About
I like to think of myself as a versatile shooter. While I’ve only been doing photography for nearly 3 years I always seem to find a way to make customers happy. I keep an eye out for good photography locations while I am always learning more. I’m big on relationship building with my clients as I would like it to be a lifelong partnership. I have versatile pricing and I try to make the best out of every shoot.

Akim was incredibly professional. He reached out imeddiately to book the shoot for my engagement and was extremely helpful in brainstorming the best ways to capture it on camera. He did an awesome job editing/retouching the photos as well. I highly recommend!

I was looking for a local photographer that could shoot at the Biltmore and for a good price. After looking at Akim’s reviews and work I sent a message and quickly got a response. He was very upfront about the pricing and helped me understand his process. The day of our proposal he was very responsive and punctual which made the proposal go as planned. Aside from the outstanding photos he took for us, he made taking the photos really fun and we kept thinking of new poses. Highly recommend Akim for any event as he’s personable and does amazing work!

This was not an easy task. Finding and hiring a professional photographer when you’re 1,000 miles away and not familiar with the area. Akim is absolutely amazing. He offered suggestions for the location, colors for my family to wear and worked to ensure I was comfortable with our plans. Akim is professional and completely approachable. Our family ranged from 18 months to 79 years old and he connected to each of us. If the need should ever present itself, I would use Akim again and again. From value to quality- Akim has it all.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Home • Digital or online download • Flash drive • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
