Imagery that CONNECTS.

Hey there! I’m Dreshawn, a self-taught photographer based in Washington, DC with over 6 years of experience in photography,
and graphic design. I specialize in brand and lifestyle photography.

I help take your idea from thoughts to reality with photography that connects and tells a story as an entrepreneur or business.

“Dre Hayes Creative is one of the best media companies I’ve ever encountered. He was communicative, organized, and professional in every way. He respected our time and chose a great location for the shoot. Lastly, the images and video are some of the best in my portfolio. I look forward to collaborating with him again!”

About Me

We meet again!

You see me behind the lens, but it wasn’t like this all the time. I studied Graphic Design in a four year university just to end up leaving early due to life changes. I was forced to grow, and grow up quickly. While working a 9 to 5 for 6 years, I also run my photography business with a passion to curate visual stories.

What motivates me? Being PURPOSEFUL. Being driven to meet goals despite of my current position.

Using my advanced capabilities from self-taught practices, I have a flair for creating warm and powerful visuals to capture my subjects authentic self. This drives my passion to be a visual storyteller.

Fellow creators, if you are interested in collaborating to create exceptional content, I'd love to hear from you:

hello@drehayescreative.com. 

Looking forward to creating with you!

WORKING WITH ME IS LIKE…

SCHEDULING CONSULTATION

We start out with a huddle call when a inquiry is submitted to see if we are a perfect fit for your needs. You will be given a questionnaire to complete prior to the call so that we can understand more about your brand or business. We will also go through your quoted price for the service in which you choose and additional fees that will be added.

ONBOARDING AND PLANNING

After we have decided that Dre Hayes Creative is the perfect fit for your brand or business. You are now in the planning stage where you will have homework, yes homework! And need to complete to ensure the success of your shoot. We work in collaboration to maximize the creativeness. During this period, we also have two 45 minute huddle calls to discuss your prop use, creative direction, location, and schedule your photo session.

POST PRODUCTION

After the shoot, you’ll receive your proofs for reviewing and select which images you would like to be edited. Please refer to our FAQs page for turn around times for each service. During this final stage, you will be offboarded and receive your final images via an online gallery for download.
