment.

How I Work

I keep things simple.

We start with a short consult so I understand what matters to you. Then we find a spot that fits, somewhere with good light and energy. During the shoot, I’ll guide you just enough, but leave space for the real stuff to surface. That’s where the magic lives.

Editing is minimal, intentional. I don’t retouch people beyond recognition. I believe your face tells a story worth keeping.

If You’re Into...

  • Photos that feel like memories, not marketing

  • A process that’s calm, thoughtful, and human

  • Working with someone who actually cares about what makes you you

… then you’re exactly who I want to work with.

Beyond the Camera

When I’m not shooting, I’m usually wandering downtown Savannah, catching soft light through alleyways, talking with strangers, or building things with my hands. I also run Waxed Grooming Co. - a small batch beard balm brand built around care, camaraderie, and doing things the right way, not the easy way.

Both brands come from the same place: attention, intention, and a deep belief in the good stuff.

Let’s Make Something Together

If you’re looking for portraits that reflect who you are—not just how you look—I’d love to work with you. Check out the portfolio, or reach out here. I’ll bring the camera. You bring yourself.
