We own Cane Creek Productions, LLC, which is an award winning wedding photo and film company based in Graham, NC. We have photos displayed at art galleries in Australia, Bangkok, and we have been published in several magazines nationwide.

I (Jess), have been in the photography industry for 15+ years, but I started my love for it at 11 years old. I went to college for graphic design, but ultimately decided photography was my calling.

We have four children, and when our oldest son started playing sports at the age of four of course this photographer mom started taking photos at his games! Although this 'business' is new, the sports photography world isn't new to me (Jess) because it's something I have been doing for over 10 years for my children and the teams they've played for.

We wanted to bring more dynamic 'sportraits', kick butt action shots, and highlight films to this area because, we believe, some of the top athletes in the state are right here in our county. With the explosion of social media it changed the way our athletes are viewed, and a lot of times these athletes are getting college exposure based solely on highlight films/action shots they post to social media. We knew we needed to get these athletes better quality media to post because they have the talent!

While brainstorming how to get this branch of our business rolling, I knew I needed a name that set us apart from the typical school team photography company. I like different, I like unique, I like names with meaning….so….Alpha Collective was born. Alpha, meaning ”top/leader”, and Collective, meaning “team”…'Top Team'…which is exactly what we are going to give you guys! The best of the best in this industry. I’m so excited for what’s to come!!
