About Grey
I am a photographer specializing in both digital & film mediums based out of the southeast U.S., but traveling often. I was born and raised in Atlanta and currently call Nashville home, where I am pursuing a Master of Divinity to study photography as an instrument for empathy, care and transformation. When I’m not behind a camera or working on my degree, I like to spend time playing with my rescue puppy, hosting loved ones at my dinner table, reading & writing, sitting in the sun, and trying my hand at growing herbs.
I have been a photographer for as long as I can remember, but professionally, I have been documenting love & people & stories for over 6 years. In 2023 I was recognized for my work in the documentary photography world as a selected attendee of the Chico Portfolio Review. My love for this work has been a constant throughout my life – it is an extension of who I am, how I think, and how I see the world. Thank you for being here.
Approach
My background in traditional darkroom and documentary photography grounds the approach I take to this work. These traditions taught me that photographs are never neutral; they are always selective, subjective, in dialogue. Which is to say that I believe photography is a way of knowing and being.
I am endlessly inspired by photography’s challenge to translate what is often invisible – stories, sounds, memories, emotions – into something visual. I look for light & texture, tension & stillness, connection & closeness, movement & pause, gentleness & vulnerability. I look for humanity and imperfection. In this sense, I believe that photography is fundamentally a practice of presence, empathy and paying attention.
When I’m holding a camera, my attention is guided by one question: what is interesting and beautiful here?
And throughout my years of photographing both personally and professionally, I’ve found that everywhere I turn there are limitless answers to this question. These things do not have to be curated as much as they have to be noticed. Which is to say: I believe that my job as a photographer is to observe, be fully present, and document truth and feeling as it organically unfolds all around me. I tend to avoid posing and intervening while I photograph — instead, I focus on inviting my subjects to just experience the moment as it is. I strive to create photographs that testify to what feels real and true and alive — genuine emotion, real memories — these are priceless, fleeting things.
I’ve found that the only thing I need from my subjects is their trust. There is infinite goodness and beauty all around us — we just have to pay attention to it.

“Do stuff — be clenched, curious — not waiting for inspiration’s shrug or society’s kiss on the forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others; it makes you eager. Stay eager.”
Susan Sontag
“Grey is deeply committed to providing such a personalized, intentional experience that captures the beauty of each person. She commits herself to knowing you as a whole person before she picks up the camera and that makes all the difference. Grey cares about the relational aspect of art and that is precisely why she is an outstanding photographer and human. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a photographer who brings out the best in you in every shot. My wife and I are so incredibly pleased with our wedding photographs and the relationship we have formed with her!” Mattie & Brennan
“Grey is a storyteller. She captures you—not the idea of you, not even the facade that we sometimes are tempted to put up—she captures the story of the soul in front of her. She captures people in all their glory. She reminds us of how good we are in the art she creates. Grey doesn't just take pictures, she tells stories — she has immortalized our family in pictures that we will treasure for years to come. Not to mention she makes people feel so comfortable, so at home in her photography." Abby & Taylor
"Grey is so easy to work with and is seriously SO sweet! She took the time to really figure out what moments we wanted to capture on our big day and was incredibly organized. She took the time to make a personalized vision board on Pinterest so before our wedding day I knew we were both on the same page. Grey worked on our schedule and was so flexible. I feel like when you get married you’ve got a billion things you have to think about and I was so scared I’d LOOK frazzled on my wedding day, but Grey was amazing and I felt like I didn’t have to worry about making certain photos happen. She took care of everything and did an AMAZING job capturing Cody and I and our relationship which was my top priority! She’s so sweet and was great to work with. She takes her business seriously and does great work!" Kayla & Cody
