Capturing Authenticity and Beauty in Oklahoma City

For the last 2 years, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph local business for The Scout Guide in Oklahoma City. It has been an incredible experience getting to connect with so many local business owners, creatives, people who run the places that we cherish in this community… So much of what I love about photography comes down to connecting with others, and shooting for The Scout Guide has been the perfect opportunity for that.

Here is an excerpt from my recent feature in The Scout Guide. Click here to read the full feature.

“AJ officially formalized his photography company in 2019 as a full-time business, with a mission to "create space for all people to be authentically themselves." His philosophy is centered on the belief that every person is uniquely beautiful, and he is committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone to be themselves. For AJ, the key to getting an authentic photo is to connect with the person in front of the lens, and he prides himself on his ability to build genuine connections with all of his clients, no matter the nature of the session.

AJ’s ability to connect with his clients and make them feel at ease in front of the camera truly sets him apart from other photographers. Many of his clients have remarked that they've never seen themselves in such a beautiful way, which is a testament to his talent as a photographer and ability to create a comfortable and positive environment for his clients. This superpower has helped AJ build a loyal client base and reputation as one of the best photographers Oklahoma City has to offer. 

Whether he is shooting luxury portraits for business clients or working on creative and special projects for individuals, AJ is a true celebrator of humans and a valuable member of the Oklahoma City community.”

Thank you to The Scout Guide for the ongoing support of me and my business!
