Brian and Hazel Mountain Photography has helped cross something off my bucket list. I was finally able to organize and get the entire family together for a portrait after 15 years. Brian's flexibility with our location change due to excessive crowding and sporadic weather changes was pretty amazing. His patience to stay and shoot photos until every wanted pose by my 23 family members were out of ideas was really cool also. The evening sunset and farmhouse grounds only added to the quality product produced by Brian. Everyone loves the photos taken that day! Brian, thank you for your time & talent that has captured much needed photo records that are already being cherished.

He was very understanding of what i wanted and the patience of a saint. His input exceeded my expectations . I am deeper skinned toned woman he made me look truly ethereal . I am sort of new to this professional photography process . He made it very easy. Super chill but very thorough. I learned that "smizing"is fine but to look through the camera lens to emote sensuality authentically.
Ps his assistant Brittany is a gem throughout this process as well.

Paul did an awesome job on our family portraits from my home. He was very patient and didn’t rush. Photos came out just how we wanted it! Highly recommended!!

He did my daughter's senior photos and did an excellent job. He listened to what she wanted and provided exactly that. We had the photos within 5 days. I will use him again next time we need photos.

Brian with HMP worked with me to get the exact shots I needed for my book cover and promo materials. He made me feel at ease and worked efficiently so that I didn't go over my budget. I couldn't recommend him any higher. I'll no doubt be working with him again on future projects.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The starting price can be altered depending on the customers needs. A session is usually an hour long. If there is a budget that we need to hit, please let me know and we will do everything to stay within those parameters.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Communication about the project. We try and understand the goals and objectives of the shoot so that we are prepared before the client steps on set. We have a full studio equipped with a full bathroom in case there are multiple looks or high end/fantasy makeup.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Lightroom, portrait pro and photoshop software knowledge
