In Honor Of The Late Saturah Hayes

Official Resolution of Respect From Jaelon Pruitt Productions23

It is with a heavy, heavy heart and tears in my eyes that Jaelon Pruitt and Jaelon Pruitt Productions23 send our deepest condolences to the family of the late Saturah Hayes, who tragically lost her life to senseless gun violence on prom night May,8th 2026.

Jaelon Pruitt Productions23 had the privilege of capturing Saturah’s 17th birthday pictures on Saturday, November 15, 2025. I do not take it lightly or for granted when clients book with me. Every client who steps foot in my studio or stand in front of my camera becomes like family in some way, somehow.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Saturah. This is a heartbreaking moment for her family, friends, classmates, and everyone who loved her. During this difficult time, we ask that you keep her loved ones lifted in prayer. Though our hearts are broken here on earth, we believe the angels in Heaven are rejoicing. Rest in love, Saturah.
You will forever be remembered

About Jaelon Pruitt

Jaelon Pruitt – Professional Photographer | Founder of Jaelon Pruitt Productions 23

My name is Jaelon Pruitt, and I am a 21-year-old professional photographer with a deep passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. My journey into photography began at South Side High School, where I took an A/V Production class that sparked my interest in visual storytelling. From that moment, I knew photography was more than just a hobby—it was my calling.

In 2020, I took a leap of faith and launched my own photography business, Jaelon Pruitt Productions 23. As my passion and skills grew, so did my ambitions. In 2022, I obtained my business license, officially turning my creative vision into a professional endeavor. Like many great entrepreneurs, I started from humble beginnings, working out of my home garage. However, through dedication, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to my craft, I was able to expand into a fully equipped studio, allowing me to offer high-quality photography and editing services.

The late Jerry Mercer once said, “You have to love what you do in order to be good at what you do.” That quote resonates deeply with me because photography isn’t just a job—it’s what I love. Whether I’m capturing portraits, events, or creative projects, my goal is to produce images that tell a story, evoke emotion, and leave a lasting impression. I take great pride in my work, ensuring that every client experiences the highest level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail.
