Mac was awesome! Hey was on time, made great suggestions and picked great spots for the photos. He also gave me tips on what women find attractive and respond well to on dating apps. He really knew his stuff and I was more than pleased with the end result. You really can't beat the price for the value. Choose Mac, you won't regret it!

Mac, did a great job taking my daughter's Senior photos. I explained what we were envisioning, he listened and delivered. He kept in touch with me prior to the date with information and instructions. He was very organized, friendly, and professional. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! Everyone of our friends and family that have seen them are just in awe! Thank you so much Mac!!!

Mac was/ is extremely professional, patient, and creative. He did his best with our crazy brood (tired, moody kids) he rolled with the punches and gave great direction and guidance. I will definately use him again, but for a different event.

For this being first photoshoot. Mac, definitely was very understanding & patient while taking photos of me.
I was a little tense throughout somewhat of the whole photo session. But that can definitely change over time as I will continue to book, Mac again in the near future for photography sessions.
I got very comfortable with him. Aside from that not only did he have so much patience with me, but he definitely showed & gave me good tips on how to be more relaxed, model poses, a natural smile technique, & much more!
I definitely had a blast!!
Thankyou, Mac

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is essential that the client and I are on the same page. I ask the clients their desired specifications or results and meet them with what they want, even exceed their expectations.
For example, when it comes to headshots, there are 3 different types: actor, model and corporate.
I coach the subject, not just on the poses, but also on what he or she must do to be in sync with the headshots that they need. It doesn’t just end at the shooting session.
A model or actor, for instance, must look the same way as in their headshots when they audition and submit their headshot photos.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Serious customers
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
If they’re really serious in hiring here on Thumbtack. Photographers don’t like looky-loos.
