About
Photographing people is all about making people comfortable in front of the camera. I create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself and together we can make great memories. By planning ahead, there is never a need to rush this part of the day. For weekday and Sunday weddings, I also offer excellent discounts and I can do smaller, shorter weddings as well for those of you who only need 1-4 hours service.
It's the time of year for senior portraits, so give me a call and tell me what you have in mind.
I also do family portraits, newborns, commercial photography and shoots that are unconventional and interesting.
I provide service to Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and the Finger Lakes region. I also provide service in Sarasota/Tampa Bay area.

I hired Thomas to photograph my Dad’s 80th birthday party and it was one of the best decisions I made in planning the party! We planned the photos we wanted and he worked hard during the event to remain inconspicuous but to also grab great candid moments, as well as orchestrate the more formal photos quickly and as people were available, so as to remain in the background of the celebration. I am really pleased with the photos I have seen so far. He was responsive, on time (early actually) and a pleasure to work with!! I recommend him without hesitation.
Details: Birthday party • 25 - 49 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints • Album or photo book

I highly recommend Tom! He arrived early, maintained excellent communication, and demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire event. His creativity and ability to make everyone feel comfortable really stood out. He also delivered the final photos promptly, which we greatly appreciated. His services are both high‑quality and affordable. We were extremely pleased with the entire experience.

Tom was amazing to work with, an absolute pleasure. he was extremely responsive and communicative. He produced a wonderful product and got me the edited pictures very quickly which was perfect since we were only in town briefly. Use Tom, and you will not be disappointed.

Tom was absolutely AWESOME: timely, professional, and BEAUTIFUL pictures of our 50th anniversary celebration! He made sure all were included, and even stayed longer than planned to capture the activity! His fee is beyond reasonable, and again, his quality is superb!! On top of all that, Tom is a really lovely person to work with! We are so pleased!!!

We hired Thomas to photograph a baby shower and couldn't be happier. He was quick to respond, showed up early, and the photos turned out amazing. Great price too. We'll definitely use him again. Highly recommend.
