Chris did an excellent job covering my baby shower. He needed little direction and made sure to capture all the details while honoring our special requests from the event. During our special moments, he was a reliable presence to ensure everything was remembered. I would recommend Chris if you’re looking for a professional with great value, quality, and reliability.
Details: Bridal or baby shower • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Physical proofs or prints

Thank you Zharde for your 5 star review. I needed no direction because I have been photographing events like this for over 25 years while also honoring any special requests. I know exactly what is needed to give you a storytelling photographic journey through your Baby Shower's event. I make sure you have great memories of the occasion and the special moments. Thanks again.
