BKBS — Sports & Portrait Photography Through BKBS, I provide professional, sports, athlete portrait, event, and branding photography and videography for athletes, teams, coaches, and businesses looking to elevate their visual presence. My experience includes supporting commercial productions for major brands and working in collegiate athletics digital media, bringing a professional production mindset to every shoot. I work closely with clients to create bold, polished imagery designed for social media, personal branding, recruiting, marketing, and promotional campaigns. Whether it's an athlete preparing for competition, a team building its identity, or a brand creating its next campaign, my focus is simple: make the subject look as professional, powerful, and memorable as possible.

Photography Assistant

Nov 2024 - Feb 2025 • 3 mos

Working alongside Iconic X Design, a Dallas-based production company trusted by major brands, businesses, and high-profile clients, gave me the opportunity to experience professional commercial photography from behind the scenes. As a Photography Assistant, I supported a variety of productions involving brands and organizations such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, the Dallas Cowboys, CeeDee Lamb, NUR Coffee, and other major commercial clients. I gained hands-on experience working in fast-paced production environments where preparation, attention to detail, professionalism, and the ability to adapt on set were essential. From assisting with equipment and lighting to helping photographers execute creative concepts and capture polished visual content, I was exposed to the full production process—from setup and coordination to the final execution of a professional shoot. More importantly, the experience taught me what it takes to create imagery at a commercial level. Working around professional photographers, athletes, brands, creative directors, and production teams strengthened my understanding of lighting, composition, set etiquette, client expectations, and the importance of delivering consistent, high-quality work under pressure. This experience continues to influence my approach to photography today: creating intentional, powerful images that make athletes, brands, and businesses look as professional as they truly are.
