Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Please take a look at my portfolio to see some of the highlights of my work. When I was a young child, I went to a photography class at MCC. There marked my beginnings, as I remember the professor showing us how to use a light meter to test the exposure. Then in high school, I enrolled in a photography class. We developed our own film inside a dark room. My teacher liked one of my works so much she had it put on display in a showcase in the hallway. In college I worked for Virtual Imaging Corporation, as a real estate photographer. I photographed houses using a panoramic camera and stitching them together with special software. In 2021, I worked as a photographer for Tesla, photographing the progress of the opening of a new facility over the course of several months. I keep my rates low so that I can do what I love every day. If I can make you happy with the way you look, I'll be happy! So, I will check in often, to make sure you are comfortable with the kind of shots we are getting. If not, just tell me... and we can adjust as needed. After payment, I will provide an online image gallery of all of the best shots on a password protected page. Note: I only accept clients that I build a rapport with. If you are just looking for the best price, I'm sure you can find somebody else. However, my prices remain, at a loss to my bank account. Satisfaction guaranteed or 100% money-back!

My daughter and I got our Christmas photos taken today morning by Ben and the results were amazing! Ben was professional, kind and punctual! Prior to the photoshoot, he contacted me to talk about the shoot and to get all the details that were important to me. During the shoot he checked in by showing us images on his camera to ensure that we liked the images . He made great suggestions to enhance the pictures and he was very patient with my 6 year old! The turn around time was super quick and the quality of the pictures great!! I'll hire Ben again for my spring pics and definitely refer and recommend him to anyone in the Rochester area who needs professional portraits

Ben was an awesome choice for my new husband and I to have take our elopement pictures at City Hall! He was able to make our vision come to life when we showed him our inspiration pictures and he was super attentive with getting the right shot. We appreciated Ben's flexibility when we had to reschedule and his willingness to even finish our shoot on another day when our's got cut short from the rain. We loved how our pictures turned out!
