John was incredibly responsive from inquiry over email, to speaking in person to following up and confirming our shoot details. He made our shoot exactly what I had hoped for a family of 17. He was very efficient and captured all of us perfectly. I cannot believe how quickly he turned around the photos to us. They were wonderful. I highly recommend John!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I strive to be affordable and I never want your budget to be the reason we don't work together. If you like my work, reach out and let's talk.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always want to have phone calls or meetings with new customers ahead of our session. This allows us to get on the same page with expectations for style, deliverables, and how the shoot will work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Ball State University with degrees in Theatre Directing and Video Production. This experience as a film and theatre director makes me uniquely suited for posing clients and creating comfortable, fun photo shoots.
I also have more than 4 years experience as a video journalist. What this gives me is a keen eye. I see photo opportunities and stories that other photographers just wouldn't think of.
