Behind the Lens

Welcome! I’m Garret, the photographer behind G|A Photography.

My journey with photography began at the age of 8 when I received my first camera, a Canon PowerShot point-and-shoot. I took it everywhere, capturing everything from family vacations to everyday moments around the house. Over time, my passion for photography grew, and my family took notice. My uncle, recognizing my dedication, gifted me his Sony DSLR, offering me a fresh perspective through the lens. I further honed my skills through high school photography classes, refining my craft and developing a structured approach to editing. After moving to Denver for college, I discovered my love for portrait photography, particularly capturing the personalities and emotions of the people around me — friends, family, and anyone willing to share their story. Upon returning home to Phoenix after graduation, I realized that many of my friends were hitting significant milestones — new jobs, engagements, growing families, and completing degrees. I wanted to be there to help them commemorate these moments and remember them for years to come.

I specialize in portrait photography because it allows me to connect with my subjects and capture their life in a single frame. A well-crafted photograph isn’t just a moment in time; it’s a meaningful representation of who someone is. With a blend of technical expertise and creativity, I’m here to help you document your most meaningful milestones and present you in in the best light.
