Introduction: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. – Edgar Degas. This statement sums up my approach to photography. Art is not only a passion but a way of life for me, I’m also a Painter, Art Teacher and hold a master’s degree in fine arts. I want to use my artistic skills to serve you and bring you joy. If you decided to hire me you’ll recognize that I approach every photo-shoot as a blank canvas, where memories can be captured for the rest of time. I love capturing my customers in a magical and creative way. When you receive your photos you’ll be able to recognize that I try to tell a story with every photo I take, you will recognize my ability to take into consideration minute details such as lighting and the way it can impact a face or setting. I love the opportunity to be creative by finding ways to make my clients look their best. Seeing a client happy gives me the greatest joy. Having the opportunity to work with interesting individuals, from all walks of life is pretty awesome. The smiles on faces of skeptical or photo shy clients, after seeing their photos and loving what they see is priceless. I also provide timely and efficient service.

We had nothing but a great experience with Earl for our gender reveal photoshoot! We hired him only for gender reveal photos, however he covered maternity photos as well. Earl was quick to respond to any queries that we had and was very friendly. We received shoot photos, my wife and I really like the final output!!

My plans changed and I found myself needing a photographer last minute for my engagement proposal. I was lucky enough to reach Photo Magique. Earl did an amazing job. Not only did he arrive early to help prepare everything but he also worked incredibly hard to make our evening so special. My expectations were exceeded a million times. I would strongly recommend Photo Magique for any even, Earl is incredibly talented, kind, and professional. He made our evening so special with his help and beautiful photography.

After the phone consultation I will send you an invoice and attached contract, of which you will be required to pay a $50 deposit or 30% towards your event budget. 3. I will be in constant communication until the day of your event or shoot. 4. After the shoot you can expect your final images within 7 business days. Prior to receiving your images an invoice will be sent requesting the balance of your shoot. 5. A link to your gallery will be sent to your email and cell phone. Followed by instructions on how to print, download, and share your images.
