Meet Cole

When the pandemic hit, I was furloughed from my job in social media marketing and graphic design. Two months later, I picked up my camera and started Perfect Shot Photography. Indoor sessions weren't an option back then, so I took everything outside, photographing seniors, families, and newborns in the parks and neighborhoods around Raleigh. Word spread, and the work grew with it into weddings, cars, products, and brands.

What hasn't changed is why I do it. Photography has always been about community for me, from covering school events to volunteering behind the camera for youth leadership programs. I'd rather learn your story than hand you a checklist, which is why every session is shaped around the person, family, or business in front of the lens.

Travel is the other thread running through my life (it's literally inked on my skin). This fall it brought me to Annecy, France, where I'm spending the semester through December, shooting the lake, the Alps, and the old town streets whenever I get the chance. I'll bring all of it home to North Carolina, and I can't wait to put it to work for you.
