Introduction: Hi, I'm John, a local photographer with 30 years of experience behind the lens. I believe that everyone deserves to have a professional take photographs of their events and celebrations. I always attempt to work with my clients to find a budget that is comfortable for them. I shoot engagements, weddings, anniversaries, reunions, baptisms, quinceañeras, bat mitzvahs, family and pet portraits, sports, property, grand openings and everyday event photography. I shoot unlimited high-resolution pictures and use professional full-frame Nikon equipment. Backdrops and studio lighting are available also. I lightly retouch, color enhanced and then provide you with a flash drive with unlimited print rights. Photo stream and social media uploads are available as well. My local and recent references can verify my artistic skills, promptness and professional approach to photography.
