Capturing Life's Authentic Moments.

Preserving your milestones with artistry and care, from the biggest celebrations to the unscripted beauty of your everyday life.

Photography without the pretense.

Since 2012, I’ve operated Pear Tree Photography Atlanta with a simple belief: people matter more than categories.

You aren't just a "booking" or a "client type"—you are a person with a story that deserves to be told with honesty and intention. I don’t just show up and press a button on a camera; I spend time getting to the heart of why you’re here. Whether you need to command a boardroom or document a decade of marriage, I’m here to bridge the gap between who you are and how the world sees you. No heavy filters. No trendy presets. Just you.

Choose Your Story

While people are my priority, I know you’re here for a specific milestone. Find the path that fits your needs:

Professional Headshots

Strategic, efficient imagery for leaders and entrepreneurs who value their time.

Families & Milestones

Documentation of who you are as a family today. No forced perfection—just the authentic connections you actually share.

High School Seniors

Celebrating the transition from who they’ve been to who they are becoming—no stiff poses allowed.

Couples & Engagements

Unscripted connection for those who want real moments, not forced smiles.

LGBTQ+ Weddings & Portraits

Capturing your story and your milestones with the honesty, intention, and respect they deserve.

Weddings

Artfully documenting your history as it happens.

Part ninja. Part bestie. Zero pretense.

I believe that documenting your life as it actually happened is the greatest gift you can give your future self. From the loud, chaotic celebrations to the quiet, unscripted reality of your everyday, I’m here to create art that tells the truth. You’ve worked hard to build this life; I’m here to make sure its substance and its beauty are never forgotten.

Don’t just take my word for it.

I could tell you all day about my Zero Pretense approach, but I’d rather you hear it from the people who have stood in front of my lens. Spoiler alert: The process is painless, and they love their portraits.
