About
I’m a portrait and engagement photographer with 15 years of experience, and light painting is one of my favorite ways to bring images to life. I approach every session as an artist, carefully using light, composition, and emotion to create photographs that feel unique and personal.
Over the years, my work has been displayed in numerous galleries, and I bring that same level of care and creativity to each client I work with. As a one-person studio, you’ll work directly with me from planning through final images, ensuring a consistent, attentive experience.
If you’re looking for portraits or engagement photos that are artistic, thoughtful, and truly one-of-a-kind, I’d be honored to work with you.

He was super professional, knew exactly what he was doing, and made sure my fiancé had no clue he was there to take photos of our engagement. He also made sure our children were apart of or photos. Very kind and friendly!!!!

Excellent service! I planned a surprise engagement and asked him to capture natural photos of us without giving anything away with staged photos after—and he did exactly that. He was punctual, very respectful, and took great care of us throughout the session. On top of it all, the photos turned out amazing.

Sharif did a great job with senior photos for my daughter. We went to the Butterfly pavilion and the pictures turned out amazing. The final edits were great and my daughter used them for the yearbook and graduation but also got some work worthy headshots as well. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience working with Sharif! He was very responsive, and he captured beautiful moments from my roaring 20s themed birthday, taking both excellent candid and posed photos as per my request! Would absolutely recommend working with him!
