We teamed up with Florida Supreme Court Historical Society for a feature of Justice Macrae in Florida Supreme Court Historical Review Magazine. No one actually knows what Justice Macrae looked like, but we had the opportunity to capture a portrait that represents him. It was our first time in the Florida Supreme Court and we were thrilled to be a part.
We teamed up with Florida Alliance to End Human Trafficking for the feature in Tallahassee Woman Magazine.
I (Alex) had the opportunity to spend the morning with Dr. Kevin Drygas and his family. As a father and business owner, being present with my kids is one of the most important things in the world to me. It was amazing getting to be a “fly on the wall” as Dr. Drygas put the scrubs away and exchanged it for a skateboard. He shared about their journey to Tallahassee and building a business here. He and his practice makes Tallahassee a better place for all the pet owners in out community. We were grateful for Tallahassee Magazine sharing these images!
We were honored to partner with Thomasville Center for the Arts to share the story in THOM Magazine.

Every 2 years, we welcome a new group people to Tallahassee. Between the House and the Senate, there are elections and a new class of legislators come in. The 2021 session was unique because of Covid, but we were grateful for the opportunity to photograph the “freshman” legislators and share some of our favorite local spots and facts about TLH. Thanks again to Florida Politics for including us in this issue of INFLUENCE Magazine.
One of our largest editorial projects to date was traveling around the state of of Florida, capturing portraits of almost all of the 100 Most Influential People in Florida Politics. It was incredible to meet people from all over the state that come to Tallahassee every year for Legislative Session, and learn about what they do and the impacts they make on our daily lives. It also brought perspective to how influential our community is around the state. Thanks to Peter Schorsch for trusting us with this project for INFLUENCE Magazine.
Goals matter. The first of year brings out thoughts of personal and professional goals. One of my goals was to capture an image for the cover of a magazine. I didn’t have a particular subject or publication in mind, but I wanted something that would challenge me to think of “the shot” instead of the entire photoshoot. I had the opportunity to take portraits of US District Attorney Keefe and I was so excited when it became the cover of an issue of 850 Business Magazine.
We had the honor of being the first, non-campaign/administration photographers in the Governor’s Mansion after Governor DeSantis was inaugurated. We partnered with Rowland Publishing to share the story of Florida’s new first family in Tallahassee Magazine, 850 Business Magazine and Emerald Coast Magazine.
On May 2nd, 2019, I spend a little more than half a day with Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey. We meet at the Tallahassee Police Department Headquarters, for a memorial service. Then, I rode with him to the Tallahassee School of Math and Science where he read a few books and had a Fortnite Dance Competition with a class of kindergarteners. We drove the city, talking about growth, development and preservation of the history in our community. Next stop was the Leadership Tallahassee Class 36 graduation and finally to the Bond neighborhood. And that was all before 1:15pm… We partnered with Rowland Publishing to share the story of Tallahassee’s new mayor in Tallahassee Magazine.
Domi Station was one of the places where we first found community when we moved to Tallahassee. Executive Director Lucas Lindsey, Community Manager Sabrina Torres and Director of Incubator Programs Dominick Ard’is have become like family to us. When we got asked to capture people that mean so much to us in a place that means so much to us, we didn’t hesitate. We were honored to partner with Thomasville Center for the Arts to share the story of Domi Station in THOM Magazine.
Often times, our love for the masses hampers our love for the individual. This was the thought that kept going through my (Alex) mind as I keep meeting people in our community who fled for their lives and now call Tallahassee home. At the same time, refugees seem to be a political pawn for both parties, but these are real people who are now our neighbors and we wanted to showcase that. In the spring of 2017, a project called Refugees of TLH was born. We were honored that Professional Photographers of America wanted to share the story of the project in Professional Photographer Magazine.
