Don was great. His professionalism was outstanding and his quality of work and effort he puts into every detail in making sure that the client receives the desired photo with the best quality is second to none. I have recommended him to my family and friends and would recommend his service to anyone looking for professional or just high quality pictures at an affordable and reasonable price.

Well, I hired Don to take some headshots for me for my acting resume. It took me a few days to come up with the money but Don was patient and worked with me till the end. We set up a time and date that worked for the both of us. Don also helped me locate his studio in Omaha. Once in the studio, Don was very professional and definitely knew what he was doing with the camera. Before the shoot we talked a little bit about each other and what our goal was with the shoot. During my time in the studio, Don was very professional and did not disappoint. I would recommend Don to anybody looking for headshots or any other portrait styled photos!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I don't like to lose jobs over a few dollars, so I often ask potential clients what their budget is, and do my best to meet them at a point that is comfortable for both of us. My entire fee is always up front and there are never any hidden charges.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Communication, and knowing exactly what my client wants from me. This is a partnership that works best when everyone is on the same page.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I was educated in macro and forensic photography at such institutions as the University of St. Louis School of Medicine, the Southern Police Institute, and others. Additionally I regularly collaborate with and get inspiration from some of the finest photographers in the industry as well as other pros from across the country and constantly study the latest trends in editing, shooting, etc. There are countless resources for professional photographers who want to stay on top of their game.
