I had a great experience working with this photographer! He responded immediately when I reached out, scheduled the shoot for the very next day, and delivered the edited real estate photos that same afternoon. The quality was excellent, and his pricing was very fair—no overcharging. Super professional and efficient. Highly recommend!

I honestly wish I could give more stars; I am extremely happy with my photos and experience. This was my first time getting professional pictures, and I definitely will be booking again. It was a new experience for me and my partner, but overall we felt completely comfortable, and our pictures turned out amazing!!

Brent was amazing! He let me take my time, gave good direction, and produced wonderful photos (while we battled 40 mph winds!). Love all of the photos we took and would definitely recommend him to anyone!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! He was attentive and respectful. Before the wedding he always answered pretty fast with any questions we had. He is very patient and an absolute pleasure to work with. He worked with us to make sure our pictures turned out amazing. He showed me previews of our pictures on his camera to make sure we would love them. 100% the best choice to go with Idle Hands.

Idle Hands Photography was a delight to work with. We hired Brent for our wedding (first look, ceremony and reception) and he handled his work in a professional manner. We set up a call with him prior to the wedding date and appreciated that he was patient with us in answering all of our questions. He was also very responsive to us when we inquired about the status of the photos after the wedding. He did a great job capturing the highlights of our big day and exceeded our expectations in editing our photos. We believe we made the right choice in hiring him for our wedding. Will recommend to others and would hire again for other occasions!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to make sure we’re on the same page with what the customer wants (type of event/look/feel/posing/location) so I like to plan everything out beforehand so the customer will be happy with the completed photos.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
In my law enforcement career I took evidence photos and in my days and years of patrolling I began to notice a myriad of things that would make good photographs. It became a hobby and now I love making great memories for people!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with literally every walk of life in my previous career and will gladly accommodate literally anyone that wants a quality photo session and can pay my fee.
