About
I'm Lyle, a Savannah family photographer, Army veteran, and a dad myself, which is exactly why families book me: I know how to keep kids relaxed and parents at ease so the photos actually look like you. I've spent 25 years behind the lens and photographed hundreds of families and clients across the Lowcountry. Family sessions are my focus, but I genuinely love shooting couples, engagements, and portraits too with the same natural, easygoing approach. Whether it's on the beach at Tybee, under the oaks at Wormsloe, or in historic Savannah. Background-checked, five-star rated, and easy to work with. Whether it's your first family session, an engagement, or a yearly tradition, I'll make it easy, fun, and something you'll want to print. Let's tell your story.

Lyle was amazing to work with! We had a big group for family photos and he managed all of us so well, including 6 young kids! The experience was wonderful and the pictures are amazing! They will hang on our walls for years to come! I would highly recommend him!
