About
Photography has been a passion of mine since childhood, first inspired by my grandfather. In high school, I dove deeper into the technical side, and over time, my hobby grew into a true calling capturing authentic, timeless stories through the lens. I’m a proud Irmo/Columbia native, Dutch Fork graduate, and I recently earned my Business Finance degree from the University of South Carolina this past semester. My work is all about image retention ensuring every moment feels real, honest, and unforgettable.
I look forward to telling your story in a way that lasts.

We had a booked photographer that we have worked with before come down with a stomach bug the DAY of an event in SC. Joseph IMMEDIATELY responded to my panic request for someone to jump in and help and was so very responsive, flexible, professional and kind. His photos captured EXACTLY what we needed and he needed exactly zero handholding, even though he had no notice at all to help us out. Would highly, highly recommend! He saved the day!

J.Scott LLC was a joy to work with. He was professional yet personable. He was flexible and moved locations in order to get the shots we wanted. He knew the area and overall I was very pleased and look forward to seeing the finished work. I would recommend him to friends and would book him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
1. To travel I charge .54cents/per mile if it is longer than 10 miles from Irmo/Columbia. Customers can redeem a discount if we share the same Alma Matter (UofSC or DFHS)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally speaking, I get the feel of what you want from me as the photographer. I ask how many people if it is an event or group shoot. If you have a location preference. I ask the attire you plan on wearing. I may ask a lot of questions but none of them are meant to be intrusive, they are meant to ensure I can give you quality photos!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken a couple of photography classes and I have been working with experienced photographers to better my craft.
