a little about me…

Hi, my name is Ayanna! I was born and raised in New Jersey but moved to McDonough, Georgia in the spring of 2024. My first time visiting Georgia was 3 years ago for college where I attended Savannah State University. I instantly fell in love with the essence of the small city, the marsh, and the Spanish moss trees. Taking photos of the beautiful scenery surrounding me is where I started before I began taking portraits.

I have been taking photos for 7 years but have been on a journey the past 3 years to mature in my craft and grow my photography business. Since I was young I’ve always loved going through old family albums and learning the stories behind those special moments carried on for generations through photos. I can still hear my mom yelling down the stairs, “YOU BETTER NOT BE IN THOSE PICTURE BINS”. Of course I was definitely in those picture bins! The ability to capture a moment that can be savored for years and years is why I love being a photographer.

My goal as your photographer is to listen to what you’re looking to get out of your photoshoot, exchange ideas, and combine those ideas to bring that vision to life…Fusion Optics!
