Incredible experience with Paul. So easy going and was quick to capture candids. Made sure we got the formal shots we wanted but was also go with the flow with several kids. Found the perfect angles and lighting in a crowded beach. We love every photo. Talented photographer and wonderful person. Highly highly Recommend.

From the moment we got in touch, Paul was so accommodative, professional, and worked with us until we got the right spot to shoot. He suggested the beach, which was not in our original plan and boy are we glad we did! This was our 2nd professional shoot and he made our experience an amazing one. We also had 2 kids, along with 5 adults and he captured such magical moments we will cherish forever. He knew just what to say to get the kids to smile and be in such positive mood the entire time. There are so many good photos of us that we will have a difficult time choosing which ones to include in our Christmas card! And that's a blessed problem to have. If you want to capture magical moments with your family or friends on any occasion, look no further than Paul!

Paul was amazingly helpful during our portfolio shoot at the park. He has a great eye for scenery, and knows how to make the model feel comfortable and assured of what looks good and what doesn't. He was punctual, he was immensely professional, he had a great spirit, he had his own setup and was very capable of co-directing my portfolio and headshots. The turnover time was also very quick and he had my photos back to me in a very reasonable amount of time, with a very professional level of retouching. He really is a versatile One Stop Shop for your photography needs and I look forward to working with him again in the future

Fun experience. The location her chose was absolutely beautiful. Paul is very sweet, caring, and amazing talent!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is always an all inclusive rate, there are no additional fees and of course it includes all the best images from the photo shoot. I like to just be upfront and only advertise the final price!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got my start in photography shooting for my high school yearbook! Shooting all through high school, college, and to present there have been such a variety of amazing and fun projects. From senior portraits, prom photos, events, sideline sports, family photos, or even hanging 100ft in the air off the side of a mountain shooting rock climbers - photography has taken me to some pretty amazing places and I've had the pleasure to meet and work along side some amazing people.
