Been a few since I’ve Introduced myself, I’m T.J. Drechsel, owner and operator of Drechsel Photography.
I was first drawn to the power of photography when traveling and witnessing beautiful sunrises or sunsets. I was mesmerized with how to translate and freeze such an epic moment to relive again. It took many years to dial in the editing translation in my work. What a great transformation to work on something you love!
Fast forward to today and I get to freeze time for my clients as well. It’s an honor to be part of each life story whether wedding, family, maternity, graduation, wedding, marketing or lifestyle.
If I can help freeze time for you drop me a DM and make sure to follow my other work! TGIF!!!!
