My team and I are dedicated to guiding you through the portrait photography experience, from shaping your vision with an introductory questionnaire, to helping you decide on your favorite one-of-a-kind images from the photo session.
Our first step will be developing the concept of your portfolio. During our phone consultation, you will describe the mood you want your photos to deliver. You might be considering serious and dramatic, relaxed and whimsical, or a combination of both so that you look professional, yet approachable. We will discuss choices for brand colors, backgrounds, and lighting, and explore wardrobe options. For the photo session, you can rest assured that stylists will take care of your hair and makeup. And I promise to coach you through the shoot with posing advice and encouraging words to boost your morale.

As a portrait and headshot photographer serving Atlanta, I have been making masterpieces and memories for my clients for over 10 years. My love for art began in childhood with charcoal portrait sketches, and evolved into a passion for the camera. Now, I aim to provide a modeling experience for everyday people. I use my lens and my artistic eye to invoke stunning images of my clients, who come to my studio just as they are, beautiful and rare, seeking a way to share themselves with the world -- and to have fun at the same time. Together, we form a creative partnership to design a visual narrative that tells their story with emotion and authenticity.

Fathima did my hair and makeup. I had an idea of what I wanted, and she took it to the next level. She was so sweet and made me feel comfortable. Josh was so fun and easy to work with. He kept me laughing and in good spirits throughout the shoot. He is definitely creative and has a incredible eye for photography. I couldn't believe I would love over 60 images of myself!

I cannot recommend Fathima and Josh enough. They are both incredibly talented and have the ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. I have been to many photo shoots with other photographers but none have made me feel like I was on vacation and being pampered like when I am with Fathima and Josh.

I needed new professional headshots for my business and heard about Josh from a friend. I was a little nervous to have someone else take my photos, but Josh was awesome! He kept me comfortable and made sure I looked my best while posing me throughout the shoot. After the session, we had a gallery reveal and I couldn't believe how incredible the final images were! He really captured my personality in each photo.

"It always makes my job easier when I have the opportunity to work with a photographer in an environment where it’s fun and doesn’t feel like work. Joshua does this and so much more as he’s professional yet extremely easy to engage with whilst pictures are being taken. There is no awkwardness as he makes you feel comfortable and at home which translates to great pictures!"

The Process
schedule a call
In a 30 minute phone call, I will ask you questions to uncover your expectations and goals for the photography session. We will talk about color schemes and background options, lighting, wardrobe, and mood.
Together, you and I will evaluate the wardrobe choices already available in your closet. If your own wardrobe does not inspire you, I will recommend a stylist who can inform you where to rent, buy, or borrow items that do.
My team will pamper you with professional hair styling and makeup application before the photo shoot. They are masters at making you feel comfortable in your own skin, and yet reinvented, as ravishing as a celebrity.
As we begin this exciting process, just be yourself -- and I will show you the way. From behind the camera, I will prompt you to try various poses, angles, and expressions to create the most engaging pictures possible.
A SPECIAL PERK IS OUR NEXT-DAY GALLERY REVEAL. I WILL INVITE YOU TO A GALLERY REVEAL TO VIEW THROUGH ZOOM THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER YOUR SHOOT. YOU AND I WILL REVIEW YOUR PHOTOS AND DECIDE ON THE ONES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE.
Now that you have these unforgettable masterpieces in hand, you may want assistance in displaying them for all to see. It would be my pleasure to complete this journey with you by installing your images as custom art pieces in your home.
