Chris was great to work with and does quality work. He arrived early to our maternity shoot and was ready to work. He didn't waste any time, we got a lot done in our one hour session. He delivered our pictures within a week and we couldn't be more pleased.

We reached out to Chris for our engagement photos at Griffith Park after looking at this amazing portfolio! He was right on time, professional and made us feel comfortable doing a shoot for the first time. The photos turned out amazing, and he even took the time to re-color a few at my request. Can’t thank you enough Chris!

Chris was the highlight of our tiny, pandemic friendly photo shoot. He was on time to the location and prompt in his response to emails. I appreciate that he wore his mask and asked us to wear ours whenever social distancing wasn't possible. He was very patient and flexible with our ideas and helped us with our posing style. His approach is very client-centered, which is everything a couple need to feel comfortable and confident. Thank you, Chris for capturing sweet moments that will last forever. And thank you for your kindness and patience. Here are some of my favorites.

Chris did an AMAZING job on our engagement photos. The quality of work, in my opinion, was more than what we paid for. He was a complete professional can came the shoot with a game plan (which I appreciated). My finance and have never done a photoshoot before, but Chris was amazing at guiding us through it.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I normally charge $125/hour for photography and travel depending on the distance. Photo editing and retouching are included in the hourly rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with new clients, or have a phone conversation to get to know them and get an understanding of what their photography needs and expectations. We set a vision for the photo shoot or special occasion that will be captured and discuss budget and pricing.
The next step is to finalize the details and sign a working agreement between both parties.
50% downpayment is required to book a date.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started with a passion for photographs and motion pictures.
I have been a photographer for nine years and a professional wedding photographer for five of those years.
