Hi!
"I'm Robert—a proud dad, community volunteer, outgoing introvert, and passionate cyclist. My happiness stems from savoring life's simple moments, and I'm on a mission to make a positive impact wherever I go."
My Story
Originating from Memphis, Tennessee, my photography journey began under the roof of an experienced photographer, sparking a profound love for the craft. Those early days were filled with hands-on experiences in capturing and developing film in darkrooms. The next chapter took me to Santa Barbara, where I successfully obtained my bachelor's degree at the esteemed Brooks Institute of Photography.
Fast forward, and I am proud to have accrued over a decade of experience as an active commercial photographer, blending professionalism with a creative edge.
At the core of my values is my unwavering commitment to family. When not behind the lens, my free time is dedicated to actively volunteering for local groups and embarking on camping adventures with our Cub Scout Pack. Our shared passion for cycling and the great outdoors is a cornerstone of family life.
Culver Smiles is part of a heartfelt endeavor to give back to the community that has been so wonderful to our family. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my multifaceted background and love for photography to capture your unique story. Looking forward to connecting and creating lasting memories together.
