Chris was an exceptional photographer. He responded immediately to our request. He was thoughtful, professional and punctual. His price was very reasonable. Our family photos are outstanding. We couldn't be happier with his service.

I booked Chris for two of my birthday events and I cannot recommend him enough! He truly went above and beyond to make our events special and capture led some incredible memories that we will cherish forever! From the moment we met it felt like we were working with family. Chris was warm friendly and easy to work with. He took the time to get to know us and our preferences and he managed to capture the essence of our events and the people in them. We were blown away by the value of the photography services he provided. Thanks Chris

Chris was so great! He took group photos and headshots for my office. He was very responsive, very reasonably priced, came right on time, made my entire staff laugh and enjoy the photo shoot and best of all the pictures came out great! The pictures were ready the next day and when I requested an edit of a photo he did it within minutes. Amazing customer service. Thank you, Chris!

Chris was very responsive to what we wanted, very accommodating. He did not pressure us with time and just wanted us to feel comfortable and be happy. The pictures came out very nice, were easy to access and he gave them in both color and black and white. Thank you, Chris!
