About the Photographer

From the Stage to the Lens: Capturing Life’s Rhythm

Photography... it’s not what I thought at all. After 20 years in the gospel music arena and a decade in radio, I thought my life’s work was purely in sound. But moving from Buffalo to New Haven changed the beat.

While music is my first love, I discovered that I don't just want you to hear a moment—I want you to see it forever.

Why I Do What I Do

What drew me to this art was the power to freeze time. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a new face in my studio, I’m looking for the visual trigger—that raw, genuine emotion that can bring back a rush of memories in a single glance.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful

I’ve traded the microphone for the camera, but my goal remains the same: to move people. I’d love to help you create lasting memories that you’ll look back on for years to come.

Your Confidence-Boosting Experience

A session at Blaqpearl Studio is more than a photoshoot—it’s a curated experience designed to elevate how you see yourself. From professional makeup artistry to thoughtfully styled wardrobe direction, every detail is intentional and tailored to your unique essence.

Our signature approach blends refined lighting, effortless movement, and authentic emotion to create imagery that feels both powerful and timeless—portraits that don’t just capture you, but reveal you.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, creating a meaningful gift, or stepping boldly into a new season, this experience is designed to leave you feeling confident, radiant, and undeniably seen.
