About Tohl Designs
My Story
I come from a background in production, where I learned that the best shots happen when technical precision meets the right light and a perfect sense of timing. Today, I use those same skills to help brands find their voice and families capture their most genuine moments. My approach is simple: I believe the most powerful images are the ones that feel honest. Whether I’m navigating a drone for a cinematic aerial view or working one-on-one for a branding session, I focus on connection over heavy posing. I aim to create photographs that feel personal, comfortable, and timeless—images you’ll naturally want to live with for years to come.

I specialize in visual storytelling for brands, businesses, and families who value a natural, relaxed approach. Whether building a professional content library on the ground or capturing a cinematic perspective from the air, my goal is to create honest imagery that feels both personal and timeless.
From elevated branding sessions to documented family milestones, my process is lightly guided and focused on genuine connection rather than heavy posing—resulting in images you’ll want to live with for years to come.

My Work Experience
Prior to focusing on photography, I worked in film and television production, where my work appeared on a number of network and documentary projects. That experience shaped my approach to light, timing, and working comfortably with people in natural environments.
I bring that same production-level precision to my kit today, utilizing high-resolution cameras and professional aerial technology to ensure every project—commercial or personal—is captured with absolute clarity.
My Approach
My approach is relaxed and lightly guided, allowing people to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I take time to understand you or your business so the photographs feel natural and genuine rather than overly posed. The focus is on simple, honest images that reflect real moments.
