you see your career in five years?

facet. I would like to remain in Kansas City. I do a lot of networking between Kansas City and
St. Louis.

you worked with and/or worked for?
I have worked with Lo’Cal Fashion Magazine, Select, Keefe Cravat,
Midwest Black Hair Magazine, and a variety of stylists, make up artist, and designers.
What was
your motivation behind starting your photography business?
I have always liked to make my own decisions and call the shots. It is in my blood. I
got a lot of inspiration from my father. He owns properties and businesses.
How do you
balance your business and personal life?
Prioritutizing time between work and
social life.
What is
your thought process when preparing for a shoot?
First, I open up my mind
creatively. I try to be as creative as possible. I never know what I am going to get or what to expect when arriving at a shoot. Things can change in the blink of an eye.
How long
does it take for you to prepare for a large shoot?
A large shoot would be
with multiple models and stylist. When I work with my personal stylist we have
a small consultation about direction and overall concept. We want to figure
out the foundation of the shoot, scene, and set then build off of that. I like
to work with my stylist, Janaya Stephenson, one-on-one.
