Brian was just amazing. He is a really great photographer who knows his work well. He made us comfortable from the start. His vision and his editing skills are good too. I found his pricing package at value and turn around time for photos are phenomenal. Another plus is he is not someone who just sticks to the time frame allotted rather sticks to getting great content. I would highly suggest Brian for candids/portraits. We look forward to having more photo shoots with Brian.

Brian was wonderful! He showed up early to scope out the location, made sure we got all of the poses I had sent beforehand, and was lovely to work with. Our photos turned out so beautiful!!

I found Brian via Thumbtack in search of a photographer in the Tidewater area of Virginia. From the look of his profile and images on Thumbtack and Instagram, I knew he was the right photographer for our family photos. Communicating with Brian was always pleasant and professional. We had an initial location that needed to be change due to an event downtown Norfolk, and the suggested location was perfect! Brian arrived at the location on time and was ready to work. He was very patient with my family, because as we all know it can be a lot when it’s a large group. Nevertheless, we all had an enjoyable time taking family pictures, and it all showed when he delivered the images. We are all so happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Brian to be our your photographer. Thank you Brian for sharing your gift!!

If you’re reading reviews and determining if Brian would be the photographer for you, trust us and pick him! We could not recommend Brian enough. We had not heard of thumbtack before and we were nervous to pick a photographer as we do not know many people in the Norfolk area for references. After talking to Brian I knew he’d be the best photographer. Brian was very quick to respond to any questions, and he had the flexibility for us to pick a date for the pictures. On the day of the photos, Brian did an excellent job picking out spots that would capture us the best, and helped us avoid being camera shy with his tips on how to pose. He was also very patient as we got our dog to pose properly. We could not be more happy with how our pictures turned out and the price was truly unbeatable compared to others prices in the area!! We also got the pictures back within 1 week, I couldn’t believe it!!! We’ll definitely use him again when needed. Bonus- all of our family and friends keep complimenting how incredible Brian’s pictures turned out.
