About
I am passionate about making excellent photographs and do all I can to bring out the best in my subjects. I use the highest quality photographic equipment and I have a thorough understanding of how to use the equipment to get great results!
My photographs are not overly processed. I try to have them reflect the real life scene in which the photographs were taken. My expectation is to provide you with excellent photos from every session.
Honestly, I tend to aim for epic results!
I enjoy working with the people and seeing their pleasure when they see the final product. It is that joy that makes my work rewarding and a constant source of inspiration.

Ray was absolutely fantastic! He took pictures of our engagement. He was always quick to respond and very adaptable when plans had changed. Very kind and polite. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Will definitely go for him in our next event!

Ray was fantastic to work with from the very start. The communication between us was important and appreciated. He assessed our needs and offered area insights which helped us narrow down a location for our shoot. Ray was able help overcome my biggest concern, which was to showcase our romantic connection through our photos. We absolutely love our photos, and we can now revisit our time together while in Nashville through his work. Best souvenir ever! Thank you, Ray for your time and talent!

Ray responded immediately and was able to work me into his schedule right away. He was very professional, courteous, and ensured I was happy with the all the shots. He then got my package sent right away and I was able to choose the ones I liked best so he could add touch ups and sent back .. all in the same day! Would definitely recommend and will use him for more professional shoots!

Ray was fantastic to work with! I have two young kids (6 and 3) and Ray took the most beautiful family photos for us. He could not have been more patient, kind, and professional when working with us. He took TONS of photos (it can be hard to get the right smile with little kiddos!) so we have lots to choose from. He was so great to work with- I'm happy we've found our photographer for future projects as well! Work with Ray- you will NOT be disappointed!!

Amazing experience! Great personality, professional, easy going. Made the process a breeze, especially if you are a little uncomfortable taking photos! Extremely quick at responding and getting your photos back. Ours were done the same day. Wonderful at what he does! He’s definitely worth it :)

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees are for the service of photographing an event or session. I do not include printed products in my quoted fees, nor do I require that you purchase a set of prints as a part of this quoted fee.
All photographs will be made using high quality photographic equipment and all photographs will be taken in RAW format. Every photograph is reviewed and processed individually before being delivered via a password protected, website gallery.
The photographs will be delivered in the highest possible resolution and available for free download in .JPG format from the gallery website.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Normally, I ask that you hire me on Thumbtack by clicking through the hiring process that is done through the website. Once you choose me as your photographer, we communicate via the Thumbtack messaging feature, via telephone or email to arrange a date, time and location for the session. If it is a wedding or other event that requires a consultation, we can arrange a meeting to discuss the details.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and will do all I can to ensure that we have discussed all aspects of the session/event coverage to ensure the expectations are properly set and the assignment understood.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed well over 500 sessions in my photography activities over the last 12 years.
One of the greatest honors I have received was from Nikon in 2012, in having one of my images selected to be prominently displayed as their banner image for the month of December of that year.
