Brett was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did our pictures turn our amazing but the whole session was fun! This was our first session as professionals and he helped us loosen up and get the best shots! He was very knowledgeable and had quite a few tips to make us look our best, and his studio was amazing! We will definitely be using him again!!

Brett did a wonderful job with poses, backgrounds, lighting, in studio and outside. He made me feel comfortable and his work was great!

I found Brett through Thumbtack and am so fortunate I did!! I needed photos done for my online fitness business to use for social media marketing. I was so impressed with how quickly he responded to every inquiry and how easy he was to work with in setting up a time, place, etc. He was extremely flexible and really did everything he could to make the shoot work for my schedule, which with 2 kids and a traveling husband can be tricky!
The shoot was such a blast. Brett and his assistant, Natalie, made both my husband and I feel so comfortable. I had never done portraits/headshots before so I was a bit nervous. Brett explained exactly what he needed me to do and discussed with me before hand what a successful shoot would look like. It was obvious he is a professional and has a ton of experience.
The photo lasted about 3 hours but before we even got there he had been scouting out locations for a few hours I'd say. He was prepared, organized, had ideas for shots and poses, and we flowed nicely through the different locations. They made it very fun and we all laughed a lot. My husband came with me for support and both Brett and Natalie made a special effort to include him and make conversation.
Now the good stuff! The pics were incredible! I'm dying over them. He gives you the rights to EVERY pic. I have 417 I think and did he did not charge me extra to get them-which most photogs do. He posts them on Dropbox and is also going the extra mile and giving them to me on disc. I am blown away by the extra effort that Brett has shown us. I am confident he goes the extra mile for each client he works with-you can just tell that's the type of person he is. I could not have asked for a better experience or for better quality of photos. I can't say enough great things about Brett! He is worth every, single, penny. I highly recommend working with him no matter what your photography needs are.

Working with Brett was Fantastic. He is very skilled and creative and took all the shots I was hoping to get from the shoot. He got the photos done fast and gave me lots of variations to pick from. Super happy with the turn out and work, I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Brett was extremely responsive to the bid request and upon accepting the job he did a fantastic job. He spent a great deal of time capturing amazing shots of both kids separately and together. He found unique locations and creative ways to highlight the personalities of both kids and made sure they were engaged and enjoyed themselves. Accomplishing this with 9 year old twins is no easy feat but he made it seem like second nature. I couldn't have asked for a better experience nor could I have hoped for any better shots. I would highly recommend Brett to anyone looking for photos to be taken.
