About
I’m here to capture the real you—natural, confident, and beautifully lit. With 9 years in business as a solo photographer, you’ll work directly with me from planning to final delivery. I offer portrait, engagement, boudoir, wedding and event, and aerial photography with professional quality at a reasonable price. My rate starts as low as $260 per hour, depending on the project. Every session includes fully retouched, high‑resolution digital images plus a private online photo album for easy viewing and sharing. Turnaround times are quick, so you can enjoy your photos without a long wait. If you’re ready to create images that feel authentically you, let’s talk about your ideas.

We had so much fun with our engagement photos. He had our pictures done and sent to us in 2 day!! He was really fast in responding and all the pictures look amazing! We loved that he gives good direction on how to pose. Because I definitely needed the help!

Ethan was made our special day very memorable! He had such great photo ideas and really caught all of the special moments. We had a small elopement ceremony, but he made it feel like we were in the spotlight. The photos turned out so beautifully! I’d recommend him to everyone!

We had a pretty complex and very meaningful photo session planned, a large family shoot combined with a surprise proposal, and Ethan absolutely delivered.

From the beginning, he was responsive, flexible, and collaborative in helping us think through locations and timing, especially with lighting considerations. On the day of the shoot, he executed everything seamlessly. He guided our large group, including kids, through family
photos efficiently, and then transitioned perfectly into the surprise proposal without raising any suspicion.

The proposal moment itself was captured beautifully, completely natural and candid, exactly what we were hoping for. He did not just take pictures, he helped orchestrate the flow of the moment so it felt smooth and special.

The final
photos were excellent, high quality, well edited, and delivered quickly as promised. We ended up with a great mix of posed family shots and genuine, emotional moments from the engagement.

If you are looking for someone who is professional, easy to work with, and capable of handling both structured and once in a lifetime moments, I highly recommend Ethan.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.
