Headshot Photography
It was a real pleasure working with Fred. We had a few people that worked in Erie that we needed headshots for our website. We had some specifications that we needed him to meet and Fred was on point and extremely helpful. He was pleasant and accommodating even over the holidays when I'm sure he's extremely busy. We'll definitely be using Fred again and would recommend him for your professional or family photo needs.

Fred is one of the loveliest photographers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I work for a non-profit in Long Island and needed an important photo shoot in Buffalo done quickly. We had no contacts there so luckily Thumbtack came in handy. I put my project request out to a few photographers and luckily Fred contacted me - he was so sweet from the very start. Communication was excellent, Fred arrived on time, got along great with our client, and the photos came out even better than I had hoped for! I am so grateful that Thumbtack brought this amazing talent to me and 1000% recommend Fred Olds!

Fred did an absolutely beautiful job for our mental health publication. He provided such a great selection of photos that it was hard to pick the strongest. He was also a pleasure to work with!

Hired Fred to do some family photos on Lake Erie. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the right shot - including actually going in the lake! Very patient with the whole group, including two young children. The photos were processed quickly and we were in constant contact about touch ups/prints etc. We will hire him again next time!

We recently hired Fred to take family photos. We have a 4 year old and 2 year old and they are very difficult to work with as far as trying to capture good shots. I felt that Fred (and his wife Katherine) were amazing with them. Katherine had brought a couple things to try and help entertain them and Fred was extremely patient. Our oldest son was especially challenging but Fred was able to get some very good shots of him! I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is thorough and very easy to deal with! Sarah

FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I continually attend seminars, and look to the net for training and tips.
- What types of customers have you worked with?I have had the pleasure of photographing families, and individuals. In the past year I took pictures of families so they could capture their kids before they got too old. I took some images of pregnancies, and the babies that followed. I was hired by a school to take headshots/portraits of their employees, and to chronicle kids in their daily activities. Mercyhurst University allowed me to capture the events at two of their culinary lunches. A candidate for office hired me to do some campaign pictures. And of course, family and friends that wanted pictures. High school seniors hired me to take their senior pictures. It's been a fun year. I love working with people.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?Let's talk about what the image in your head looks like. Where is it? Who's in it? What's the mood? On the other hand if you want me to just take the picture my way, I enjoy that freedom too. Unless it's a special occasion or event, wear solid colors in casual form fitting clothes. Try to plan for a morning or evening shoot if outdoors. The light is great at those times.
