For anyone looking to hire a great photographer for property or community work, Rick is an excellent choice. He followed our shot list closely and delivered ~100 high-quality images, including aerial drone photos. The framing, composition, and perspective were consistently strong throughout.
Our goal was solid, representative photos of the property, and that is exactly what we got! We did not request edited images, and the photos were great as delivered. Communication was prompt and professional, and he was easy to work with from scheduling through delivery. We’ll definitely be hiring him again for future projects.

Rick was great, he showed up on time and ready to go. He came to our messy site and made it look like a Hollywood production. He was able to highlight the best angles of our home. He also has the best personality! We highly recommend Rick.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Considering we have photographic services to offer in so many aspects (Portrait, School, Corporate, Business, Aerial, Virtual Tours, Family, Children and more) we have a separate structure for each department. Each dimension of photography requires a unique approach.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We like to go through examples of our work and get to know who our new customers are including their likes and dislikes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We have many years invested with the PPA (Professional Photographers Association) and the WPPA (Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association). Within the association we also have countless hours of training and studies in the art of photography.
