Meet the Artist

Hi, I'm Jordan.

I'm a grad, branding, studio, and lifestyle photographer based in the DMV, and my whole approach comes down to one idea: your moment, my lens.

I make it my job to help you feel completely at ease, because that's when the real images happen. No awkward "say cheese," no stiff poses. Just you, looking like the best version of yourself, in photos you'll actually want to print.

  • Relaxed, direction-on-the-day shooting style

Kind Words

Clients say it best

★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on Google
"10's across the board! This was my first shoot ever so I was so nervous, but he told me not to worry and gave me a lot of poses. My raw images were fire, and the edits were flawless. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further, trust me!"
Jenene Preston · 30th Birthday Shoot
"Jordan is an exquisite photographer with insane talent and knowledge about photos. His undying will to ensure my pictures came out exactly how I wanted is something I'll forever be grateful for."
Ian Tolson · Portrait
"I've booked 2 times and each time was more than amazing, the only person I trust with my pictures! He brings positive energy with him which creates a comfortable environment. Would 1000% recommend!"
Cyprus Allen · Repeat Client
"From the onset he was professional and responsive. His rate is comparable to most, and you get far more than what you pay for. I am always happy to support a young, gifted, Black-owned business."
Dr. Bernadette Boozer · Content Shoot
"For it being my first ever photoshoot, Jordan made me feel extremely comfortable and even told me some poses to do. He took us to different settings for the best possible pictures. I couldn't be happier!"
Obi Obidegwu · First Shoot
"I booked him for my senior prom. He's very understanding and very flexible. I had the biggest inconvenience on prom day and he still took the time to be patient with me and got the job done. Absolutely loved it."

Good To Know

Frequently asked

How does booking work?

Fill out the inquiry form below and I'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability and the right package. From there I send a simple contract and deposit link to lock in your date, all in one secure place through HoneyBook.

What types of shoots do you offer?

Grad, branding, studio, and lifestyle sessions are my specialties, plus custom and commercial work. Not sure which fits? That's exactly what the consultation is for.

How fast will I get my photos?

Your full gallery is delivered within 24 hours so you can start making your selections right away. Your edited photos come back within 3-4 days on standard packages and 4-5 days on others. Your exact turnaround is always confirmed at booking.

How do I receive my gallery?

Everything is delivered through Pixieset, a private online gallery. You'll get a link to browse, select, and download your photos. No app downloads or extra accounts needed.

Can I select which photos get edited?

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You receive your full gallery first, go through it on Pixieset, and mark the ones you want edited. I take it from there.

What's the difference between retouching and creative edits?

Standard retouching is included in every package: color grading, skin retouching, and stray hair removal. Creative edits go further: digital background swaps, text overlays, removing people from the frame, composites, and other heavy Photoshop work. Creative edits are available as an add-on and priced based on the request.

Can I bring people to my shoot?

Of course. Feel free to bring friends or family for support. I keep it to 4 people max so the session stays relaxed and runs smoothly without distractions.

Do you travel outside the DMV?

Yes, I'm based in the DMV but shoot beyond it regularly. Travel is quoted case by case and always agreed up front.

What if I need to reschedule?

No stress. We'll reschedule to the next available date at no extra charge for weather or genuine emergencies.

No Surprises

Booking policies

I keep things simple and upfront, so you know exactly what to expect from the moment you book.

01Deposit & payment

A 50% deposit secures your date and applies directly to your session fee. The remaining balance is due right after your session.

02Rescheduling

Give at least 72 hours' notice and your deposit can roll over toward a future booking. Cancellations made inside 72 hours forfeit the deposit as a cancellation fee.

03On-time arrivals

Sessions are often booked back-to-back, so your shoot still ends at the originally scheduled time, meaning arriving on time gives you the most out of your session. If you're more than 30 minutes late without notice, it's treated as a no-show and the deposit is forfeited.

04Travel

Locations within 25 miles of Upper Marlboro, MD are travel-free. Beyond that, including Baltimore, a travel add-on is available at checkout. Just reach out for a quote.

05Location entry fees

If your chosen location charges an entry fee, that cost is covered by the client.

06Photo rights

You receive full personal rights to print and share your gallery. I retain the right to use the images in my portfolio, on social media, and in marketing materials.

07Refunds

Deposits are non-refundable. In the rare event I have to cancel for unforeseen circumstances, your deposit is fully refunded or moved to a new date, whichever you prefer.
