About
Hi, I’m Rodney!
I specialize in creating relaxed, natural, and beautiful portraits for graduating seniors and growing families.
My photography style is bright, true-to-life, and focused on genuine emotion. I believe the best photos happen when you’re comfortable, having fun, and just being yourself. From milestone senior years to yearly family traditions, I’m here to help you preserve the moments that matter most.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me smoking a brisket, scouting new outdoor locations, or hanging out with my family and friends.
I can’t wait to work with you and tell your family’s story. Let’s create something beautiful together!

What a wonderful experience we had with Rodney. He was amazing with the grandbabies! We had so much fun and he was able to capture so many candid moments. He was wonderful! He took the pictures on a Saturday and sent them to us Monday so we appreciated the time he put into getting them to us so quickly. We have now officially hired him as our family photographer from this moment forward

Rodney did an amazing job for my proposal shoot. He captured some great candids, and was willing to do a full shoot around the park afterwards. The photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend.

Rodney came to take engagement photos for my fiancée and I at Ault Park. He was on time, able to improvise, and got excellent shots while letting us have our moment!

Rodney was very polite and guided the subject through various poses with multiple backdrops. The pictures turned out very goodas well. Best quality for the price around Cincy.
