Peter was great to work with! He was quick to respond to initial inquiry with all information and accurate quote! He didn’t mind that we were a little late to the spot and stayed until our session was complete! I recommend Peter for all types of photography, especially engagements as he is very knowledgeable and has great work!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees are priced to provide exceptional quality at a good value. In addition, I offer discounts on some studio weekday headshots and portraits.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Understanding the types and styles of images you need helps meet or exceeding your expectations. Images only have value if they achieve the customer's goals and purpose. I work with the customer to understand their desires. This allows me to capture the images that are most important to them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography has been a lifelong passion. I have a master's degree in Instructional Systems Technology (IST) focus on photography from Indiana University. My many years of work experience as a magazine photographer has honed my skill. I participated in many workshops and seminars.
