We eloped and wanted to have a super low-key ceremony. We don’t usually like staged photos and so were nervous about getting a photographer. But Zach was awesome: prompt, kind, and professional. We enjoyed chatting with him while he took a series of great shots that had good variety of poses, backgrounds, etc. Great editing, responsive to feedback, and readily achieved a final result that we loved. Most important, our mom’s are happy. Looking forward to booking him again for a family portrait with our dog. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We hired Zach for our small backyard family wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice. He was incredibly responsive and listened to what we wanted which was to capture a lot of candid moments. It would be easy for a photographer to stand out with our 20 person wedding but he blended right in and was a delight to have as a guest. He even captured fun pictures of our dogs that we love. Couldn't recommend him more.

Zach did an amazing job working with my stepson for his senior photo shoot. My stepson doesn’t like being in photos. Ever. So to see him open up and even show his personality during the session, was an awesome thing. Zach also helped us find the perfect location. I look forward to future photo shoots for other special family events!

I reached out to Zach via Thumbtack in order to set up some family photos and graduation portraits. He responded very quickly and was really pleasant to interact with online and over the phone. He walked me through the next steps and we were able to set up a time and date for the shoot that fit my schedule. He had great tips for locations since I was new to the area. Zach helped pose me and my family and didn't make us feel awkward at all. We had a great mix of candid shots and posed pictures to choose from for the final product. All the edits were great as well!

I worked with Zach on getting some photos for my profile. Zach did an amazing job of making me comfortable and clicking pictures which turned out to be better then expected. I would highly recommend his services Smriti

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  All prices are recommended starting rates, but I know that every project is unique and am happy to work with a customer if they have special needs or are under a budget. Memories are priceless, and everyone should have access to them. My cancellation policy is: Within 48 hours of the shoot - free rescheduling or refund minus deposit. Less than 48 hours of the shoot - $100 rescheduling fee or refund minus deposit.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Once a client has reached me, I like to ask a few questions: Do you have a location in mind? Do you want me to help pick one? What's your budget? When do you need your photos by, and how many would you like (roughly) in your album? Do you have a concept or theme in mind? Is our shoot for a special occasion? Once we have these details ironed out, I touch base with ideas for the shoot and location as soon as possible, and then check in again the day before to confirm. If you need to reschedule for any reason, doing so 2 days before our shoot is free.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I've been taking photographs for almost 10 years, and have been doing so professionally since early 2015. I studied Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz, taking multiple photography and videography courses and practicing my art outside of the classroom consistently, whether in the beautiful nature of the California coastline or in the live music scene. I'm constantly expanding my photography expertise with mentorships, seminars and courses from other notable photographers like Michael Shainblum and Jordan Correces. I've collaborated with brands like TEDx, IAOM and Elemental Accelerator as well as working with Portland-area clients from all walks of life. I view my photographic journey AS the destination - a learning process that will never truly end - and strive to improve myself with every client I meet.
