DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY & PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS

Nashville-Based Documentary, Lifestyle, Proposal & Headshot Photographer

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY-

 

Now retired from wedding photography—Thank you for the support and 19 great years. The party is still going. 

 

I offer lifestyle and proposal photography for people who want to document meaningful chapters in their lives.

All cultures, identities, and orientations are welcome. I’m proud to be an LGBT ally, and I believe everyone deserves to have their story documented exactly as they are.

I love the decisive moment of a proposal—the anticipation, the surprise, and especially the reaction of the person who has no idea what’s coming. My job is to help make the experience feel personal and effortless, from choosing the right location to working out the logistics and making sure everything comes together when the moment arrives.

Whenever possible, I prefer locations that don’t require permits or special approvals. Often private venues have strict permit policies— life is too short for bureaucracy.

 

 

 

HEADSHOTS-

 

 

Whether you’re pursuing a new career, updating your professional image, or building a creative brand, I provide professional headshots designed to be quick, relaxed, and stress-free—even if you don’t feel particularly photogenic.

I’m a local photographer with a modest studio, and that’s intentional. My goal is to make getting a headshot easy for people who don’t want the process to become a daunting production. Studio and on-location sessions are available, with proofing and tasteful professional retouching included.

I also believe headshots don’t need to be complicated. You get a straightforward session, a simple selection process, and the images you actually need.

And no, I don’t use AI to retouch. I prefer to use the skills I've cultivated over the years and maintain quality control. I've got you.

I’m a Nashville-based photographer specializing in documentary, lifestyle, proposal, and headshot photography.

These days, I’m focusing on the parts of photography I enjoy most: meaningful moments, genuine reactions, people being themselves, and creating images without making the experience unnecessarily complicated.

Whether you’re planning a proposal, documenting a meaningful chapter of your life, or simply need a great headshot without the usual production, I’m here to make it easy.

ABOUT JAY

 

I’ve spent nearly three decades behind a camera, and photography remains my creative passion. That experience taught me to pay attention—to people, to light, to the little moments that happen without being directed. 

These days, I’m bringing that same approach to lifestyle photography, proposals, and headshots. I’m interested in photographs that feel genuine rather than manufactured, and experiences that are relaxed rather than overproduced.

I’m not interested in turning a simple photo session into an event. Whether I’m documenting a proposal, creating lifestyle photographs, or making a professional headshot, I want the process to be straightforward, comfortable, and true to you.

I still believe good photography comes down to observation, anticipation, and knowing when to press the shutter. The party’s still going.

Justin & Brooke

Jay did a great job with my proposal to my girlfriend! He was there all along the way from planning, to getting down on one knee and even when things didn't go as planned we still got some amazing photos that we will cherish forever. He went above and beyond what I would have expected. We are truly grateful for his work and would recommend him to anyone thinking of taking that next big step in life.

Jay is very good at what he does. He explained the process and made it easy, and efficient. My headshots came out perfect. Will use him in future as well.

Eric & Alyssa

From Eric: Alyssa said while crying happy tears "Hands down greatest photos of us—Thank you for the great job on our proposal photographs!

I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU. CONTACT ME TODAY!
