Get to know the photographer
Family & Lifestyle
If we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Clae. I’m married to an exceptional wife and the proud father of three beautiful children. I’m a devout Christian who holds Jesus in high esteem.
I find immense joy in coffee and reading books. My wife and I are podcasters, and we host the podcast “In it for the Overhaul.” Additionally, I embarked on my photography journey in 2014 when I purchased my first camera, the Samsung NX300. I carried it everywhere, capturing every fleeting moment one photograph at a time. I discovered that I genuinely enjoyed this endeavor and eventually established my photography business.
The love and passion for my work have grown exponentially.
A pivotal moment came when I realized that my photography wasn’t just a hobby but an integral part of my identity. This realization brought me immense joy. While it’s been a challenging journey, with numerous obstacles to overcome, we’ve successfully established our business. Glory to God for our accomplishments!
Coffee, Drums & Books
A Little About Me
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been playing drums since I was just 3 years old, and what started as a childhood passion has taken me on quite the journey. From music conventions and camp meetings to playing with different worship bands, drumming has given me countless memories, opportunities, and experiences that I’m incredibly grateful for.
At 12 years old, I took my first formal drum lessons, eager to learn everything I possibly could. It didn’t take long for me to fall even deeper in love with the art of drumming. Since then, it’s been one wild ride—and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
When I’m not behind a drum set, you’ll probably find me with a cup of coffee in my hand. My coffee addiction has definitely gotten the best of me, and I absolutely LOVE pumpkin spice. I’d like to think I can call myself a barista at this point! ☕️
Over the last four years, I’ve also discovered a love for reading. There’s something about getting lost in a good book and completely forgetting about the world for a while. I’ve especially come to love Colleen Hoover’s books—her writing has a way of keeping me up way too late, completely freaking out over what’s going to happen next.
Golf and baseball have also been a big part of my life. I enjoy the simple things and have a soft spot for anything that feels timeless, elegant, and intentional. I love decorating for fall, putting together fall and winter outfits, and, honestly, I can never have too many flowers around.
At the end of the day, I’m someone who finds joy in the little things—music, a great cup of coffee, a good book, a beautiful season, flowers, sports, and time spent making memories.
And those little things are what make me.
