I'm Bert

Two important things first: I love to cook & I love cameras. [Maddie & Nutmeg if you're reading this I love you also] Most of the time those two passions collide and the resulting combination shows up online and the kitchen is a mess.

My parents owned a photo and framing studio when I was younger so I grew up around cameras and photography. I like to think it’s in my blood. I moved to Nashville in the summer of 2015 immediately after graduating from Tennessee with a degree in Advertising and spent a little over three years at Volunteer Traditions working on their marketing, branding, and photography. In the fall of 2018 I transitioned to the newly-created Social Media & Marketing Supervisor position at J. Alexander’s Restaurants corporate office where I was able to bring all creative production in-house. I spent over 3 years shooting photos and filming for all 47 restaurants across the country, even starting their YouTube channel from scratch. Every day I strive to fuse my camera and food passions into one force for good.

While I do love shooting and filming on the ground, I’m also a certified Part 107 Remote Pilot, so I’m permitted and registered with the FAA to fly drones less than 55 lbs. commercially and request temporary authorization to operate in controlled airspace. Recently, the FAA has taken a more serious stance on drone operation, and these certifications are now required to operate outside of a hobbyist environment. I am excited to offer that service since it can add so much to a production.

Thanks for stopping by and for reading this far. I encourage you to check out the site, and if you find something you like, follow me on Instagram. If you find something you really like or want to talk about booking for your company/recording session/dog's birthday, check out the contact page and let's talk! Currently I don't shoot weddings, but that might change one day and then I'll get to delete this sentence.
