About

Hey there, I'm Cliff! I am a local photographer who believes great photos happen when people feel like themselves. I guide you through the session in a way that feels easy and comfortable. My goal is to help you look confident, natural, and real, without any forced posing. I offer clean edits, quick delivery, and a smooth, friendly experience from start to finish.

Cliff was great with our newborn shoot! He was patient and worked with us to get some great shots of our daughter that we’re so happy with. He came to our home with everything needed to capture some great photos. Turnaround time for final photos was so quick!

Clifford was such a joy to work with! I hired him to take kitten photos of our new kitty, Hazel. Clifford was extremely prompt, always, in communication. He was able to get me in to his schedule quickly (before Hazel got too big!) and the price was very affordable for the great quality and effort put into it! Let's just say that Hazel was not a coorperative model... but Clifford didn't miss a beat and was flexible, adjusting strategy to get some precious photos. HUGELY PATIENT working with a lightening speed kitten who always did the opposite of what you wanted. I had Clifford over to my house for the shoot (for Hazel's comfort), and he was great fun to host, very respectful and had a calm energy, which my cats appreciated. He was a hoot to work with. A really fun photo shoot and memories we can have forever. <3 Thanks, Clifford!!
