DALTON GA PHOTOGRAPHER FOR SENIOR AND SPORTS PICTURES
You deserve more than just “good” photos that impress other people.
And it’s all worth capturing.
As a parent, you watch with pride (and maybe a little disbelief) at how fast your child grows up.
And as a student or athlete, you know the long hours, focus, and dedication behind what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Senior and sports photos aren’t just simple snapshots.
They’re your opportunity to pause time and celebrate more than just how your child looks, but to tell their story, their way.
adds up to who your child is becoming.
Every game, every late-night rehearsal, every weekend spent in the lab or on the field, and every memorable moment with friends
My goal has always been simple: create unforgettable portraits that celebrate real people, their passions, and the milestones that make life memorable.
Growing up, I was both an athlete and a theatre kid…competitive, a little geeky, but always part of a group of friends that played a huge role in who I was.
I played baseball as a kid and was a swimmer in high school. My favorite memories are from playing sports in the yard, working my part-time job at Domino’s, and just hanging out with my core group of friends that I still see every summer. Those moments shaped who I am today and why I love capturing similar moments for others.
Today, I’m husband to Shannon, a 2nd-grade teacher at Westwood Elementary in Dalton, and dad to two amazing kids: Eleanor, 7, who loves cheer and dance, and Henry, 5, a redhead with a big personality who’s all about trucks and football.
As a parent, I’ve experienced how fast the small, most formative moments in my children's lives fly by…and that’s why preserving them through photography is so important to me.
I’d love to help you do the same with your child or athlete, whether they’re the star of the show or quietly confident about something they love.
Your Photographer for Senior and Sports Pictures
I specialize in dramatic, story-driven portraits for high school seniors and athletes.
I started TriStar Visuals Photography in 2024, after years of perfecting my photography skills to be more than a creative outlet outside my 9-to-5 corporate work.

Marshall’s photo experience was outstanding. My daughter had a wonderful time and the pictures were so beautiful. He makes you feel so comfortable and brings out the best in his subjects!

What Senior Photos Would Look Like
If I could go back and work with myself as my photographer for senior pictures, here’s what I would plan…
I was on the swim team, and those hours spent in the water shaped so much of who I was. It’s where I learned discipline, teamwork, and how to push through when things got tough. That definitely deserves a spot in the story.
Then, we’d swing by Domino’s.
And finally, I’d want my friends in the frame.
The guys I spent every weekend with, hanging out at one of our houses, laughing, talking about nothing and everything. Those friendships were the core memories of my high school years.
I’d start at the pool.
Yep, the pizza shop. That’s where I worked, where a lot of people knew me, and honestly, where I ate way too much free pizza. Photos of me tossing dough behind the counter? That was part of my everyday reality back then.
Being a dad–my favorite and most important title
Outside, riding bikes, canoeing, hiking…my family and I love being outside
