Elmo is lovely to work with! He was so much fun to take pictures with. He really listened to want I wanted and helped me take photos that reflected my true personality. He let me have a few outfit changes and backdrops - which was great value for the price. He was dedicated to getting great photos I can use professionally for years to come. And this all reflected in the finished product. I love the photos he took! They are fantastic.

Elmo, you truly are an artist. My wife and I are so impressed by the results of our wedding photos and could not be happier. Elmo was so professional, kind, and talented throughout the entire day. He went above and beyond our expectations as a photographer. He was able to capture a wide range of moments on our wedding day. You can really feel his passion pour out as he works and really made the experience exceptional for us. Everyone family and friends were happy with his cheerful attitude. Would love to have him back for future events and we are so thankful to have had him capture all our wedding memories. Wish I could give more stars.

We had a corporate event and wanted an employee group picture taken. Elmo was punctual to our event and his attention to detail throughout our time with him was evident. He was very courteous to everyone and was very outgoing with our group. We had a special expedited turnaround request to have the pictures edited and emailed to us so that we could put together special mementos for our employees the next day. Elmo had the pictures sent to my inbox within a few hours of taking them! Our CEO was happy with the result and now the photos are on everyone's desk to enjoy! THANK YOU, ELMO!

I’m terribly awkward in front of the camera. Elmo helped me relax and be myself. He worked with me to capture the quality I was looking for in my photo.
