About
My business stands out through the quality of work I produce for my clients, and the way I treat my clients. I create a variety of lighting and poses in portraits, and capture a cross-the-board array of photos when I photography events. do this for a very reasonable investment. I edit each photo to produce a high quality image while maximizing quality of each photo straight out of the camera. My turnaround is usually only a couple of days on edits for portraits, and 4 days on weddings and events.
I truly enjoy all aspects of photography from lighting to composition to editing. I enjoy the process of producing each photo, and it brings me great pleasure to see my photos bring joy to others. I basically enjoy everything about my photography.

Eric Laney is a fantastic photographer. He composed beautiful engagementphotos for my fiance and I. If you are looking for a photographer who is attentive, talented, patient and creative, hire Mr. Laney. We took our photos in the afternoon and they edited pictures were in my inbox the next morning. My fiance, who edits photos himself, was extremely impressed by the quality of the photos we received. I will absolutely recommend Mr. Laney to anyone I know in need of a photographer. I couldn't be happier!

Because our wedding photos got rained out, Eric was kind enough to provide a free photo shoot of just my husband and I to "remake" some of our wedding photos.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I tailor my price to the customer's needs, and price competitively to give clients a great bargain.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work with a client by consulting with them to get an idea of what they need, and often research good locations for portrait sessions. Upon completion of a session, whether it be portraits, weddings or non-wedding events, I explain my turnaround time to clients. Upon completion of a wedding, portrait session or event, I edit the photos, and immediately notify the client when I post their photos to my client page. I also immediately send via priority mail their flash drive with high resolution digital copies of their edited photos. Payment is due on the day of photography. The only type of photography I where I require a deposit is wedding photography. A deposit for wedding photography is 20% of the total investment. I value good communication with my clients. I do my best to give clients a clear picture, no pun intended, of what I'm doing every step of the way. Here is the bottom line, however: I know how to wing it when necessary.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am self taught, with a wealth of experience. My first photography work on any professional level was 40 years ago when I was a senior in high school making photos for the yearbook.
I'm always researching my field of photography, and editing of photographs. I also experiment with different lighting and camera settings.
