We hired Gary to take our family photos in a scenic location overlooking the Hudson. First, I love our photos! Gary was easy to communicate with throughout the process, took the time to scope out the right location ahead of time, and made the session pleasant and easy. We had somewhat gloomy weather but Gary's skills more than compensated for it, resulting in a series of photos with such beautiful color and lighting. Would work with him again.

Gary did an amazing job. He was very professional and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the shoot. He offered guidance where it was needed but also gave us the freedom to do what we were feeling and the shots that we were sure we wanted to capture. I highly recommend Gary and would work with him again.

Gary was excellent. He stayed connected the entire time and the pictures turned out great. I’m extremely satisfied with the choice I made. I did a surprise engagement proposal and it went almost better than planned.
Thanks again Gary!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is divided into two main categories. First there is the session fee, typically starting at $350 per hour of shooting. Second is the photo fees, this includes a per image download, total gallery download, and print/album choices.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A phone consultation is the best way to discuss your needs and interests, my style and the entire process from contract to delivery.
